Early life

edit

Suhasini Ganguly was born on 3rd February 1909 in Khulna, Bengal, British India to Abinashchandra Ganguly and Sarala Sundara Devi. Their family was from Bikrampur, Dhaka, Bengal. She passed matriculation in 1924 from Dhaka Eden School. While studying Intermediate of Arts, she got a teacher's job at a deaf and dumb school and went to Kolkata.[7][1][8]

Revolutionary activities

edit

Beginning

edit

While staying in Kolkata, she got in touch with Kalyani Das and Kamala Dasgupta. They introduced her to the Jugantar Party. She became a member of Chhatri Sangha. Under Kalyani Das and Kamala Dasgupta's management, Suhasini, on behalf of the Chhatri Sangha, taught swimming in Raja Srish Chandra Nandy's garden. There she became acquainted with revolutionary Rashik Das in 1929.[1] When the British government came to know of her activities she took refuge at Chandannagar, which was a French territory.[8]

After the Chittagong Armoury Raid on 18th April 1930, at the instruction of the leaders of the Chhatri Sangha, Sashadhar Acharya and Suhasini in a disguise of husband and wife gave shelter on May 1930 to Anant Singh, Lokenath Bal, Ananda Gupta, Jiban (Makhan) Ghoshal and others in Chandannagar. On 1st September 1930, the British raided their house and a skirmish followed. Makhan Ghoshal died in the gunfire fight and the other revolutionaries, including Suhasini Ganguly were captured.[3] But they were shortly released.[1][7]

Other activities

She was associated to Bina Das, who attempted to assassinate the Bengal Governor Stanley Jackson in 1932.[9]

Under the Bengal Criminal Law Amendment (BCLA) Act, she was held captive in Hijli Detention Camp from 1932 to 1938.[4][7]

After her release, she participated in India's Communist movement.[1] She was attached to the women’s front of the CPI. [10]

Though she did not participate in the Quit India Movement (as the Communist Party of India did not participate), she helped her Congress colleagues.[2] She was detained in jail between 1942 and 1945 as she gave shelter to Hemanta Tarafdar, who participated in the Quit India Movement.[1]

She was held captive for several months in 1948 and 1949 under the West Bengal Security Act of 1948 for her attachments to communism. (The Communist Party of India was banned in 1948.)[1]

Later life and death

edit

Suhasini was involved in social struggle throughout her life.

Due to a road accident in 1965, she was admitted to P. G. Hospital of Kolkata. But due to negligence, she became infected to tetanus and died on 23 March 1965.[1][7]

Suniti Choudhury

edit
Suniti Choudhury
Born22 May 1917
Died12 January 1988
Known forAssassinating a British magistrate at age 14
MovementIndian independence movement

Suniti Choudhury (22 May 1917 – 12 January 1988) was an Indian nationalist who, along with Santi Ghose, assassinated a British district magistrate when she was 14 years old[1][2][3] and is known for her participation in an armed revolutionary struggle.[2][4][5][6]

Early life

edit

Suniti Chowdhury was born on 22 May 1917 in Comilla of Comilla District of Bengal (present Bangladesh) to Umacharan Choudhury and Surasundari Choudhury[7]. She was a student of Foyjunessa Balika Vidyalay of Comilla.[8][9]

Revolutionary activities

edit

She was influenced by the revolutionary activities of Ullaskar Dutta, who also lived in Comilla. She was recruited to the Jugantar Party by one of her classmates, Prafullanalini Brahma.[10] She was also the member of Tripura Zilla Chhatri Sangha. She was selected as the Captain of the Women's Volunteer Corps in the Annual Conference of Tripura Zilla Chhatri Sangha, held on 6 May 1931.[11] During this time, she was known by the alias of 'Meera Devi'. She was selected as the “custodian of firearms” and was in charge of training female members (of the Chhatri Sangha) in lathi, sword and dagger play.[12][7]

Assassination of Charles Stevens

edit

On 14 December 1931, Chowdhury, then 14, and Santi Ghose, who was 15, walked into the office of Charles Geoffrey Buckland Stevens, a British bureaucrat and the district magistrate of Comilla, under the pretense that they wanted to present a petition to arrange a swimming competition amongst their classmates.[2] While Stevens looked at the document, Ghose and Chowdhury removed automatic pistols which were hidden under their shawls and shot and killed him.[2][13][14]

Trial and sentence

edit

The girls were taken into custody and imprisoned in the local British jail.[2] In February 1932, Ghose and Chowdhury appeared in court in Calcutta. Being a minor, both of them were sentenced to jail for 10 years.[15] In an interview, they stated, "It is better to die than live in a horse's stable."[15][5]

She was held captive in Hijli Detention Camp as a "third class prisoner".[16] The effects of her activities were also faced by her family members. Her father’s government pension was stopped. Her two elder brothers were detained without trial. Her younger brother died from malnutrition.[8]

She was released with Santi Ghose in 1939, after having served seven years of her sentence, because of the amnesty negotiations between Gandhi and the British Indian government.[8]

Public and media response

edit

Contemporary Western periodicals portrayed the assassination as a sign of "Indians' outrage against an ordinance by the Earl of Willingdon that suppressed the civil rights of Indians, including that of free speech."[2] Indian sources characterized the assassination as Ghose and Chowdbury's response to the "misbehaviors of the British district magistrates" who had abused their positions of power to rape Indian women.[2]

After the verdict was announced, a flyer was found by the intelligence branch of police in the Rajshahi district praising Ghose and Chowdbury as nationalist heroines. The poster read, "THOU ART FREEDOM'S NOW, AND FAME'S" and displayed photographs of the two girls alongside lines from Robert Burns' poem Scots Wha Hae[5]:

"Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!"

Later life and death

edit

After her release, Chowdhury studied and passed M.B.B.S. and became a doctor. In 1947, Chowdhury married Trade Union Leader Pradyot Kumar Ghosh.[8]

Chowdhury died on 12 January 1988.[8]

Ten Thousand Miles along the Yellow River

Ten Thousand Miles along the Yellow River (Chinese: 清 佚名 黃河萬里圖 卷) is a Chinese scroll painting by an unidentified artist. The painting is from the period of Qing Dynasty and is thought to be created from 1690 to 1722. The painting illustrates the Yellow River System. Currently, the work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, where the drawing was purchased in 2006 with the help of W. M. Keck Foundation, The Dillon Fund and other donors.[1][2][3][4][5]

Given the constant threat of flooding from the Yellow River, the study and management of that river system was one of the highest priorities of the Qing court. This monumental map graphically illustrates the complexity of controlling the Yellow River's channel and its potential impact on the numerous towns and cities in its drainage area.[1]

This was painted during the reign of Kangxi emperor (reign: 1662–1722). This map reflects the highest level of indigenous mapmaking before the introduction of European techniques. (Kangxi emperor had shortly engaged a team of Jesuit missionaries to conduct a comprehensive survey of his empire.) The map's appeal lies not in its cartographic accuracy but in its pictorial treatment of terrain features. The map merges panoramic landscape painting and cartography: waterways are rendered in a planimetric fashion (that is, they lie flat on the picture surface); mountains are depicted frontally; and architecture, notably walled towns and cities, are shown as isometric projections. There is no consistent use of foreshortening, perspective, atmospheric distortion, or diminution of scale to suggest spatial recession. One may speak of the bottom or top of the composition, but there is no measurable distinction between the foreground and the far distance. The map is visually coherent, and its seemingly unbounded view of vast expanses enables the viewer to grasp far more than the eye could see in reality. To unroll the scrolls is to vicariously experience the drama of voyaging up the Yellow River from the East China Sea to the rapids of the Dragon Gate. [1]
