From the Publisher
Gopal Bhand, the clever barber, could be described
as the Birbal of Bengal. His native shrewdness
enabled him to turn every situation to his
advantage. Little wonder that he was favoured by
Raja Krishna Chandra of Krishna Nagar who owed
allegiance to the Nawab of Murshidabad. Whenever
the eccentric Nawab gave Raja Krishna Chandra an
impossible assignment, it was Gopal who came to
the Raja's rescue.
Being the Raja's
favourite, however, did not turn his head. He
mingled freely with the common people and often
helped them too. That explains the popularity of
this folk-hero to this day.
