Maharaj Trailakkya Chakraborty the great revolutionary

Maharaj TraiIakkya Chakraborty I met him twice with my parents while I was a student of lower classes and as a law of nature I could not understand his political and Social status.After being  adult I came to know about him in details and was tremendous  upset that despite meeting him on two occasions I could not capitalise the meetings with such s historic person.

Let me try to draw a simple outline about him.His name is Maharaj  Trailakkya  Narayan Chakraborty. Incidentally he is from the same place of my maternal uncle's family presently at Bangladesh and as a result he was very close to my maternal uncle's family.

Maharaj  at his very tender age was involved with revolutionary activities with the revolutionary party Anushilan Samiti . He had therefore, no formal education but educated himself with great efforts. Ultimately by dint   of organisational ability and leadership qualities he became a leader of his organisation.


He had to go underground many times and had to move many times in disguise to avoid getting arrested in the hands of British police.Despite the fact he had to to suffer imprisonment in different jails and in different spells and the total period of imprisonment worked out to thirty years and he had written an important book jail e  named  thrish bachar. This was an important document of our freedom movement. Unfortunately the book is out of print and the same is not available in the market. After partition  Maharaj stated in the other part of Bengal and remained there throughout his life. In 1971 he came to Delhi at the invitation of the then prime minister Mrs.Indira Gandhi and attended a party and unfortunately afterwards he breathed his last and thus was ended a historic and noble journey.

I pay my tribute to the sacred memory of the heroic and pride son of the motherland.
