#BhupendraKumarDutta – In all his life, Bhupendra never took rest, from childhood till his death, he was fighting – for his people, for his country, the only difference is, he fought twice.
His fight continued even after independence.

His “Upavasa Satyagraha” for 78 days,

Datta spoke on March 16, 1950, just a day before, Pandit Lakshmi Kanta Maitra, spoke in the Indian Parliament predicting the
failure of the Nehru-Liaquat agreement. "Sir, so far as we on this side of the House are concerned," began Datta, "we meet under the shadow of a great calamity that threatens our very existence as a community. Reports may be exaggerated, reports may be minimised.Killings may be
