Remembering Khudiram Bose: The 18-year-old martyr who inspired a nation

Share
Khudiram Bose was executed on August 11, 1908, at Muzaffarpur jail in Bihar. He was arrested for his attempt to assassinate British judge Douglas Kingsford, whose judgments targeted Indian nationalists. Bose, along with his comrade Prafulla Chaki, planted a bomb aimed at the judge’s carriage. However, Kingsford was not in the vehicle, and tragically, two women passengers lost their lives instead. Bose was caught and sentenced to death, while Chaki took his own life to avoid arrest.
