[b]Surya Sen </b>
Surya Sen, a revolutionary from the Chittagong district of Bengal (now in Bangladesh), was the president of Indian National Congress in the district. By 1923, he had established revolutionary cells under the Jugantor (New Age) party. Aided by Purnendu Dastidar, Kalpana Dutt and Pritilata Waddedar, Surya Sen organized guerrilla raids on British targets. His group successfully raided offices of Assam-Bengal railways in Chittagong. The Chittagong Armoury Raid took place on 18 April 1930, when the revolutionaries under the leadership of Surya Sen attacked the British Armory in Chittagong. However, the attack was thwarted by the British soldiers and police.
On 23 September 1932, Surya Sen masterminded an successful attack on the European Club in Chittagong, which bore the notorious sign Dogs and Indians not allowed. However, Pritilata Waddedar, the leader of the group leading the attack was surrounded and committed suicide to avoid capture. After spending years in hiding, Surya Sen was captured on 17 February 1933. He was later tried and sentenced to death. Members of Jugantor party made a futile attempt to rescue him. Surya Sen was hanged on 8 January 1934 in Chittagong Jail.
