#PrafullaChaki.

#SmaranDivas
He was not even 20 when he decided to take his own life rather than getting surrendered to British.

Prafulla Chaki, born on 10th December 1888 in Bogra district (now in Bangladesh). A staunch revolutionary in spirit, Chaki participated in
demonstrations against British and got expelled in class 9. Later, in his schooling in Rangpur National School, he came in touch with other revolutionaries, and grew as one.

Barin Ghosh brought Prafulla to Kolkata and he was enlisted in the Jugantar party.
Prafulla, along with
Khudiram Bose was chosen for the assassination of Kingsford, the magistrate of Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Kingsford, during his previous tenure as the Chief Presidency Magistrate of Calcutta, was unpopular for passing harsh and cruel sentences on young political workers of Bengal.
He was also noted for inflicting corporal punishments on such workers. This led to the planning of his murder, and Chaki and Bose were selected and sent to Muzaffarpur to execute this task.
Prafulla took the fake name of 'Dinesh Chandra Roy' in this operation.
On the evening
of 30 April 1908, the duo was waiting in front of the gate of European Club for Kingsford's carriage to arrive. When a vehicle came out of the gate, a bomb was thrown into the carriage.

There was a mistake towards identification by them, as the vehicle was not carrying
Kingsford, but wife and daughter of Mr Pringle Kennedy, a leading pleader at Muzaffarpur Bar. The daughter died soon after and his wife succumbed to her injuries.

Prafulla and Khudiram took separate routes to escape. Prafulla reached Samastipur where he was provided shelter by
a railway staff member, Triguna Charan Ghosh. Ghosh also provided him with an inter-class ticket for boarding the night train due for Mokama.

Nandalal Banerjee, a police officer travelling in the same compartment grew suspicious of Prafulla and attempted to arrest him on the
Mokama railway station platform.
But Prafulla committed suicide by shooting himself using his own revolver & this was on May 02-1908.

What Happened Later?

Revenge was taken on inspector Nandalal. He was assassinated by two young revolutionaries, Srishh Pal and Ranen Ganguly.
MKG gave this statement that
"Indian people will not win their freedom through these methods".
Remember Friends, this happened in 1908 when Gandhi was in Africa... It took another 8 years for him to come to India & join freedom movement.

However, Bal Gangadhar Tilak in his
newspaper Kesari, defended the two young men and called for immediate swaraj. This was followed by the immediate arrest of Tilak by the British colonial government on charges of sedition.

Khudiram Bose was captured & hanged.

For 50 years, from 1943, this man did nothing except bringing back the forgotten past of HINDU CIVILIZATION.

Bharat buried under the colonial past.
Perhaps, no other archaeologist can contribute as Prof B B Lal has done for Bharat.
Will explain, read on.

Remembering on his Jayanti, the person behind world renowned #MANIPAL Group, Dr Tonse Madhava Anant Pai/ TMA Pai.
Let me tell you how a Registered Medical Practitioner built a Mighty Bank, World Class Health Care System and Renowned University.
Born in the year 1898, Dr TMA Pai,
then a young doctor graduated from Madras Medical College, stayed back to set up Udupi’s first Allopathic clinic. Dr TMA Pai had expressed a desire to go to Hong Kong when his mother advised him to set up a practice at Udupi. “Jait-amma”– that’s all he said.
According to Prof Kamath , it is at this psychological point in time that Manipal was born. The above narrative is from former Chairman of Prasar Bharati, Prof M V Kamath, the Kamath’s & Pai’s are friends for generations.
Pai, started a bank, along with his brother, Upendra Pai

Beijing got what it wanted: the omission of Demchok pass in the Treaty, (leaving the door of Aksai Chin open), the removal of the last Indian jawans from Tibet, the surrender of Indian telegraphic lines and guest houses, but first and foremost the Indian stamp of approval on
their occupation of Tibet.
The Nehru Government through this exchange handed over all advantages accrued from the Simla Convention. India would not ask for nor get anything in return, not even the confirmation of the McMahon line.
In school, we studied Nehru’s #Panchsheel
agreement & how it brought India and China closer and the popular phrase Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai.
Reality ?

When I tweeted about Gandhi's Sexpedition, many MKG Lovers denied it & few went tried to castigate me.

Here I'm producing 2 letters from none other than Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel disapproving Gandhi's Sex Charades.
Do Read....

The 1st letter Patel wrote to MKG on 25/1/47

when he was at Muriam-Hirapur.

Excerpt: "Read your letter to Kishorelal Mashruwala, Mathuradas and Rajkumari Amrit Kaur. You have thrown us in wildfire of agony. I can't understand why you thought of reviving this experiment. After our last talk with you, we thought this

chapter had ended. Parashuram was a faithful servant and your contempt for him is wrong (he was Gandhi's attendant who left in disgust unable to stomach the experiments). You just don't care for our feelings. We feel utterly helpless. Devdas's feelings stand acutely
