405. Corny Beginnings?

His remains were relinquished to an unmarked grave in Kolkata, India, until the fact was unearthed by a keen eyed researcher only a few years ago.  He is probably the reason why many in India have to partake of  a portion of their yearly earnings to the government exchequer, though that is probably the least known fact about him. Something that he established in the 19th century had a rather corny inspiration but continues to thrive in the modern age today and in 2007, started publishing a lifestyle focused spin-off, named after the year of its (the 19th century something's, not the spin-off's) own birth.

Who was this champion of free-trade? What did he establish? When?
