Kolkata Man Plays Music to Feed Stray Dogs Daily

On the busy streets of Kolkata, a 73-year-old man named Subrata Das is making a difference in the lives of stray animals. For over 35 years, Das has been caring for and feeding the city's homeless dogs, using his own money to provide for their needs.

Recently, Das's story was shared on Instagram by Aradhana Chatterjee, who was moved by his selfless acts of kindness. Due to his advanced age, Das can no longer work as an auto-rickshaw driver, his previous profession. Instead, he now plays the keyboard and mouth organ on the streets, using the earnings from his music to purchase food for the stray dogs.

According to Chatterjee, Das spends around 500 rupees each day to ensure the animals are fed. Despite being estranged from his own family, Das has found purpose in serving these creatures, demonstrating the power of compassion. Chatterjee's post has gone viral, with many people expressing a desire to contribute to Das's mission and help him reach more people through social media.
