About Atul Prasad Sen

Atul Prasad Sen (Bengali: অতুলপ্রসাদ সেন; 20 October 1871 – 26 August 1934) was a Bengali composer, lyricist, singer, writer, lawyer, philanthropist and educationist. == Early life == Atul Prasad Sen was born as the eldest child of Ram Prasad Sen and Hemanta Shashi, in a Vaidya family from the village of Magor in South Bikrampur, Faridpur District, presently located in Bangladesh. Atul was born in his maternal uncle's house in Dhaka, following the custom at that time. His maternal grandfather, Kali Narayan Gupta, initiated Atul Prasad into music and devotional songs. Atul Prasad's mother later married Brahmo Samaj reformer Durga Mohan Das in June 1890. Initially Atul Prasad could not accept this marriage. In time, his relationship became very congenial with Durga Mohan and Hemanta Shashi. Sarala Devi recounted in her diary জীবনের ঝরাপাতা (fallen leaves of life) that Durga Mohan, after the death of his wife Brahmoamoyee, in spite of his busy outward life, took great care of his children. It was his elder daughter, Abala, whose eager and consistent effort towards the wellbeing of her aging father convinced Durga Mohan to marry Hemanta Shashi. Durga Mohan extended every possible care to his stepchildren too, and treated them as his own children.
