Threats from Terrorists: RK Mission College, Narendrapur, Gouranga Bhavan 70: One morning the photos of the Great Trio were taken from the Prayer Hall and thrown on the courtyard by Naxalists, an iconoclastic Maoist faction, engaged into dare devil terrorist activities including broad day-light murder. At night I went on vigil and found some juniors at the study. Next morning they wrote life threats against me on the walls of the study, near the Prayer Hall, which confirmed my observation. In the Dining Hall I proclaimed that,'I am not a Gupta Char, a secret spy, but an open one. I am not afraid to sacrifice my life to protect our admired school. We are true revolutionary and do not fear to die. Swami Vivekananda said, Ma Voi!, Do not Fear!, that inspired the freedom fighters. A revolution will not be successful without the support and active participation of the people. A dastard act will get hatred from the people. They are free to preach their philosophy and I will see that they are not harmed since this is a free country. While they think I am a spy the administration thinks I am behind all troubles since I am out-spoken by nature'. That was the only naxalite activity at Narendrapur. |

Restored Expelled Students: After graduation, while strolling at Hedua Swiming pool, met a bright junior and learned that along with 6 other First-class Honors students he was expelled for disciplinary reasons, in the middle of their academic curriculum, jeopardizing their future. Next day, I went to Narendrapur. I had to struggle arguing to see the Principal, Swami Mumukshananda, Ranjan Da, due to the troubled situation. He explained the circumstances and how he was humiliated. I sympathasized and argued that our institution is famous for restoring the bad. I urged him to forgive and give them another chance. Except the leader the rest were taken back. |
