Grandfather: Krishnadas Chandra was the founder-editor of a well circulated Bengali literary magazine “Archana Patrika” published during 1904-1960 in association with Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore. The patrika was so glorious that the British Government had set up a separate post office (Archana Post Office) named after the said patrika which was then the only instance all over India.

Maternal Grandfather: Gupinath Dutta was a freedom fighter and a leader of Indian National Congress during the pre-independence period who endured great hardship including being sent to jail several times during the British regime for his outstanding role in India’s struggle for independence.
