Gupta, Jogendranath (1893-1964) historian and litterateur, was born at Vikrampur, Dhaka. Jogendranath Gupta completed primary school, but was unable to continue further because of financial reasons. He became a schoolteacher and subsequently took up a job at the zamindari seresta in Mymensingh.

Jogendranath developed his writing habits and literary talent by editing journals and periodicals. Among the journals he edited were the monthly Pathik (1904), the quarterly Vikrampur (1906-18), the quarterly Kaishorak (1913-18), and the monthly Kishore Bharati.
