After seeing the interview of Binod Bihari Chowdhury, participant in the Chittagong Armoury Raid, I hang my head in shame as a mere caricature of a patriot and all others with it who are today clamouring in the name of so-called nationalism. The austere simplicity, the spirit of sacrifice, courage of conviction and strength of character along with deep reserves of feeling for the motherland that are easily evident in this centenarian revolutionary even through the medium of celluloid makes me wonder what material these men were made of who dared the British eye to eye and ousted them from Chittagong for that fateful week dated 18-25 April, 1930.
