Despite their immense sacrifices, Sachindranath Sanyal and Rajendranath Lahiri remain shadows in India’s mainstream memory. Sachin Sanyal, one of the earliest revolutionaries, founded the Hindustan Republican Association that inspired generations of young revolutionaries. Image

Rajendra Lahiri, on the other hand, was the principal strategist behind the Kakori Train Action, the operation that announced to the world that India’s youth were ready to take the freedom struggle beyond petitions and prayers.
And yet, how often do we see their names in school textbooks? How often does Bollywood, which claims to “retell” India’s freedom movement, portray their lives? Almost never. Instead, the narrative is repeatedly narrowed to a handful of figures-mostly those who aligned with

Do you know the title "Father of Nation" was originally bestowed to SN Banerjee?

It is a lesser-known fact that the sobriquet "Father of the Nation" was initially bestowed upon Surendranath Banerjee, a prominent figure in the Indian independence struggle, rather than Gandhi. Image
Banerjee's contributions to the Indian nationalist movement were pivotal, particularly through his establishment of the Bharat Sabha (Indian Association) in 1876.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Bengali dominance was at its peak in Congress moderate politics, Banerjee was instrumental in shaping the national discourse. His efforts helped popularize the concept of an Indian nationhood, laying the groundwork.

Gopal Mukherjee is often referred to as “Patha.” A common misconception is that he earned this title because he ran a butchery and sold male goat meat (patha'r mangsho in Bangla). However, this is not the real origin of the name. Image
In fact, the title “Patha” comes from the Varendri dialect (conventionally rougher dialect of Bangla) word “Pāṭhṭhā,” which means a strong, well-built man or a bodybuilder. Since Gopal Mukherjee was himself a bodybuilder, a regular visitor of the revolutionary Akhadas of Bengal
he came to be called “Pattha.” Over time, in the Rarhi dialect of Bangla, “Pattha” evolved into “Pānṭhā.”

Traditionally, a bodybuilder is also described as a “Pattharam.” There is even a Varendri proverb that reflects this usage:

Bengalis do black magic - not a new propaganda. English dailies used to create comics and spread such propaganda that Bengali babus were performing black magic on British women, as a result British women were leaving their families to become consorts of Bengali babus.
Image
Image
In the same series, Germany's Hamilton story got an Anglo-Bengali version in 1887 where a Bengali magician performs black magic and British women blindly follow him, ready to accept slavery and final death. These were awareness campaigns in the British society at that time. Image
Many Bengali bhadralok gained the status of participating in the British parties, occupying high administrative positions which were detrimental to the cause of the British.

West Bengal Unit of @Ekam4Sanatan resigned today for the continuous promotion of anti-Bengali sentiment of individual officials. A grand salute to people with spine who shown guts to stand for identity and not to flow on fake sense of unity without any self-respect.

Bengali RW should admit first that the continuous Bengali hatred in Indian RW you see is NOT for some selective communist or liberals but the separate identity pride of Bengalis itself. Commie/liberal is just en excuse to justify their xenophobic hatred for a community.

It's true as we said continuously, liberalism exists in every community of India & more precisely whole world. Even their own hindu party is highest sense promoter of globohomo liberal capitalist culture. Selectively targeting the community of Bengalis can't be linked here.
