Chittaranjan Das had but
one dream: the freedom of India. He had but one programme: the struggle
for freedom. It was said of him, “He dreamed and thought and talked of
the freedom of India and of nothing else.”Chittaranjan Das had great respect
for Gandhi’s wisdom. Yet he knew when to compromise and when o act on his
own convictions. He agreed with Gandhi that non-cooperation was a peaceful
and effective means of achieving swaraj. He was prepared to boycott everything
even remotely connected with the British establishment, everything but
the legislature. At the risk of disobeying his leader, he questioned the
wisdom of boycotting it.Chittaranjan Das was a brilliant lawyer, a distinguished
poet, a born leader. Above all, he was a man who loved his country and
his countrymen. No wonder people gave back in abundance the love they received
from him, and lovingly called him “Deshbandhu”.
