Chowdhury was a prodigiously talented Bengali composer who successfully made the leap to Bollywood in the 1950s. This composer's ethics were deeply rooted in his experience as a Bengali growing up under British rule. Chowdhury's father was a doctor who served laborers who worked in the famed Assam tea fields. Chowdhury's father once punched a British officer who used a racist epithet. He took out three of the guy's teeth. Chowdhury's body of work is known as "Salil sangeet" in Bengal; he composed many classic resistence songs.
