If only he could live for two more years he could have seen the fruits of his rebellion against the colonial rule. Rashbehari Bose, the feared insurgent of the Chandannagar Gang, died in 1945.

Rashbehari Bose (1886 - 1945).
He is always considered to be the pride of Chandannagar. He was associated with Sreeshchandra Ghosh (who was also his relative), Aurobindo Ghosh and Barin Ghosh of Jugantar group, since 1907. He was employed in north India till 1910, when he left his job and landed at Chandannagar to join actively in freedom movement. Around that time most of the members of Jugantar group were in jail. Aurobindo Ghosh had also left for Pondicherry.

"I was a fighter,
One fight more,
The last and
the best"
As said by Rashbehari Bose.

Dec 23, 1912 he hurls a bomb at Hardinge on the road in Delhi.

1915. He tries hard throughout North India, to recruit youngsters in the freedom movement.

Second World War. Sitting in Japan he tries to organise an army with Indians in the defeated British army. Azad Hind Fauz was born.

Of all his activities it is very difficult to say which one is the best.

He is the only Revolutionary who could not be imprisoned by the British for even a single day. He left Calcutta in 1912 in the guise of P. Tagore and went to Japan. Japanese called him "Son of the Sun". Other than Lord Buddha such honour is bestowed on the Emperor of Japan alone.

The Bidyadhari river which once had the ancient river port city of Chandraketugarh on its banks originates from a place near Haringhata in Nadia before emptying itself into the Raimangal river within Sundarbans.

The river has some historical connections :
1. East Kolkata Wetlands - a Ramsar site
2. Taki - where the river Ichamati flowing through Bongaon comes and meets Bidyadhari and Kalindi (from Bangladesh)
3. Sundarbans - a Ramsar site

It is time that we understand the importance of this river which has now become moribund in the lower stretches, but still navigable in the upper part. How has life been impacted by this river.
