Khudiram Bose
LeaderPerson
Anti-colonial revolutionary associated with Jugantar
“A teenage revolutionary whose execution became a lasting symbol of militant anti-colonial resistance in Bengal.”
He joined Bengal's revolutionary underground during the Swadeshi era and took part in the 1908 Muzaffarpur attack aimed at Magistrate Douglas Kingsford.
After the 1905 Partition of Bengal, underground networks such as Jugantar pushed parts of anti-colonial politics toward clandestine action and bomb attacks against colonial officials.
His execution at age eighteen made him one of the earliest martyr figures of revolutionary nationalism in Bengal.
