Bangladesh has been host and home to some of the world’s most famous people. Apart from a historical figure, Satyen Sen was a novelist, journalist, historian and politician who was born on 28th March 1907 in Munshiganj.

by Anwar A. Khan writes from Dhaka-

“A people without the knowledge of their past history,
origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” – Marcus Garvey
( October 17, 2017, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) Bangladesh has an age-old cultural heritage. Its culture has largely been influenced by its past. For centuries, Bangladesh has been synonymous with music and was home to Satyen Sen like many more cultural figures of or relating to the shared knowledge and values of a society. This outstanding cultural heritage has been preserved right to the present day. The country is proud of an outstanding literary tradition with a special focus on theatre, art, novel, poem and dramatic literature. It is a country of full of life and history, has cultivated itself through many eras and embodies the very definition of culture; and the tending of natural growth. Satyen Sen had the power of personal magnetism; a personal attractiveness or interestingness that enables to influence others. He is a Bangladesh’s cultural personality – the complex of all the attributes–behavioural, temperamental, emotional and mental–that characterise a unique individual and Sen personifies all such attributes.
