Chittaranjan Das had but one dream: the freedom of India. He had but one programme: the struggle for freedom. It was said of him, "He dreamed and thought and talked of the freedom of India and of nothing else." Chittaranjan Das had great respect for Gandhi's wisdom. Yet he knew when to compromise and when to act on his own convictions. He agreed with Gandhi that non-cooperation was a peaceful and effective means of achieving swaraj. He was prepared to boycott everything even remotely connected with the British establishment, everything but the legislature. At the risk of disobeying his leader, he questioned the wisdom of boycotting it. Chittaranjan Das was a brilliant lawyer, a distinguished poet, a born leader. Above all, he was a man who loved his country and his countrymen. No wonder people gave back in abundance the love they received from him, and lovingly called him 'Deshbandhu'.
