(March 2010) Renuka Dasgupta nee Sengupta(B : 22 Aug 1910 Konnagar, WB D: 1 Jan 1991, Calcutta,WB ) was a Bengali singer, considered one of the best-known exponents of the songs of Atulprasad Sen. She was amongst the few singers to learn directly from Atulprasad Sen and Dilipkumar Roy. In 1932, three Indian recording companies were born in Calcutta out of a nationalistic urge to compete with the British-owned Gramophone company of India. One of these was Hindusthan Records. The owner C.C.Saha requested Rabindranath Tagore to record some songs and recitations. From those recordings was published the first record H1. Atulprasad Sen recorded two songs which were published in the second record H2. The third record H3 had the songs 'Jodi gokulachandra braje na elo' (kirtan) and 'Pagla montare tui bandh' (Atulprasad) sung by Renuka Sengupta. Sale for this record reached an unprecedented high mark, such was the popularity of these songs. Contrary to popular, belief "Jodi gokulachandra braje na elo" is not written by Atul Prasad Sen. She was also trained by Kazi Nazrul Islam - recorded 2 songs under his tutelage, Krishna Chandra Dey - the recorded song was "Aye Bhikharin Premnagar ke pritam pritem bole". She also has 5 Rabindra Sangeets to her credit.Her repertoire ranged from AtulPrasad, Rabindrasangeet, Nazrulgeeti, Bhajan, Kirtan, Shyamasangeet to even Bhatiali. Born in Konnagar, West Bengal Renuka Dasgupta lived in Gaya till the age of 5. Her family then moved to Tikatuli, Dhaka where she remained based till her marriage to Hirendra Chandra Dasgupta a graduate engineer of BE College, Shibpur in the early 1930's. Post marriage she moved and settled permanently in Calcutta. She had 2 children. She was a cousin of Shahana Devi, Atul Prasad Sen, Kanak Das(Biswas). Renuka Dasgupta taught Music in Kamrunnesa Girls School at Tikatuli, Dhaka in the late 1920's. She also owned and managed a small civil engineering firm for 3 decades. It is a pity that through biographers' efforts, the performers who inspired Albert Einstein are well-known, but people have forgotten this singer who inspired the two greatest physicists of Bengal, Meghnad Saha and Satyendranath Bose.
