BENGALI FREEDOM FIGHTERS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE

BENGALI FREEDOM FIGHTERS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE

Over the course of Indian history, there are so many foreign invasions India has faced time to time. Be it the Hun or Shok or Mughals or Afghans, while in case of all of them, the idea behind invading the country for expanding their dynasty, was pretty clear and loudly declared about from the very first, but in case of the British, it started everything by entering the country with only the intention of expanding their business over the East. What started as a harmless venture of the East India Company, paved its path and leads the country towards 200 years of entanglement and enslavement under the British Raj. The East India Company has landed the coast of Bengal (Namely “sutanuti”, “Gobindopur”, and “Kolkata” ) a few years after it first achieved a major victory over the Portuguese in the Battle of Swalty in 1916, in Suvali, Surat ( now in Gujrat). From early 1750, which started as normal business expansion, converted to a whole new angle and the company started interfering with the internal matters of the country. The first official protest against this gesture came from the land of Bengal, when the Nawab of Murshidabad, “ Shiraz-ud-Daulla”, first declared war against the British on 1757, /known as the “Battle of Palassy”. Though after the major win in this battle, the Britishers started transforming from traders to rulers; but officially this battle is considered as the first organized protest the nation witnessed. Before that, India was a mere commemoration of several independent states, but the notion of universal brotherhood started after this battle, which finds its stronghold after the “Sepoy Mutiny” in 1857. But this idea about the Nation-state does not perceive overnight. It takes sacrifices from so many people, who devoted their lives to the nation and put everything in stake, for the Independence Movement. And we called them freedom fighters. As I mentioned earlier, that Bengal has laid the first stone towards the independence movement, but with times there come so many young minds from the state, which makes the foundation stronger and let the British realize the cost of ruling this country. The very few of those thousands of brave souls are mentioned below, who had played a significant role in the freedom movement and attacks the British Raj to its core-

BINOY- BADAL- DINESH: three friends, three young minds, Binoy Basu, Badal Gupta, and Dinesh Gupta, from the city of Calcutta, took camouflage and enters the British Administrative Headquarters of that time; Writers’ Building in Dalhousie Square, Kolkata, to shot the Inspector General of prison, General N.S Simpson, on the balcony of the building. Though three of them was captured and then shot at the same time in the same building, but they did succeed in their mission and the entire scenario shook the British Administration to a great extent.

MASTERDA SURJA SEN: following the increase in the British brutality all over the country, especially after the “Jalianwalabagh Massacre” in 1919, the Indian freedom struggle takes a revolutionary stand around Punjab, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Bengal. One of the famous names, which took part in that Revolution is of “ Masterda Surja Sen”, a former school teacher, who gets involved in different Anti-British movements across Chittagong and then get arrested for two years ( 1926 to 1928). After realizing form the jail, he planned the two major rebellion against the British Raj to face them directly on an open battle, by capturing two of the biggest armories of that time in Chittagong ( now in Bangladesh). Though he partially succeeded in his mission and could not capture the arms and ammunition, this was one of the significant events, after which the Freedom movement takes a new turn.

NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE: undoubtedly the most renowned name in the history of Indian Independence movement, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose started his journey as a freedom fighter from a very young age. Though he was one of the early members of the Indian National Congress, due to some fundamental differences, he left INC and founded his very own Forward Block. He was very few of the activists that time who defy the Gandhi’s “Ahimsa” policies and founded his own army to led attack on the British Raj. To escalate his cause and to seek the help he even traveled to Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and to even Imperial Japan as well. Though his army manages to invade the Northeast of the Country but was unable to achieve the ends he was dreamt of. but his contributions towards the freedom movement was unforgettable by all means. Though only 3 of the thousands were discussed above, names like Khudiram Basu, Chittaranjan Das, Matangini Hazra, Bina Das, Prafulla Chaki and many more cannot be forgotten. And all of their contribution to the freedom movement also helps to escalate the entire movement to a great level.
