About Khudiram Bose in brief
Khudiram Bose was one of the first freedom fighters in Bengal to be executed by Britishers. He was sentenced to death for his role in the Muzaffarpur Conspiracy Case, along with Prafulla Chaki. At the time of his hanging, he was 18 years, 8 months, and 11 days old, making him one the 2nd youngest revolutionaries in India. He lost his mother when he was six years old, and his father died a year after. He became a volunteer at the age of 15, and was arrested for distributing pamphlets against the British rule in India, at the young age of 16. In 1907, Barindra Kumar Ghosh arranged for his associate, Hemchandra Kanungo, to visit Paris in order to learn bomb making techniques from Nicholas Safranski, a Russian revolutionary in exile. After returning to Bengal, he selected Douglas Kingsford as the next target. Kingsford was the Chief Magistrate of the Presidency Court of Alipore, and had overseen the trials of Bhupendranath Dutta and other editors of Jugantar, sentencing them to rigorous imprisonment. According to Shukla Sanyal, revolutionary terrorism as an ideology began to win support among the populace in Bengal, even if not overt. He also earned notoriety among nationalists when he ordered the whipping of a young Bengali boy, Senil Sen, for participating in the protests that followed the Jugarar trial. This was the first attempt to kill Kingsford in the form of a book packed with a pound of cocoa and three acid detonators.
The book was packed into a Cadricbury Cadbury box and packed into three pounds of cocoa. It was then packed into an empty tin of Cadbury Picricbury. The box was then filled with three pound of acid and packed with three packs of cocoa, which was packed in a box of three pounds each. The three packs were then packed together and detonated. The explosion caused the deaths of two British women, who were in a carriage that Kingsford, who was seated in a different carriage, was in. Mahatma Gandhi, however, denounced the violence, lamenting the lives of the two innocent women. He stated that the Indian people will not win their freedom through these methods. He called for immediate swaraj. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, in his newspaper Kesari, defended the two young men and called for the immediate arrest of Tilak by the British colonial government on charges of sedition. The prosecutions brought the paper more publicity, and helped to disseminate the Anushilan Samiti’s of revolutionary nationalism. These prosecutions led to five more prosecutions that left the paper in financial ruins by 1908, leading to the collapse of the paper. KhudirAm was the fourth child in a family of three daughters. His parents, Trailokyanath Bose and Lakshmipriya Devi had two sons but both of them died prematurely. His father was a Tehsildar in the Nerajol.
