<b>11 August 1908
Khudiram Bose hanged in Muzaffarpur Central Jail.</b>
It was his Martyrdom Centenary a couple of days back, while the ungrateful Nation and its government have forgotten this martyr and that day as usual.
Born on December 3 1889 at Medinapur West Bengal, he became a revolutionary at a young age of 16 when Bengal was divided up by British. He was only 19 year old when he became the first revolutionary to have thrown a bomb at british officers on April 30, 1908 along with his comrade Prafulla Chaki. (they missed the target and inadvertently killed three british women)
Both were given a chase and while Chaki committed suicide at Samastipur, Bose went on running and was captured at a small place near where modern PUSA university stands today. (I had the opportunity to visit this place once)
He was captured and given death. He was hung on this day in Muzaffarpur Jail with Vande Matram on his lips.
