- Das cared for stray dogs for over 35 years, using his own money
In the busy streets of Kolkata, a 73-year-old man is seen doing something very special. Subrata Das plays the keyboard and mouth organ every day, not to earn money for himself, but to feed stray dogs. His story was shared on Instagram by Aradhana Chatterjee, who said she was moved by his kindness. He has been caring for stray dogs for more than 35 years, spending his own money to make sure they get food.

Chatterjee explained that Subrata Das spends around 500 rupees daily feeding these animals. He used to drive an auto-rickshaw for a living, but now, due to his age, that's no longer possible. So, he now plays music on the streets and uses whatever earnings he makes to help the dogs.
Subrata Das was estranged from his family. He learned music as a child, and today, that art helps him serve animals. Chatterjee explained that he is a living example of the power of kindness. He also said that even a small amount of help can help further his mission, and social media can help him reach more people.
Aradhana mentioned in her post, "Maybe nothing is impossible when you really want to do it. Subrata Das proves it!"
According to Aradhana, Subrata Das plays music every day from 8 am to 10:30 am in front of Lake Mall, Lake Market, and Rashbehari in Kolkata.
