He is the Indian counterpart to Sherlock Homes but is not a copy of the character. The character of Byomkesh Bakshi; an Indian-Bengali detective with proficiency with observation, logical reasoning, and forensic science was created by  Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay in 1932 and appeared in multiple novels after that. In 1993 a TV series based on the character was first broadcast which adapted each novel into an episode of the show. <\/p>\n<p>For some reason till recently there were hardly any copies of the original show available online to watch\/download. I was searching for something else when suddenly I decided to see if I could find copies of the show and after a little bit of searching I found out that Doordarshan National, which owns the copyright to the show has uploaded the entire run of the show on their YouTube Channel (along with a lot of other shows as well from their golden days). This was an awesome find and over the next few days I am going to rewatch the entire series and confirm if my memory of the show is accurate. (I last watched it when I was ~13)<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough I have met the actor Rajit Kapur who plays Byomkesh Bakshi a few years ago and he was extremely polite and considerate of the fans. <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Byomkesh Bakshi: Ep#1- Satyanveshi\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpdo8t2F8cQ?list=PLUiMfS6qzIMxiHu2N2Px1ISp5vxCm3PMo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you have not seen the show, I highly recommend you watch it. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Byomkesh Bakshi was one of my favorite Detective TV shows when I was a kid.
