A Yesterday's Witness series of six programmes about British life in India in the 20s and 30s. 4: Fighting Terrorists
In India during the 20s and 30s more and more Indians rallied to the Nationalist cause. The Congress Party and the followers of Mahatma Gandhi were pledged to drive the British from India once and for all and take control of their country's political destiny. And though there were invariably riots and fighting in the streets these politicians abhorred violence. Not so a group of dedicated revolutionaries in Bengal, the British Raj's most troubled province. Since the first decade of the century two groups of terrorists were convinced that political assassination and indiscriminate bombing attacks were the only certain way to ring the curtain down on British India. Eventually the authorities got the measure of the revolutionaries; but not before policemen and civil servants had been murdered.
