Upon the blood of 14 year old lads do we enjoy our freedom today. Shame on those who merely intellectualise the freedom movement and give Gandhi all the credit. Shame! The Chittagong Armoury Raid, despite being dubbed in history as revolutionary terrorism, nonetheless, succeeded in liberating Chittagong for three days from the British Raj and was, in that sense, the precursor to the final thrust of the INA against the barbarous British who had no right under the sun to be in our land for any conceivable reason save those of pilferage, pillaging and plundering our wealth in the name of high-sounding civilisation, a loot that built Britain's much-vaunted civilisation and a plunder that was redolent of their savage past when their forefathers painted themselves in blue and lived in forests like brutes.
Masterda Surya Sen and his comrades-in-arms should be nationally acclaimed as heroes if this nation wishes to ever rise to self-consciousness and a pride in its true heritage of the freedom struggle. An emasculate nation fed on falsities and fabrications, historical half-truths dished out by hired historians and heartless intellectuals who feel not for the spilled blood of the martyrs, of the cries of the molested girls in British-India jails and of the silent tears shed by bereaved wives and mothers whose every drop reacted as terrible curse on the British Raj to evict them from our soil. In the womb of afflicted Indian motherhood were born the heroes who finally threw off the British yoke only to be relegated to the back pages of history in a final act of perfidy by liberated India, an instance unparalleled in the history of nations from time immemorial. Let us redress the balance and set the records straight. So help me friends, so help me O God of India's destiny, Bharatabhagyavidhata! Jai Hind!
