Tagore’s Request

In 1921, while they were returning to India together, Tagore requested Subhas to go and see Gandhi-ji, which Subhas did on the very afternoon his ship arrived in Bombay. Gandhi-ji in turn requested Subhas to see Chitta Ranjan Das, the famous Bengali nationalist and lawyer, also known as Deshabandhu, Friend of the Nation. Subhas accepted Deshabandhu as his political guru.

Here, Deshabandhu is shown with his wife, Vasanti Devi.

As a young barrister, Chitta Ranjan Das had most successfully defended Sri Aurobindo against charges of sedition in the historic Alipore Bomb Trial.
