Toru Dutt, originally Tarulatta Datta, was a trailblazing Bengali poet and translator from British India, who masterfully penned her works in both English and French. Born on March 4, 1856, and leaving the world far too soon on August 30, 1877, Dutt's profound legacy is encapsulated in her seminal poetry volumes "Sita," "A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields" (1876), and "Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan" (1882), as well as her French novel, "Le Journal de Mademoiselle d'Arvers" (1879).
