Raja Rajendralal Mitra (16 February 1822 – 26 July 1891) was among the first Indian cultural researchers and historians writing in English. A polymath and the first Indian president of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, he was a pioneering figure in the Bengali Renaissance. Mitra belonged to a respected family of Bengal writers. After studying by himself, he was hired in 1846 as a librarian in the Asiatic Society of Bengal, for which he then worked throughout his life as second secretary, vice president, and finally the first native president in 1885. Mitra published a number of Sanskrit and English texts in the Bibliotheca Indica series, as well as major scholarly works including The antiquities of Orissa (2 volumes, 1875–80), Bodh Gaya (1878), Indo-Aryans (2 volumes, 1881) and more. rdf:langString
Rajendralal Mitra, född den 15 februari 1824 i en förstad till Calcutta, död där den 26 juli 1891, var en indisk sanskritist. Mitra tillhörde en ansedd familj av skrivarkasten i Bengalen. Efter självstudier blev han 1846 anställd som bibliotekarie i "Asiatic society of Bengal", för vilket han sedan verkade under hela sitt liv som efter vartannat sekreterare, vicepresident och slutligen som den förste infödde presidenten 1885. Mitra utgav en mängd sanskrittexter (på grund av bristande noggrannhet tidigt föråldrade) främst i Bibliotheca indica och större arbeten The antiquities of Orissa (2 band, 1875-80), Bodh Gaya (1878), Indo-Aryans (2 band, 1881) med mera. rdf:langString
