Synopsis: | This is a play written by Sri Chinmoy about India's revolutionary heroes of Bengal. In particular it is a celebration of the contributions made by three famous freedom-fighters of India. Deshabandhu, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Deshapriya who came from Sri Chinmoy's own birthplace of Chittagong. Deshabandhu also known as Chitta Ranjan Das played a significant role in assuring the acquittal of Sri Aurobindo another early Indian revolutionary. Chitta Ranjan Das then went on to make his own significant contribution to the independence movement. The play is an imaginative look at the events of this time. | |||||
