About Basu Thakur Family
Srihari and his brother Janakiballav were called ‘Bikramaditya’ and ‘Basanta Ray’ respectively and in 1576 they created Jessore state. On the same year Sri Basanta Ray taking inspiration from Bikramaditya invited many Brahmin and Kayastha families to come and settle down in Jessore.
