Sahid Khudiram Bose

3 December, 1889 - 11 August 1908

একবার বিদায় দে মা ঘুরে আসি...

হাসি হাসি পরবো ফাঁসি, দেখবে জগতবাসি।

Folklore sings that when Khudiram Bose was walking to the gallows, he was in smiles. He was fearless in life as he was in embracing death. He was perhaps one of the youngest revolutionaries who joined the struggle to free India from the atrocities of the British Raj.

Born on December 3, 1889 in Habibpur (Medinipur, West Bengal) to Trailokyanath Bose and Lakshmipriya Devi, Khudiram was inspired by the Bhagawat Gita to join India's freedom movement at a tender age of sixteen. By that time, in Calcutta, the Chief Presidency Magistrate Kingsford had gained notoriety by passing out stiff sentences against the nationalist activists. Things got worse when he ordered to cane a youth called Sushil Sen held in contempt of the court. Sushil was left more dead than alive and this incident caused furor through out Bengal. Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki set out in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Kingsford. Prafulla Chaki avoided arrest by committing suicide. However, Khudiram was arrested, tried and sentenced to death.
