Short Biography
Sachindra Nath Sanyal (1893 - 1942) was a prominent
figure in the Indian freedom struggle. He was born in Banaras in modern-day
Uttar Pradesh in 1893 AD. Hari Nath Sanyal was his father. Sachindra was very
disappointed seeing the miserable condition of his fellow countrymen under oppressive
British rule in India. Soon he got involved in anti-British activities with an
objective to root out British rule in India at any cost. He founded a branch of
‘Anushilan Samiti’ in Patna in 1913. He also actively participated in the
activities of the Ghadar Party. When the British government tried to crush the
Ghadar movement, Sachindra Nath got underground but he was caught later and
suffered a jail term. He was imprisoned in the Cellular Jail in the Andaman
& Nicobar. In brief he adopted the freedom of India from the British as the
only goal of life.
The sudden suspension of the non-cooperation movement
and confusion on the anti-British front forced him to adopt an aggressive and
violent course of action against British rule. As a revolutionary freedom
fighter, Sachindra Nath Sanyal is best remembered as the founder of the
Hindustan Republic Association (HRA), a great revolutionary outfit against
British rule. Sachindra Nath and Ram Prasad Bismil and other revolutionaries
founded the HRA in 1924 with the objective of uprooting the cruel British rule
from India through violent action in a more organized manner. The Kakori case
was the prime example of HRA’s anti-British actions. The Kakori case shook the
roots of British rule. Sanyal was caught in this case and was given rigorous
imprisonment for his leading role in the case. After many years of hardships in
jail, he died in 1942 leaving his dream of India’s freedom unfinished but very
close.
Some Important Points
No:1. It was Sachindra Nath who wrote the manifesto of
the HRA under the title of ‘The Revolutionary’.
No:2. During
his imprisonment at the Cellular jail, he wrote his book ‘Bandi Jeevan’ (A Life
in Captivity).
No:3. The HRA later became the Hindustan Socialist Republican
Association (HSRA) having the same goal of India’s freedom from British rule.
