Sachindranath Sanyal – The Freedom Fighter Who Was Imprisoned @CellularJail, TWICE & Founder of Hindustan Republic Association.
Before going further, let us question why so called historians made Bhagath famous, but not his mentor?
Well, the answer is Sanyal also wrote Mercy

Petitions & which was common.

His autobiography “BANDI JEEVAN” gives you many incidents which were otherwise hidden from Distorians.

Sachindranath was born at Varanasi on April 03,1893.
At a young age, Sachindra Nath took a vow to liberate the motherland from the clutches of

the British rule. He had stated: “When I was a child, I had taken a pledge due to various reasons that India needs to be liberated, for that, I will have to plan my life strategically”. Determined to fight the oppressive British rule, he started participating in revolutionary

activities from a young age.
In 1913, when he was just 20 years old, he opened a chapter of the revolutionary organization ‘Anushlian Samiti’ in Benaras. He used to organize fitness activities and motivate youth to fight for the motherland.
It was 1915, Sachindra Nath and Rash

Bihari Bose were involved the Ghadar Party’s armed rebellion plan to overthrow British rule. Sanyal trained the youth in revolutionary tactics and prepared them for the uprising. But to their misfortune, their plan was leaked to the British and led to the arrest of Sachindra

whereras Rash Bihari Bose escaped to Japan, at that time, Sachindranath Sanyal was considered the senior-most leader of India’s revolutionary movement.
Sachindra was sentenced to life and deported to the Cellular Jail of Andaman for his involvement in the Benaras Conspiracy; his

house was also confiscated by the British.

On August 18, 1916, Sachindra reached Cellular Jail, and like many other prisoners, was subjected to cruel treatment which eventually took a toll on his health.

In 1920 in the wake of the victory of Britain and its allies in the WW1

the British had freed many prisoners, among them was also Sachindra Nath.
(Note that they all wrote Mercy Petitions, All Political Prisoners Were Released Except Savarkar Brothers)
The harrowing time spent at the Cellular Jail did not break the spirit of Sachindra Nath and as

advised by Savarkar, he continued with his revolutionary ways. He co-founded the Hindustan Republican Association which was later renamed to Hindustan Socialist Republican Association & mentored great freedom fighters such as Bhagat, Sukhdev, Bhagwati Charan Vohra among others.

Sachindra Nath was arrested again in 1924 for what was considered as a provocative speech against the government. He was sent for the second time to the Cellular Jail for his involvement in the Kakori raid.
This time his stay was longer, and he was once again subjected to

cruel treatment, which took a huge toll on his health. He had contracted Tuberculosis & was released from Jail due to his deteriorating health condition in 1937. However, this was not the end of his jail confinement as Sachindra continued to participate in the freedom struggle.

He was again imprisoned in Rajasthan in 1939 and in Uttar Pradesh in 1942. He was later moved to Gorakhpur jail where he succumbed to TB and joined Eshwara's feet on February 6, 1943.

The countless sacrifices made by freedom fighters like him have paved the way for India’s

freedom and not just 2 individuals as portrayed.
#SachindraNathSanyal strove till his last breath to fulfil the vow he had taken to free Bharath from foreign yoke & today hardly anybody remember him.

#VANDEMATARAM

One of the hardcore nationalist @sanjeevsanyal is grandson of Sachindranath Sanyal.

Sachindra writes that he is afraid that contribution of revolutionaries in freedom movement will be erased & hence writing the autobiography.
