Henry Louis Vivian Derozio is considered to be one of the first "Indian" poets to write in English. It is also said: "His ideas had a profound influence on the social movement that came to be known as the Bengal Renaissance in early 19th century Bengal."
It is thought that Derozio was generally considered an Anglo-Indian, being of mixed Portuguese descent, but he was fired by a patriotic spirit for his native Bengal, and considered himself Indian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Derozio Does anyone know of any references in Portuguese to this man or his work? There's surprisingly little around in English!
