Pratul Chandra Gupta is an Indian historian, writer and the author of Nana Sahib and the rising at Cawnpore,[1] a historical account of the Siege of Cawnpore.[2] Considered by many as an authority on Maratha history, he translated The Maharashta Purana, an 18th century Bengali text written by Gangaram[3] into English, Edward C. Dimock, a known Indologist, being his co-translator.[4] One of his books, INA in Military Operation, was commissioned by Jawaharlal Nehru[5] but the book could not be published, reportedly due to political objections.[6] The Last Peshwa and the English Commissioners, 1818-1851[7] and Shah Alam II and His Court are some of his other notable works.[8] The Government of India awarded him the third highest civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan, in 1975, for his contributions to Literature.[9]
