Rajanikanta Sen - a Bengali poet, lyricist, and singer, known for his devotional (bhakti) compositions, as well as his patriotic songs. He was born in the village of Bhangabari in pabna. His father was Guruprasad Sen. Rajanikanta was the author of Pathachintamani, a book of kirtan, and Abhay Bihar, a book of lyrical poems. He was tutored by his father in music from childhood. After obtaining his BA and BL (1891) degrees from Calcutta City College, he began to practice law at Rajshahi.
Sen got interested in music from his friend in Bhangabari. He was fluent in writing poems in Bengali and Sanskrit from childhood. He started composing music for his poems and singing those along with playing musical instruments later. Rajanikanta Sen began his career as a munsif of Natore and Naogaon sub-divisions but soon he left the judicial career for full-time writing and other cultural activities. He demonstrated his poetic genius at a very early age by composing songs on goddess Kali. He used to sing his own songs often at the house of Akshay Kumar Maitreya. The monthly Utsaha used to publish his writings. Devotional and patriotic themes made the main basis of his poems and songs. Of course, he also composed love songs and satirical verses. One of his songs composed during the swadeshi movement, Mayer deoya mota kapad mathay tule nere bhai (Revere the coarse cloth spun in your motherland), became very popular."
