Born on 6th September, 1889, Sarat Chandra Bose's life was multi-fceted. Law was his profession. He rose to the top and was called a "Prince of Barristers".

He was a member of the Congress Working Commitee and became a member of the Congress Central Parliamentary Board in 1946, sparing no efforts to bring in the Congress Party with a massive majority.

An excellent journalist, he took charge of the paper "Forward" renamed "Liberty" started by Deshbandhu. Later, e brought out daily papers "The Nation" and the Bengali issue "Mahajati".

He suffered incarceration for two terms. He gave up his lucrative practive and joined the Civil Disobedience Movement. He was imprisoned from February 1932 to September 1935.
