Who organized the ‘Swadesh Bandhav Samiti’ during the Indian Freedom Struggle?

Concept

In modern Indian history, people with similar surnames or revolutionary reputations should be identified through their specific organization, place, and period.

A reliable match uses all three markers rather than surname alone.

Application

The Swadesh Bandhav Samiti was a Swadeshi organization based in Barisal. Ashwini Kumar Dutta, the nationalist educationist from Barisal, organized it to promote Swadeshi work and social service.

Cross-check and contrast

• Batukeshwar Dutta was associated with the HSRA and the Central Legislative Assembly bombing of 1929.

• Surya Sen led the Chittagong Armoury Raid of 1930.

• The historical attribution is to one named individual, so the multiple-person and no-person claims do not apply.

Result

Ashwini Kumar Dutta organized the Swadesh Bandhav Samiti.
