'Bagha Jatin Theatre ' and 'Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee' Kushtia distrct unit jointly organised a discussion on the premises of Koya College yesterday to remember revolutionary Bhagha Jatin.
Among others, freedom fighter Abdur Rouf, Nirmul Committe leader Shahriar Kabir, Prof Muntasir Mamun, Mohammad Selim, Begum Saleha Akter and Ziaul Islam discussed on various sides of the revolutionary.
Jatindranath Mukherjee, fondly remembered as Bagha Jatin, one of the chief Bangalee revolutionaries fighting against British rule in India, took a heroic death on September 10, 1915. It is an irony of history that he is little known though there is no dearth of well documented historical records on him.
Born in 1879 in a village called Koya in Kushtia district of undivided Bengal (presently Bangladesh), Jatin joined the Central College in Calcutta in 1895 after completion of school education.
From a very young age, Bagha Jatin became the leader of the Yugantar political party in Bengal. In a heroic battle fought between the revolutionaries and the British police constitutes a few other revolutionaries died on the bank of the river Buribalam near Balasore.
Bagha Jatin along with a few others, being seriously injured, was arrested by the police and died.
