Major works

His long poem, Bharat Gatha, narrating the history of India from ancient times up to Sepoy Mutiny, was published in 1895. However, his longest poem Udasini, published in 1875, earned him considerable recognition and praise.

Connection with the Tagore family

Akshay was Jyotirindranath Tagore's class mate in Hindu School. Jyotirindranath was the elder brother of Rabindranath Tagore.

Rabindranath loved to discuss high level literature with Akshay. Both Akshay and his wife participated in literary discussions that were held in a garden of the Thakur Bari; the garden was later named Nandan Kanan by Akshay.

Rabindranath Tagore referred to help received from Akshay in his own book titled My Reminiscences.

The ES needs no dedicated external power supply to run, instead using the same power supply as other core logic. The ES is designed to function properly over a wide range of operating conditions, exceeding the normal operating range of the processor.It isn't very specific.
