History of a Piano !

It was the first Congress President Umesh Ch. Banerjee who

 gifted the Piano to his daughter Janaki Devi .The maker was

the famous 'John Broadwood & Sons' of London.It reached 

her in-laws house at Islampur and stayed there. The owners

(Mazumdar)  sold the ancestral  house and moved to Kalyani.

The piano,however, was left behind.At present it is owned by

one Narayan Das. Prabir Krishna Mazumdar (grandson of

Janaki Devi ) believes that The National Congress Party should

take initiative to preserve it ! ( Source-ABP report dt.30/12/12)
