SURJYA SEN
THE CHITTGONG UPRISING
On the night of April 18, 1930, 'Masterda' Surjya Sen, his five friends and an army of young boys went into battle in Chittagong, ready to die for freedom and dignity. They attacked the British armories and cut Chittagong off from the rest of British-ruled India. Masterda hoisted the Indian tricolor and declared an Indian Republic. But they were unlucky. One of the armories had guns but no ammunition and the British were ready to retaliate. How long could this ill-equipped and tiny group hold on? Surjya Sen's battle pitted a small handful against the mighty British Empire. Their extraordinary gesture of courage and defiance inspired other freedom fighters, long after they were gone.
