Patriot, lawyer and parliamentarian, Chittaranjan Das is better known by the appellation "Deshabandhu", Friend of the Country. He was the Guru of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. He became the first elected Mayor of the Calcutta Corporation in 1924 (Swaraj Party) under whom Netaji worked as the Commissioner. Deshabandhu wanted Swaraj for the masses, not for the classes. He believed in non-violent and constitutional methods for the realisation of the
national independence. In the economic field, Das stressed the need for constructive work in villages. He was a champion of national education and vernacular medium. He also made his mark as a poet and an essayist. He supported women's education, widow re-marriage and intercaste marriages.

An excellent site about the Great Men of India. I am grateful to you for the journey through our great people's lives. Recently I was trying to build an album of great men and kings of India as a Summer project work for my son, who is studying in IVth Standard in Abu Dhabi. I collected as much as important pictures and information from your site. Thanks to you. I look forward more and more sites valuable for the younger generation who are living far away from India. I am looking for information regarding the Habitats of India - Flowers and animals. Could you please guide me with your valuable suggession? I definitely look forward to it. Once again you deserve a big applause and Congratulation for the best of the best work done. Wishing you to come forward with wonderful sites in future. God bless! Uma Subu - Abu Dhabi. |
