A poem was written by Bijay Kant Dubey on him-
Amartya Sen
Rather than your personal life
Punctuated by the arrival of three ladies,
Nanabaneeta Dev Sen
But the marriage broke as for your departure to foreign
And thereafter married you Eva Colorni in 1973
But she passed away untimely
And finally turned you to Rothschild
And the rest I do not know
And from Nabaneeta you had two daughters,
Namely, Antara and Nandana
And from Colorni who died of cancer,
Two children, Indrani and Kabir
And from Rothschild,
I do not know it all.
The credit also goes to those
Who made him the professor and head
Of the department of economics
At a very young age
And to your teachers
Who recognized and supported you
