March 22

Surya Sen was born on March 22, 1894, in Noapara, Chittagong, to Sashibala and Ramaniranjan Sen, both teachers. He was raised by his uncle, Gourimoni, after losing both of his parents at a young age. When he was a student at Chittagong College in 1916, one of his lecturers encouraged him to participate in revolutionary activities in the battle for the country's liberation. Surya Sen, inspired by patriotic ideas, raised the banner of 'Anushilan Samity,' a revolutionary organisation. While the professed motivation for the 'Chittagong Armoury Raid' was to attack the purportedly impregnable twin bastions of British authority, the true goals were considerably bigger.
