On 18 April 1930, young revolutionaries in Bengal (including Preetilata Waddedar and Kalapana Dutt) led by Surya Sen (Masterda = teacher,sir) attacked and burned down the British Armoury in Chittagong (modern Bangladesh). They fought a heroic battle on the hills of Jalalabad where twelve revolutionaries were killed. On 23 September 1932, Surya Sen masterminded an successful attack on the European Club in Chittagong , which displayed a nefarious sign: Dogs and Indians not allowed. Surya Sen and his 64 comrades got busy collecting arms. As a consequence of untiring efforts of six months they could collect only 14 rifles. Surya Sen was finally captured on 17 February 1933 and hanged in Chittagong Jail on 8th January, 1934. |
