Partition of India by Britain and sectarian violence among Hindu-Moslem forced Shukdeb Sen to flee from his birth place Khulna, Bangladesh and settle in Calcutta, India. These tragic experiences made him a loner, and writing became a refuge and a safe world, where his creative mind could flourish. He published many poems in Bengali journals in Calcutta. He studied biological sciences at City College, Presidency College and Ballygunge Science College affiliated with Calcutta University. Then moved to the USA to study Plant Physiology and Cell Biology, and earned a master's and a doctoral degree. During the last three decades, he has been teaching, mentoring and conducting research in academia, and published many scientific articles in Europe and the USA. Last five years, Shukdeb Sen devoted his time to his passion for creative writing and published three books: Black Education in White America (non-fiction), Flower Still Blooms (fiction, a collection of short stories), and If Life Was a Dream (Poetry). As of this writing, he has completed another short story collection titled America in the Year 2048 and Other Stories. Innocence is his debut novel.
