Khudiram Bose, the ‘Boy Revolutionary’ Who Died With a Smile on His Face!
Khudiram was arrested and trialed for the murder of the two women, ultimately being sentenced to death. One of the youngest revolutionaries of the Indian freedom struggle, he was hung on August 11, 1908, when he was just 18 years old. Born on December 3, 1889, in the small village of Habibpur situated under the Keshpur Police Station in the Midnapore district of West Bengal, Khudiram was the son of a Tehsildar, the fourth child in a family of three daughters.Life was difficult for young Khudiram from the start, when he lost his mother at six, and his father, a year later. Cared for by his elder sister, he lived in her house at Hatgachha village, and attended the Hamilton High School.It is said that Khudiram was part of the Anushilan Samiti, a Bengali organisation that was active in the first quarter of the 20th century, propounding revolutionary violence as a means to driving the British out of India.Khudiram and Prafulla had thrown a bomb at a carriage, but sadly, it wasn’t Kingsford’s carriage. It was occupied by Mrs Kennedy, the wife of Pringle Kennedy, a leading pleader of the Muzaffarpur Bar, and her daughter. Both women lost their lives in the attack, within hours of each other.Apprehended by the policemen and consequently handcuffed, Khudiram was brought to the district magistrate, Mr Woodman. It must be noted that Prafulla had taken a different escape route, and was ultimately caught. However, he shot himself in the mouth before cops could get hold of him. Unaware of Prafulla’s death, Khudiram Bose assumed full responsibility of the Muzaffarpur bombings in front of the district magistrate. He was then put on trial. The trial started on 21st May 1908, and Bose, along with two others, faced the panel. Some lawyers took up Khudiram’s case, purely out of love for the country. On 23rd May, Khudiram resubmitted his statement to the magistrate, denying any responsibility for the attack. However, that would be in vain, as the judge would ultimately sentence him to death.On being read out the verdict, Khudiram Bose smiled, prompting the judge to ask him whether he understood the full extent of his punishment. Bose was cheeky and replied that not only had he understood the verdict, he was also ready to teach the judge bomb-making if given the time. There was still hope, as Khudiram had a week to appeal to the High Court. Khudiram initially refused, but after persuasion from his counsellors, agreed to appeal. The High Court hearing took place on July 8th. Represented by Narendrakumar Basu, Khudiram challenged the verdict of the court. Basu argued spiritedly, bringing in pertinent points, highlighting the fact that Prafulla had shot himself–an indicator that perhaps he was the guilty one, throwing the bombs. The British judges announced the final verdict on July 13th, 1908. Khudiram’s appeal was dismissed, and the British judges confirmed his conviction. An order was issued to carry out a death sentence before 11th August. On the fateful day, the area near the prison was swelling with crowds, holding flower garlands. Khudiram reportedly walked up to the gallows confidently and was hung shortly after. His funeral procession went through Kolkata and was full of people offering flowers to his body. At the tender age of 18, Khudiram was hung. His death sparked fervour among revolutionaries, who heaped honours upon him. The poet, Pitambar Das, wrote a song that resonated the passion that Khudiram had for his motherland.
Both the revolutionaries fled the crime scene. Later Prafulla committed suicide and Khudiram was arrested. On the charges of bomb attacks carried out by Khudiram Bose, he was sentenced to death at the age of 19.He was hanged to death on 11 August 1908.
