LEADERS OF THE FREEDOM MOVEMENT ... 1 (BAGHA JATIN/JATINDRANATH MUKHERJEE)

Inspired by Swami Vivekananda, he was a veritable lion among men who attempted to overthrow the British in an armed insurrection at the height of the First World War. Betrayal as usual put paid to their dreams of delivering the motherland from the shackles of colonial bondage and the lions fells in an open armed battle, an unequal gunfight in which Jatin Mukherjeee was seriously wounded and died subsequently in Balasore hospital. The date --- 10 September, 1915. Bagha jatin was the precursor to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in open armed revolution against the British Crown.
