Ananda Chandra Agarwala (1874–1940) was a writer, poet, historian, translator and administrative officer from Biswanath District of Assam. He is known as Bhangoni Kunwor for his translation of several English poems into Assamese. He was elected as a president of the Asam Sahitya Sabha in 1934 held at Mangaldoi.[1][2] He was honoured with the title of Raibahadur by the ruling British Government. Ananda Chandra Agarwala was the brother of noted Assamese poet Chandra Kumar Agarwala and uncle of Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, a poet, playwright, composer, lyricist, writer and first Assamese Filmmaker.
Growing up in a cultural and intellectual environment, the mother’s influence on the life of Anand Chandra Agarwal was immense. Ananda Chandra Agarwala’s devout mother is his original guru.
Ananda Chandra Agarwal’s first published collection of poems was called 'Jilikani'. Anand Chandra Agarwal, who continued to beautify the original in the translation of foreign poetry, is known as Bhangani lllKonwar in Assamese poetry literature. There is no comparison of the poems broken by Ananda Chandra Agarwala, who occupied a distinct place in Assamese poetry and literary world as a Bhangani Konwar. He broke the poems by applying pure Assamese language without damaging the beauty of the original poem. His first collection of poems, Jilikani, also included several broken poems.
