Mamababu is a mid-aged person, who used to live in Burma (Now Myanmar) for service purpose. His original name has never been said by the writer although in different stories he has sometimes been addressed as Mr. Roy, sometimes Mr. Sen and sometimes Mr. Hazra. In all the expeditions he has always been accompanied by his nephew Mr. Sen, who narrates all the stories. Mr. Sen is also known to his pen-name Ganapati Hazra. With this name he used to publish all the stories of Mamababu. From his narratives, it has been found that Mamababu seems to be an ordinary Bengali gentleman with an average look. After completing studies in Mining, he took a job of prospector in the jungles of Burma. He was a great mineralogist and was very keen in finding new animal species. His expeditions were mainly carried out throughout Burma and adjacent countries. He had a trusted Burmese servant Mongpo who also took part in most of the expeditions.

Legendary Satyajit Ray made the cover of the second story “Dragoner Nishwas”, which was published from Signet press in 1948. The expedition stories of Mamababu evoked a lot of excitement in the minds of teenage readers. Each story of Mamababu is different from others for the dramatic twist which proves the uniqueness of Premendra Mitra.
