R. Das earned the title ‘Deshbandhu’ for his unwavering dedication to India’s freedom struggle and his charitable nature. As a highly successful lawyer, he gave up his lucrative practice to join the mass movements led by Gandhi. He was instrumental in shaping the political discourse of Bengal and advocated for Council Entry to wreck the British administration from within. His death in 1925 was mourned nationwide, with Gandhi remarking that India had lost a great soul. His legacy continues to inspire through his contributions to both the Indian National Congress and the Swarajist movement.

On August 8, 1942, the All India Congress Committee met in Bombay and ratified the “Quit India” resolution. This mass movement sought the orderly withdrawal of the British from India. Although most senior leaders were arrested the following morning, the movement spread spontaneously across the country. It involved large-scale strikes, sabotage of communication lines and the establishment of parallel governments in some regions. The Quit India Movement proved that the British could no longer govern India against the will of its people, making independence a matter of time.
In 1943, Subhas Chandra Bose arrived in Singapore to revitalize the Indian National Army.

In 1943, Subhas Chandra Bose arrived in Singapore to revitalize the Indian National Army. Addressing a massive gathering, he proclaimed “Delhi Chalo” to signify that the path to freedom lay through a military march to the seat of British power in India. This slogan mobilized thousands of Indian prisoners of war and civilians in Southeast Asia. The subsequent INA campaigns in Imphal and Kohima, though militarily unsuccessful, created an unprecedented wave of nationalism within India, eventually contributing to the breakdown of British authority over the Indian military.
The Non-Cooperation Movement was at its peak when news reached Gandhi of the Chauri Chaura tragedy on February 4, 1922.

The Non-Cooperation Movement was at its peak when news reached Gandhi of the Chauri Chaura tragedy on February 4, 1922. A group of protestors, provoked by police firing, attacked and burned a police outpost. Gandhi, who viewed Satyagraha as a strictly non-violent pursuit, felt that the movement was losing its moral character. Despite opposition from leaders like Nehru and C.R. Das, Gandhi unilaterally called off the agitation. He emphasized that he would rather be humiliated than lead a movement that had strayed from the path of truth and non-violence.

General Dyer, seeking to strike terror, entered the walled garden with his soldiers and opened fire on the trapped crowd for ten minutes. The brutal slaughter of men, women and children shocked the conscience of the world. In protest, Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood.
