==Biography==
Santidev Ghosh was born on 24 Baisakh 1317 (7 May 1910) in the village of Bajapti near Chandpur. At that time, it was part of the [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|British-controlled areas of India]] and of the province of East Bengal. Today, it is in [[Bangladesh]].

His father was Kalimohan Ghosh, who worked with [[Rabindranath Tagore]] from before Santidev Ghosh was born, and was closely associated in the setting up the Rural Reconstruction Unit at [[Visva-Bharati]]. His mother was Monorama Devi. Originally, Tagore took Kalimohan to work on rural reconstruction programs in the Tagore estates in Silaidah, today's Bangladesh. Later, Kalimohan was brought by Rabindranath Tagore to Santiniketan, to work on similar scheme of rural reconstruction at Sriniketan, adjacent to [[Santiniketan]]. Kalimohan brought his six-month-old son, then named Santimoy (meaning peaceful) Ghosh, to Tagore. Tagore changed the middle part of his name, so his first name would be Santidev (meaning Lord of peace), which became Ghosh's common first name.

Santidev had his school education at the Santiniketan Ashrama Vidyalaya, which Tagore had founded in 1901. This is where he acquired proficiency in music, dance and acting under the direct guidance of the poet himself and Dinendranath. As Tagore's emissary, he visited [[Sri Lanka]], [[Burma]] and [[Java]] and [[Bali]], in today's [[Indonesia]] to learn music and dance of neighbouring countries.
