Jatindranath Mukherjee, fondly remembered as Bagha Jatin, was one of the chief Bengali revolutionaries fighting against British rule in India. From a very young age, Bagha Jatin became the leader of the Yugantar political party in Bengal, which was instrumental in organizing revolutionary activities against the British.
Though it was the English rule that he was fighting against, most Englishmen loved and respected Jatindranath Mukherjee. Charles Augustus Tegart, a police officer in British India, famously commented that Bengali revolutionaries are a breed of selfless political workers and Bagha Jatin was a shining example. Apart from the conflict against the British, he was also involved in a German plot of World War I.
