A STUDY OF LIFE

KALYANI BHATTACHARJEE

Translated from the original Bengali JEEBON ADHYAYAN, by Dhira Dhar

I dedicate this book to my sister Bina and to those young boys and girls who welcomed death and sacrificed all for the freedom of their Motherland, and who marched ever forward with the burning desire of improving the lot of their suffering fellow men.

Through the lines of this book I pay my respect to those young people who never faltered on the perilous path nor ever feared the challenge of death.

Kalyani Bhattacharjee with her husband and father (Beni Madhab Das, an erudite scholar and headmaster of Ravenshaw Collegiate School, of whom Subhas wrote, "for me, to see Beni Madhav Das was to adore him...I secretly said to myself that if I wanted an ideal for my life, it should be to emulate him").
