    Though interested in revolutionary activities from early on in his life, he left Bengal to shun the Alipore bomb case trials of (1908). At Dehradun he worked as a head clerk at the Forest Research Institute. There, through Amarendra Chatterjee of the Jugantar led by Jatin Mukherjee (Bagha Jatin), he secretly got involved with the revolutionaries of Bengal and, thanks to Jatindra Nath Banerjee alias Niralamba Swami, the earliest political disciple of Sri Aurobindo, he came across eminent revolutionary members of the Arya Samaj in the United Provinces (currently Uttar Pradesh) and the Punjab. Originally Rash Behari Bose was born and lived in Chandannagar, Hooghly, West Bengal.

    Following the attempt to assassinate Lord Hardinge, Rash Behari was forced to go into hiding. The attempt was made on 12 December 1912 after Lord Hardinge was returning form the Delhi Darbar of King George V. HE was attacked by Vasant Kumar Vishwas a disciple of Amrendar Chattarjee, but he missed the target and failed. Bose was hunted by the colonial police due to his active pa

    A Historical Defense for Citizenship Amendment Bill- Hindu Bengal’s contribution to India

    Introduction

    We had argued the civilizational, demographic and moral necessity of the Citizenship Amendment Bill a few weeks back [36]. Subsequently, entire Indian polity colluded to kill the bill. Traditionally anti-Hindu parties like Congress, TMC, CPIM had always opposed the bill. The BJP’s tactics had however been more sophisticated. It had passed the bill in the Lok Sabha, where it had a majority. This created the ground for placing it in the Rajya Sabha, which it refused to do despite explicit promises by the BJP in its pre-LS 2014 manifesto, and implicit promises by the PM in various recent public rallies in Assam and Bengal. Not placing the bill in the Rajya Sabha let it lapse, which a defeat in the Rajya Sabha would not have. To make electoral hay from the bill, BJP President had now promised to add it to the 2019 LS manifesto [37]. The continued deceit aside, we resume our defense of the bill, now appealing to the history of the Indian nation.

    Let us first recall what a nation constitutes: Abhas Chatterji has defined “a nation never means a land as such. A nation indicates a group or a community of people which has been traditionally living in a particular land, which has its own distinctive culture, and which has an identity separate from other peoples of the world by virtue of the distinctiveness of its culture. The cultural distinctiveness of a nation may be based on its race, or religion, or language, or a combination of some or all of these factors, but all-in-all there has to be a distinct culture which will mark the nation out from peoples belonging to other lands. Third, there may be internal differences in several respects among the people belonging to this culture, but in spite of these differences there is an overall sense of harmony born out of the fundamental elements of their culture, and a sense of pride which inspires in them a desire to maint

    • Ever since Narendra Modi took over Prime Minister’s office, the whole nation has been eagerly waiting for the release of declassified files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and to get first hand information of his ‘disappearance’ after Taihoku plane crash. Incidentally, we often forget the contribution of the 'other' Bose, Rash Behari Bose, who actually paved the path for Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in his journey with the Indian National Army (INA).Rash Behari Bose was not just another Indian revolutionary, but a symbol of hope against all odds. His whole life was devoted to India’s struggle for freedom. His iconic dialogue still reverberates in the pages of history, "Gandhi is a person whom I respect but he is an Indian saint and 'a person of yesterday' whereas Subhas Chandra Bose is the 'person of today'."

    Rash Behari Bose was brought up in a mixed culture in Chandernagore in Bengal with substantial British and French influence. Born in the late 80's of the nineteenth century, he lost his mother early and his maternal aunt Vama Sundari raised him. He was deeply influenced by writings of eminent Bengali novelists Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Navin Sen and others. He was moved by the speeches of Swami Vivekananda, Surendra Nath Bonerjea and patriotism was deeply ingrained in him. When he read details on the French revolution of 1789, he was excited by the possibility of such change in his own motherland. He frequently changed jobs. He joined Fort William in the beginning, from where he was transferred to the Government Press in Simla. His command over english language and type writing skills improved a lot in this phase. Later he shifted to Pasteur Institute in Kasauli. Finally he became a Head Clerk at the Dehra Dun Forest Research Institute. However his heart was in none of these conventional jobs.

    Early Life of Rash Behari Bose

    Rash Behari Bose was born on May 25, 1886, in village Subaldaha, Bardhaman district, in the province of Bengal. His mother passed away in 1889 when Rash Behari was still a baby. He was brought up thereafter by his maternal aunt Vama Sundari.

    Rash Behari Bose was initially educated at Subaldaha under the supervision of his grandfather, Kalicharan, and later in Dupleix College at Chandernagore. At the time Chandernagore was under French rule thus, Rash Behari was influenced by both British and French culture. The French Revolution of 1789 had a deep impact on Rash Behari. Rash Behari Bose was not a very attentive student. He was a day-dreamer, his mind preoccupied with revolutionary ideas. He was more interested in his physical prowess than his studies.

    Roots of the Patriotism in Rash Behari Bose

    Rash Behari Bose got hold of a well-known revolutionary novel called “Ananda Math (Abbey of Bliss)” written by noted Bengali novelist, poet and thinker, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. Rash Behari also read the famous Bengali poet, Navin Sen’s, Plasir Yudha, a collection of patriotic poems. In course of time he read other revolutionary books. He read nationalistic speeches by orator and revolutionary, Surendranath Banerjea, and Swami Vivekananda. In Chandernagore, his teacher Charu Chand, a man of radical ideas, inspired Rash Behari along revolutionary lines.

    Rash Behari Bose did not get a chance to complete college because his uncle got him a job at Fort William. From there he transferred to the Government press in Shi
