Sailen Roy

Kazi Nazrul Islam had invited him to Kolkata after hearing his recital. That's how Sailen Roy landed in Kolkata in 1926 from Coochbehar. First, he put up in a Sealdah messing accommodation. Then, he stayed at various places in Chowdhury Lane, Jamini Kabiraj Lane, Nyayratna Lane before permanently settling down in Hemantakumari Street. The plaque mentioning his name still remains there.
