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
