The stories are popular and humorous, often ridiculing figures of authority, including the king, Krishnachandra, himself. Their origin may be traced to local oral cultures of humour. Tales of his exploits are narrated in West Bengal and Bangladesh to this day in numerous short stories. In 1757 the humiliated Gopal left the country (Krishnanagar) without anyone noticing. Returning to Krishnanagar, Gopal once again tried to convince the king. On the contrary, he broke the Nawab once again. Then at the instigation of Mir Jafar Nawab ordered the execution of Gopal. But since his breadwinner Raja Krishnachandra would also be trapped, he did not divulge it. Meanwhile, Gopal informed Mir Jafar that he had come to the Nawab to expose all the conspiracies. The Nawab informed that Gopal would be tried the next day.

Then when he was brought before the Nawab of Justice, Gopal really broke the Nawab. When he was not allowed to enter in front of the Nawab, he was bitten by a guard. Raja Krishnachandra said that he would refrain from this plan only if he could go in front of the Nawab and cut his forehead.Įven at the risk of his own life, Gopal went to Murshidabad for Krishnachandra. On the contrary, he was ridiculed by the king and his courtiers. Gopal repeatedly rebuked Raja Krishnachandra when he was partnering with Mir Jafar, Ghaseti Begum and others to remove the then Nawab of Bengal ( Siraj ud-Daulah). But Gopal never gave in to this conspiracy. This courtier of Raja Krishnachandra was a witness in the most heinous conspiracy to remove the Nawab of Bengal. Eventually a lady raised him, and in adulthood Gopal became a presence in the royal court of Krishnanagar in West Bengal. His older brother was forced into slavery and he was abducted by a robber gang. His father died when Gopal was young, and his mother was murdered via Sati-daha. Gopal, born in a low-caste family, was precocious since childhood.

Gopal is believed to have possessed a keen intelligence. His statue can still be seen in the palace of Krishnachandra and in Ghurni, Krishnagar town. The king considered Gopal as a Navaratna of his court. Gopal used to give joy to others by laughter and ridicule. He was in the court of Raja Krishnachandra (1710–1783), the then-king of Nadia in the 18th century. Gopal Bhar or Gopal Bhand ( Bengali: গোপাল ভাঁড় ) was a court jester in medieval Bengal.
