Sri Samir Das came to Tripura in the year 1955 and got admission in M.B.B.College, Agartala as a student of 3^rd year. He was a charming person at that time and even at this age he looks lively and enthusiastic. He always has an immense love for Rabindrasangeet. At his arrival to Agartala, Sri Das got a huge popularity in the field of light-music. He has had a beautiful expression in his singing. Even now he is holding that life, boldness and melody in his singing.

During his young age Samir Das and a group of his friends used to organize various cultural functions and Sri Das used to be one of the leading singers of those functions. At that time he used to sing all types of light melodies. Gradually, he became tilted towards Rabindrasangeet. He never imitated any famous Rabindrasangeet artist. He has created his own style of singing Tagore’s songs. As per his statement, he used to listen to the songs sung by famous Rabindrasangeet artists, but never copied them. His style of songs has really enriched the subtleness and mood of Rabindrasangeet.
