An Indian Pilgrim an Unfinished Autobiography and Collected Letters 1897-1921 AN UNFINISHED AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND COLLECTED LETTERS 1897-1921 S SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE Subhas Chandra Bose is increasingly becoming a subject of study and research in academic and political circles in India and abroad. It has been felt, however, that although much is now known of the later and the more spectacular events of his life, materials relating to the preparatory period of his boyhood and youth have been ra¬ ther inadequate. This is a book that fills this lacuna in considerable mea- , sure. The Netaji Research Bureau has combined in this work the authori¬ tative version of Bose’s unfinished autobiography with a most fascinating collection of letters of his boyhood, adolescence and youth. This, therefore, is certainly the book with which to begin a study of the socio-cultura' environment of Netaji’s origin and th background of his early mental and in¬ tellectual development. What is more, this work will contribute in no small measure to an understanding of the social milieu at the turn of the nine¬ teenth century which produced a gal¬ axy of outstanding men in the Netaji Bose wrote the early part of his life during a short vacation in. Europe in 1937 immediately prior to his election as President of the Indian National Congress. Although incom¬ plete and covering only the first twenty- five years of his life, it is a most valuable piece of writing for a number of rea¬ sons.

S. JAYASINGHE, ASIA PUBLISHING HOUSE, 447 STRAND, LONDON W. C. 2 Preface It is not often that an autobiographical work can be studied together with source material explaining and justifying the retros¬ pective narrative of the author. Here is a book that makes this possible. To those interested in studying Netaji’s formative years, its usefulness therefore is self-evident. This work combines Netaji’s autobiography up to his Cambridge days in 1921 and a collection of letters of his boyhood, adolescence and youth ending with the one he wrote on the day he resigned from the Indian Civil Service. Netaji wrote the first nine chapters of his autobiography in the course of ten days at Badgastein, Austria, in December 1937. It was not possible for him to complete the work owing to the storm and stress of a hectic political life that began with his election as President of the Congress in January 1938. That he intended to write a complete autobiography is shown by the notes he made on the first page of the original manuscript on which this book is based. The notes are as follows : 1. Birth — parentage — family history 2. School Education (a) PE School (b) R. C. School 3. College 1913-16. —1916-17 -1917-19 Scottish College 1919 — Experimental Psychology 4. 1919-21 —Cambridge 5. 1921-1923 6. 1923-1924 7. 1924-1927 Burma etc. 8. 1927-1929 9. 1929-1931 10. 1932-1933 — February 11. 1933-1936 — March — interlude in India 12. 1936-1937 March 13. 1937 March — December As he was writing the early part of his life in Badgastein Netaji expressed his intention to write three chapters on his faith, namely, VI PREFACE — ‘My faith — philosophical’, ‘My faith — political’ and ‘My faith — economic’. These were to form the three concluding chapters of his complete autobiography. He was however able to write only one of these and which forms Chapter X of this book. The second part of the book consists of nearly sixty letters written by him during the period he covered in An Indian Pilgrim. These letters of his younger days are marked by a free and uninhibited play of emotions and ideas. The contribution they therefore make to a fuller understanding of his autobiography and of his intellec¬ tual and ideological evolution will be obvious. The collection begins with the earliest available letters to his mother and brother of 1912-13 and ends with those written to Chittaranjan Das and others when he spurned the British Civil Service to join the national struggle in 1921. Almost all the letters had to be translated from the Bengali. A list of references and a glossary of Bengali words and names which have been retained in the translations have been given at the end in the interest of the non-Bengali reader. Netaji is increasingly becoming a subject of study and research in academic and political circles both in India and abroad. It has been felt — and rightly — that much of the work done on him so far suffers from an inadequate assessment of religious, socio¬ cultural and political factors which influenced his early develop¬ ment. In many instances, this has resulted in incomplete and un¬ balanced judgment of his ultimate personality. It is unfortunate that Netaji never finished his autobiography. Nevertheless, this work has undoubtedly much to offer to the historian, the research worker, the future biographer and all others who are seeking a real insight into the making of this colossus of contemporary Indian history. Netaji Research Bureau is indebted to Mr. Amiya Nath Bose for making available to us Netaji's original handwritten manus¬ cript of An Indian Pilgrim and important information relating to it. It is fortunate that both Netaji’s mother and brother Sarat Chandra preserved his early- letters to them. They had been in the custody of Bivabati, Sarat Chandra’s wife, for nearly three decades. For permission to publish the letters to the Deshbandhu we are grateful to Mrs. C. R. Das. We are obliged to Mrs. Sudhira Sarkar for the most valuable collection of letters to her husband and to Mr. Charu Chandra Ganguly for permission to publish the letters to him. PREFACE YU I wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the assistance that I have received from Dr. Jyotirmoy Chatterjee and Mr. Leo¬ nard Gordon in the very difficult and delicate task of translating the letters into English. Our sincere thanks are due to Mr. Benode C. Chowdhuri for his assistance and guidance in all stages of the publication, to Mr. Susil Kumar Roy and Mr. Subrata Bose for help in the pre¬ paration of the manuscript and to Mr. Sankar Nath Chatter jee and Miss Anjali Burrnan for typing them. It is a pleasure to record once again our thanks to the publishers for their cooperation.

There I was born on Saturday, the 23rd January, 1897. My father was descended from the Boses of Mahinagar, while my mother, Prabhabati (or rather Prabhavati) belonged to the family of the Dutts of Hatkhola. I was the sixth son and the ninth child of my parents. In these days of rapid communication, a night’s journey by train southwards along the eastern coast takes one from Calcutta to Cuttack and on the way there is neither adventure nor romance. But things were not quite the same sixty years ago. One had to go either by cart and encounter thieves and robbers on the road, or by sea and brave the wrath of the winds and the waves. Since it was safer to trust in God than in brother man, it was more common to travel by boat. Sea-going vessels would carry passengers up to Chandbali where transhipment would take place and from Chandbali steamers would get to Cuttack through a number of rivers and canals. The description I used to hear from my mother since childhood of the rolling and pitching and the accompanying discomfort during the voyage would leave no desire in me to undergo such an experience. At a time when distances were long and journey by no means safe, my father must have had plenty of pluck to leave his village home and go far away in search of a career. Fortune favours the brave even in civil life and, by the time I was born, my father had already made a posi¬ tion for himself and was almost at the top of the legal profession in his new domicile.

K. Gandhi's An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1927); appreciate Gandhis' art and craft of autobiography. 28.1 INTRODUCTION TO AUTOBIOGRAPHY What is Autobiography? Autobiography is a branch of biographical literature written in subjective prose. It is always incomplete as it is the story of a person who writes it himherself. 'It is usually written at a later stage in life. The events are recollected either in chronological sequence or at random, moving back and forth in time. However, all autobiographies are not written when the author is old. For example, Dom Moraes wrote his autobiography entitled My Son's Father when he was only twenty two! An autobiography may appear biased which is justified because one person's point of view is being presented. Details of personal experience are made interesting so that regardless of the fame or obscurity of the writer, the reader's attention is engaged and curiosity aroused. Writers talk freely about themselves making frequent use of the first person pronoun.

  • Report of Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry Regarding Alleged Disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
    Report of Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry Regarding Alleged Disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Shri Subrata Bose (Nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose): Mr. Chairman, Sir I thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to speak on this motion moved under Rule 193. Sir, at the outset, I would like to point out to you and all the hon. Members that this is a matter of 60 years old. If one has to understand the issue properly, one has to tell the tale of the last 60 years. In all humility, before I begin, I crave the indulgence of you, Mr. Chairman, Sir, the hon. Minister of Home Affairs, the hon. Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and the hon. Members to speak at length on this subject. I shall certainly not repeat what my previous speaker, the hon. Shri Probodh Panda, has said. I thank him for initiating this discussion. But I will have to give a little background. When in the first week of August, 1945 the Second World War in the Asian Theatre came to a close after atom bombs were hurled over Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan resulting in the surrender of Japan, Netaji’s Azad Hind Fauz had also to accept defeat. They were two alternatives before Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at that time. There were two alternative courses of action. One was to surrender to the Anglo-American Forces, and the second was to go to another country, seek asylum and continue to involve himself in the struggle for the freedom of our country.

    ARTICLE ASIMA CHATTERJEE : A DOYEN IN THE CHEMISTRY OF NATURAL PRODUCTS DHRUBAJYOTI CHATTOPADHYAY* The year 2017 is the birth centenary of Dr. Asima Chatterjee, a doyen in the chemistry of Natural Products. She was one of the pioneer women scientists in India. In fact, she was the first woman to be awarded the Doctorate of Science (DSc) degree by any Indian University; first woman scientist to occupy a Chairedprofessor of any Indian university, first woman General President of the Indian Science Congress and also first woman scientist to receive the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Award in Science and second person in chemical science. We know that the social and cultural taboos secluded women from the scientific research and science study; it was traditionally preserved for men for a long period throughout the world. Only a few women can come out to establish themselves due to their strong will force and unconditional love towards science. Asima Chatterjee was one of such woman scientist of India. Her major interest was on the Chemistry of Natural Products from Indian Medicinal Plants.

  • Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata
    Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray Nitai Chandra Mandal, FNA Ex-Professor, Department of BioChemistry, Bose Institute, Kolkata Prafulla Chandra Ray was born in the village of Raruli in the District of Jessore (now Khulna) in the then undivided Bengal (now Bangladesh) on August 2, 1861. In the same year, two other great personaliteis, one Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko, Calcutta, and the other Mr Motilal Nehru was born at Allahabad. Also during the same year, the 81st element in the Mendeleev‟s Periodic Table, Thallium was discovered in the Crook‟s Chemical Laboratory. His father, Harish Chandra Ray was a wealthy land lord, He was the youngest among his brothers. Harish Chandra was a very meritorious student. But, during his study at Krishnanagar College, suddenly his father died. Such circumstance compelled him to discontinue his study and come back to Raruli for taking the responsibility of looking after the Zamindary. He became an active associate of the then New Bengal Movement and engaged himself for the spread of education in his locality. By virtue of his attachment to various federal committees as member, he had close association with many high profile personalities. He was well versed in several languages like English, Parsi, Arabic and Sanskrit. He built a library at home where he kept many books covering all the above languages. Besides, he used to subscribe regularly various News Papers and Magazines So, Prafulla Chandra had the opportunity to utilize this literary environment at home to build the foundation of learning above languages and developing interest in literatures. Through the reading of editorials and criticisms in all those news papers and magazines, he developed the attitude of expressing his personal opinion on any issue, which, actually, was reflected in his various writings in the future.

  • Speech by the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee Delivering Memorial Lecture to Mark the 150Th Birth Anniversary of Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee
    Speech by The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee delivering memorial lecture to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee Kolkata, West Bengal : 05.06.2014 I am happy to participate in the celebrations to mark completion of 150 years of the life and work of Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee, one of the towering figures Indian education has ever seen - a man of great personality, courage and extra-ordinary administrative ability. I congratulate the ‘Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Kolkata Kendra’ and the ‘Ashutosh Mookerjee Memorial institute’ for having taken the initiative to institute a Memorial Lecture in his honour. I specially congratulate Justice Chittatosh Mookerjee, the grandson of Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee who is sitting with me on the dais and heads both these institutions. The Vidya Bhavan was established in 1938 by Dr. K.M. Munshi, freedom fighter, writer, educationist and ardent environmentalist. Munshiji believed that freedom would be meaningless and worthless unless cultural, ethical, and moral values are enshrined in the hearts and minds of our people. He therefore felt the need to create an institution that could begin to bring about in a small way a tangible change through education. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan which was started as an institution is now a massive cultural and educational movement. I am told the Bhavan now has 119 centers in India, 7 centers abroad and 367 constituent institutions, spreading quality, value based education on subjects ranging from Sanskrit and Vedas to Information Technology. I take this opportunity to congratulate Shri S.G. Mehta, the President of this prestigious institution for the achievements of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and his leadership.
