Soumendranath Tagore (1910–1974), son of Sudhindranath Tagore and grandson of Dwijendranath Tagore, was a great orator. He was a name to reckon with in the cultural arena in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] He was associated with the communist movement from his younger days.[2] Soumendranath Tagore married Srimati Hutheesingh from an aristocratic Jain Gujarati family of Ahmedabad. She was a student in Shantiniketan and a well known dancer and choreographer who took training in dance in India and abroad. Srimati Tagore's brother Raj N Hutheesingh married Krishna Nehru, younger daughter of Motilal Nehru and sister of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
