Question:

I want info. about the author Dash Benhur who has written ''THE TRIBUTE''?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Dash Benhur is an Indian writer.

His real name is Sj. Jitendra Narayan Dash; he publishes scholarly articles under his real name and other literature as "Dash Benhur." He lives in Kendrapara in the state of Orissa in eastern India, and is a member of the Oriya people.

He is considered one of the most important Indian writers (Oriya writers) of the post-independence era. He is particularly associated with children's literature and poetry, as he wrote many works for children in a time that very few other writers were.

A common theme of his works is the role of the individual in society, particularly the "New Generation" and their place in a changing Indian culture.

As of three years ago, he is still alive and writing.
