Unsung Heroes #01

Revolutionary Nationalist 'Pritilata Waddedar'

Pritilata Waddedar (5 May 1911 – 23 September 1932) was a Bengali revolutionary nationalist. After a brief stint as a school teacher, Pritilata joined a revolutionary group

Joining Surya Sen's revolutionary group

The whole country wanted freedom from British and everyone tried their ways to achieve it. Inspired by Rani Lakshmi Bai, she joined a revolutionary group in 1932.

Revolution

There was Pahartali European Club in Chittagong, where it was written: “Indians and dogs are not allowed”.

Pritilata Waddedar led a team of fifteen revolutionaries to attack the Pahartali European Club for their remarks on Indians. She along with her companions attacked the club where they fought with British police. Firing was going on and one policemen shot her. That was minor but in order to avoid arrest, she consumed cyanide and thus end her short endeavour in fighting for freedom of her country.
