Rai Bahadur Hara Chandra Ghosh (archaic Hurro Chunder Ghose) was one of the prominent leaders of the Young Bengal group (a group of radical Bengali free thinkers emerging from Hindu College, Calcutta of British India in the early 19th century).[1] He was the first Bengali to be a judge of the Calcutta Small Causes Court from 1854 to 1868.[2][3] H.E.A. Cotton says, "In his youth, he was a favourite pupil, as the Rev. K.M.Banerjee had been of David Hare and Derozio: but unlike others he maintained his Hinduism."[3] He earned fame as a judge and was not involved in religion and social reform.[4]
