Baru Chandidas

Baru Chandidas is the name borne by most of the signatures on a long Bengali poem in songs, placed before Chaitanya, in the second half of the fourteenth century. Tradition has him born into a Brahmin family of Nanoor, in the Birbhum district. Several Bengali poets signed Chandidas over the centuries, and critics still debate what belongs to each of them; nothing established is known of his life.
