Upendra Nath Banerjee: Memoirs Of A Revolutionary

Within the pages of this book lie the forgotten chapters of Bengal’s revolutionary history; the stories of those unsung heroes of our freedom struggle, whose legacies have been lost in the elusive shadows of time. What remains are their names etched on unfamiliar roads—silent reminders that are rarely acknowledged or retained in the memories of those who pass. Amidst the vibrant streets of Kolkata, there is an Upendra Nath Banerjee Road, a tribute to a fearless revolutionary and thinker and his immense contribution to our freedom movement, but few may appreciate the sacrifices of the person it honours. Memoirs of a Revolutionary, a translation of the Bengali classic, Nirbasiter Atmakatha, Upendra Nath Banerjee wrote himself, offers a deeply personal insight into the thoughts, struggles, momentous events and emotions that have shaped India’s history, as seen through his life and his incarceration in the forbidding Cellular Jail in the Andamans.
