Bipin Chandra Pal was a teacher, journalist, orator, writer and
librarian. But above all, he was the one of the three famous leaders
called "Lal Bal Pal" who comprised the extremist wing of the
Indian National Congress. It was these three leaders who started the
first popular upsurge against British colonial policy in the 1905
partition of Bengal. This was before Mahatma Gandhi had entered the fray
of Indian politics. Bipin Chandra Pal recognized the positive outcome of
the British kingdom, but at the same time upheld India's federal idea.
Read on about the biography of Bipin Chandra Pal, who was born on 7 November
1858 into a wealthy Hindu family at Habiganj, which is now in
Bangladesh. He was a staunch radical in both public and private life. He
was also among the first who openly rebuked Mahatma Gandhi and his
followers because they sought to reinstate the current government with
no government or by the priestly tyranny of Gandhiji. It was, however,
his coalition with pan-Islamism during Khilafat movement due to which he
was cast off from the Congress till his death in 1932.
With the other two members - Lala Lajpat Rai and Bal Gangadhar Tilak -
from the Lal Bal Pal team, Bipin Chandra Pal doled out a number of
extremist measures like boycotting goods made by British, burning
Western clothes and lockouts in the British owned businesses and
industrial concerns to get their message across to the foreign rulers.
Later on during the course of his life history, Bipin Chandra Pal came
in contact with prominent Bengali leaders like Keshab Chandra Sen and
Sibnath Sastri, but not as one looking for a teacher for guidance. Pal
died in the year 1932.
