with his parents, two brothers and sisters from Mymensingha, the place of arts and literature. His village
name was Gachihata.
There were three times of Bengal partitions. First was in 1905 by Lord Curzon and in 1947 following Radcliffe line. Third was in 1971 during the period of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Indira Gandhi.
Possibly he came to West Bengal in 1947. Like other migrants he was penniless. He had lost own properties in then East Bengal like others. He studied Commerce staying in a mess. Though he liked History very much as I observed from his collections. Poverty attacked him like other migrants. He managed education through paper distribution and writing on some daily newspaper using pseudoname as freelance writer.
My father was good orator and teacher. He was influenced by then communism. Later he was principal of one commercial college close to Sealdaha Rail station. It seems to be George Telegraph. He was good student in commerce. He was typist and shorthand specialist.
He knew the Educational pain in poverty. He always thought of others. He wanted dissemination of his knowledge for career development of others. So he started one Institute for typing and shorthand nearby Prachi cinema hall in Kolkata. I was fortunate in learning typing and shorthand at this Institute but he could not see as he passed away when I was one or two months old.
His marriage was just like story. My mother was metron of B. R. Singh hospital. She rescued my father from Morgue. She was Christian. My Grandfather was conservative Hindu but he gladly accepted my mother. To me, my mother was saviour. She nursed my father like other patients. She was dominant and confident in her nursing. So when he didn't find my father on bed and knew that the dead body was shifted to the morgue, she could not believe. Finally he brought declared dead body and gave life. My Grandfather addressed my mother 'Sabitri' following the mythology of Sabitri and Satyaban.
My Grandfather Late Nishi Bhushan Dutta Roy was writer but he wrote about religious issues. He wrote one book ' 'Mayur Mukut Lila Mrito'. He roamed around Himalayas met many sages and spent life as sage. In this book he described his religious life. My Grand mother was close relative of Late Upendra Kishore Roy Choudhury, father of late Satyajit Roy.
