Masterda--The Bengal Tiger


 Today is the birth anniversary of one of my heroes, Surya Sen, also known as Masterda, the great revolutionary fighter for India's freedom.

 After the famous Chittagong armoury raid on 18th April 1930 which he led he was betrayed and arrested by the British police who tortured him, broke all his teeth with a hammer, pulled out all his nails, and broke his limbs and joints, before hanging him.
 How many Indians have even heard of him ?
