The beginning
editSubhas Chandra Bose organised a group of volunteers during the 1928 Kolkata session of Indian National Congress.[1][2][3][4] The group was named Bengal Volunteers Corps and was under the leadership of Major Satya Gupta. Subhas Chandra Bose himself was the General officer commanding.[5] After the Calcutta session of the Congress was over, the Bengal Volunteers continued its activities, under the guidance of Gupta,[6] and was turned into an active revolutionary association.[7]
Activities
editThe Bengal Volunteers decided to launch 'Operation Freedom' in the early 1930s, primarily to protest against the police repression in different jails in Bengal.[8]
