Daily Current Affairs Article 22nd December 2020: Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the native village of Bengali revolutionary Khudiram Bose in Midnapore, West Bengal.
Bose was born in 1889 at a small village in Midnapore district. One of the youngest leaders of the Independence movement, Bose is highly regarded in Bengal for his fearless spirit.
In 1905, when Bengal was partitioned, he actively participated in protests against the British.
At the age of 15, Bose joined the Anushilan Samiti, an early 20th century organisation that propounded revolutionary activities in Bengal.
He is most remembered for his attempt to assassinate the British judge, Magistrate Douglas Kingsford, which ultimately led him to be sentenced to death at the young age of 18.
