Profile of a Martyr Jatin Das A first hand account his brother Kiron Das

Here is the life account of a Martyr who warned his fellow comrades in Lahore Central Jail before going on a hunger-strike: “By venturing on this strike, we are plunging into a prolonged ordeal, which is far more challenging that the fight with pistols and revolvers…. It is far easier to die of a police bullet or by going to the gallows then perishing away ‘iota by iota’ inching towards the demise, and he stuck to his resolve despite pressure from his fellow comrades to relent till his demise on 13th September 1929. We have a first hand ‘blow by blow’ account of this sage by his fellow comrade brother Kiron Chandra Das upto his last rites, where his father, a judge by profession also rises to the occasion to anoint him as a true son of the soil. The style and diction of the narration is equally befitting.
