Date to be observed: 16Th
June 2017
Chittaranjan Das (C. R. Das)
(popularly called Deshbandhu "Friend of the country")
(Birth 5 November 1869 ,Death 16 June 1925) was an Indian politician and
Founder-leader of the Swaraj (Independence) Party in Bengal under British rule.
Deshbandhu was one of the greatest of men... He
dreamed... and talked of freedom of India and of nothing else... His heart knew
no difference between Hindus and Mussalmans and I should like to tell
Englishmen, too, that he bore no ill-will to them.
All the
best
