Sarat Chandra Bose (Aged 61) was born on September 6, 1889, in India, and lived a multifaceted life. Although he was a successful lawyer and became known as the “Prince of Barristers,” he also joined the Indian National Congress in 1919 and was a prominent figure in the freedom struggle. He held leadership positions within the Congress Party, serving as Leader of the Opposition in the Bengal Legislative Assembly, President of the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee, Leader of the Congress Party, and Leader of the Opposition in the Central Legislative Assembly.
Sarat Chandra Bose was a member of the Congress Working Committee and the Congress Central Parliamentary Board. He played a crucial role in bringing the Congress Party to power with a massive majority in 1946. He was a member of the Interim Cabinet but resigned to make room for Muslim League members.
An accomplished journalist, Bose took over the newspaper “Forward,” which was later renamed “Liberty,” and started the daily newspapers “The Nation” and “Mahajati” in Bengali. He spent time in prison twice, first from February 1932 to September 1935 and again from December 1941 to September 1945.
Sarat Chandra Bose was an inspiration to revolutionaries and provided them with financial and other support. He also served as defense counsel for some of the accused in the Chittagong Armoury Raid Case. In 1941, he worked to unite Hindus and Muslims and formed the Progressive Coalition Party with Fazlul Haque, which came to power in Bengal. However, he was arrested on the eve of joining the Ministry and imprisoned until September 1945.
Sarat Chandra Bose was a guiding spirit to his brother, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and fought alongside him in the freedom struggle. He resigned from the Indian National Congress in 1946 in protest against the decision to agree to the partition of the country and formed the Socialist Republican Party. He fought tirelessly for a united India.
As an astute statesman, Sarat Chandra Bose foresaw the aftermath of Partition and pioneered the movement for unification and consolidation of leftist forces in India. He succeeded in launching the United Socialist Organisation, which many leftist parties joined. Bose passed away on February 20, 1950, in Kolkata, fighting for his principles until the end.
