Bagha Jatin (Bengali:বাঘা যতীন), bornJatindranath Mukherjee (Jotindrônath Mukhopaddhæe) was aBengaliIndian revolutionary philosopher againstBritish rule. Jatin was born on 7 December 1879 in Kayagram, a village in theKushtia subdivision ofNadia district in present dayBangladesh. Jatin spent his early life at in his ancestral home atJhenaidah and in his maternal home atKushtia. He moved to Calcutta after passing the Entrance examination. Several sources mention Jatin as being among the founders of theAnushilan Samiti in 1900. TheSamiti activities subsequently spread to many of the districts of Bengal flourished particularly at Kushtia, where Jatindra Nath was the leader. In 1906 Jatin servived an attack by aBengal Tiger and managed to kill the tiger with only a dagger. This act of heroism made him famous.
A few years later Jatin became the principal leader of theYugantar party that was the central association of revolutionaries inBengal. Having personally met the German Crown-Prince in Calcutta shortly before the World War I, he had obtained the promise of arms and ammunition from Germany; as such, he was responsible for the plannedGerman Plot duringWorld War I. Another of his original contributions was the indoctrination of the Indian soldiers in various regiments in favour of an insurrection. Bagha Jatin was injured by police bullets near Chashakhand in Balasore. He died in Balasore hospital on 10 September 1915. (more)
