This gallant reporter of freedom struggle was born on 1 January 1885 in Soroda village of Ganjam district. He completed his primary education in Rasalkonda Board school and thereafter studied upto his lower secondary school there. After completing his studies there he moved on to Parlakhemindi. From there he went to Bombay and learnt Gujrati there. Thereafter he moved to Pune and served in a leather industry there where he learnt skinning. But he could not stay there for long and had to come back to Odisha. For some time he worked in Utkal Tannery, but then left for Kolkata where he organized the Odias.
After he returned from Kolkata he started a newspaper ‘Asha’ in Berhampur which became a daily newspaper in 1928. As he was covering the news about civil disobedience and salt satyagraha regularly and abetted the salt satyagraha in Ganjam district he was arrested in 1930 but was released in 1931.
In 1936, a book ‘Kali Bhagabat’ written by Abhiram Paramhansha was printed in his ‘Asha Press’ which has a nationalistic tone. The book was therefore proscribed and its author was arrested. In this case Sashibhusan also became a co-accused for which he had to spend a lot of money for legal expenses.
Though his newspaper regularly covered the matters pertaining to freedom struggle he however fell ill after 1936 for which he could not keep himself in active politics. He died on 20 March 1943 at the age of 58 only.
