27 October - Jatindra Nath Das birth anniversary

 


Jatindra Nath Das, also known as Jatin Das, was a prominent Indian revolutionary and freedom fighter who played a significant role in the Indian independence movement. He was born on October 27, 1904, in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, India, and he passed away on September 13, 1929.

Jatindra Nath Das was deeply inspired by the principles of nationalism and participated in various revolutionary activities against British colonial rule. He was associated with revolutionary organizations like Anushilan Samiti and Jugantar, which were actively involved in armed resistance against British rule.

One of the notable events associated with Jatindra Nath Das is his participation in the Hunger Strike of 1929. He, along with several other political prisoners, went on a hunger strike in Lahore Central Jail to protest against the inhumane treatment of prisoners by the British authorities. Despite enduring severe physical deterioration due to the hunger strike, Das remained resolute in his protest and refused to give up his demands. After 63 days of fasting, he succumbed to his condition and passed away at the young age of 24.

Jatindra Nath Das's sacrifice and determination during the hunger strike had a profound impact on the Indian independence movement. His death sparked outrage and further fueled the spirit of resistance among Indians, inspiring others to join the struggle for freedom.
