Nalini Das (1 January 1910 – 19 June 1982) was a prominent revolutionary of the Indian independence movement in the Indian subcontinent and a leading figure during the period of armed resistance. In 1929, after an arrest warrant was issued against him in the Mechuabazar bombing case, he went into hiding. While underground, he was arrested in 1930 in connection with an attempt to assassinate the then Police Commissioner of Calcutta, Charles Tegart.[1]
Nalini Das was born in present-day Shahbazpur, Bhola District, Bangladesh. His father's name was Durgamohan Das. He began his education in Bhola. While in the fifth grade, he participated in strikes and was imprisoned. He passed matriculation from Bhola Government High School in 1928 and enrolled in the I.Sc. class at Brojomohun College in Barisal. He was also a noted football player in Barisal during that time. However, due to legal cases, he could not sit for the final exams.[1]
Work in the Communist Party of India
After being released from prison in September 1946, Nalini Das became an active and dedicated worker of the Communist Party of India. He worked with resistance committees in riot-affected Calcutta during communal violence.
