Sen’s signature is Love & Courage, and so is it the name of his home atelier. He says, “With Love you can destroy jealousy, hate and crime to see the world in a fresh, positive and philosophical way. With Courage, you can step forward with focused hard work to overcome any obstacle in life, and aspire to make the sky the limit.”

INDIA’S BLOODY INDEPENDENCEIN 1947

When India was partitioned 1947 to create Pakistan, a new country for Muslims, about 20 million people of Bengal and Punjab were displaced and brutally victimized. Sen’s wealthy, literate family had huge landed property in erstwhile East Bengal, the present Bangladesh, which was carved out to be East Pakistan for Muslims. So for being Hindus Sen’s family was overnight evicted from their home. Without taking any possessions, they fled for their lives amidst people warring over religion, and so became squatted refugees in West Bengal.
