Freedom Fighter Martyr Shibsankar Choudhury
Shibsankar Choudhury was born on May 10, 1912, in a well to do family in Bazar village, located in the Bazar-Bankapashi area of the Shrikhanda Block under the Katwa Subdivision. He was the youngest son of Rakhaldas Choudhury and Prabhabati Devi. After completing his primary education, he was enrolled in the fifth grade at Mathrun M.V. Institution in 1923 and began residing in the hostel. The headmaster of his school was the renowned poet Kumudranjan Mallick.
While studying in the tenth grade, in 1930, Mahatma Gandhi called for the Salt Satyagraha and initiated the movement. Shibsankar Choudhury enlisted himself in the district’s list of Salt Satyagrahis and was selected as a volunteer Satyagrahi. While traveling to Kathi Subdivision of the then undivided Midnapore district, the police blocked their path. When they attempted to break through the blockade, the police arrested and brutally beat them with lathis (batons).
