In 1932, he earned his MA in Bengali Honours, ranking First in the first Class from the Calcutta University, with record marks.Д®ven though Pramathanath excelled in most subjects, the one subject that did not appeal to him at all was mathematics. Later he graduated with BA degree in English Honours from Rajshahi College. Pramathanath passed his matriculation and IA from Shantiniketan. The seventeen years that he spent in Shantiniketan are chronicled in his own writing ('Santiniketan and Rabindranath') and in those of others. The liberal atmosphere of the institution helped in shaping his character and mentality. The profound influence of Rabindranath on his life can be attributed to his proximity to the Poet during his years in Shantiniketan. The far-reaching consequence of this decision was the subsequent blossoming of Pramathanath as a litterateur and a critic. His father chose Santiniketan 'Abode of Peace' as the school for his two sons - Pramathanath and Prafulla- on the advice of Akshay Kumar Mitra because Nalininath had more faith in the Indian system of education than the English one. Pramathanath went to study at Santiniketan at the tender age of nine. But it must be admitted that Nalininath's courage and indomitable spirit sowed the seeds of a strong personality in Pramathanath. Because of her husband's indifference to material and financial matters, Sarojini Devi had to face considerable difficulties at times. This strong, determined and free-willed son of Bengal was famous as a selfless freedom fighter. He joined the nationalist movement and was even imprisoned by the British. Pramathanath spent the first nine years of his life at the place of his birth before leaving for Santiniketan to study.ДЄlthough Nalininath was a zamindar (feudal landlord), he was more inclined towards patriotism than administering his estate. The proud father was Nalininath Bishi and the mother, Sarojini Devi. This momentous event in the history of Bengali literature took place in a village called Joari, in Natore sub-division of Rajshahi district of present day Bangladesh. Pramathanath Bishi was born in to an aristocratic family on 11th June in 1901 (28th Joistha 1308, according to the Bengali calendar).
