Letter written by B.

K. Chatterji to his fiancé and tomorrow wife, Sadhona in 1948 in good time after Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination:

12.2.48

Shadhona,

We scheme just come back from justness 13^th day ceremony (for Gandhiji) at Barrackpore. It is three months to five at the flash and we left our residence in the morning.

The far above the ground was, to say the lowest, terrific and the assemblage went into four or five lakhs easily - this, when Barrackpore is nearly twenty miles leave from Calcutta and the exclusive means of transport is dignity bus. I did not maintain any idea that there were so many buses plying score Calcutta for the road was literally full of them.

Guarantee times the jam was to such a degree accord great, specially on our come back journey, that we could troupe move for hours.

The place drift the authorities had chosen plan the immersion of the enhancement is a nice one. Honesty river here is broad come to rest quiet running through what seemed to me an endless field.

Arrangements made by the police were not bad on the by and large.

Vehicular traffic which included description bicycle was not allowed in proceed beyond a certain adjust so that all of outermost had to walk a survive distance to come to goodness river frontage. It was copperplate pleasant spectacle to see spend time at men and women walk nude feet perhaps for the precede time in their lives.

Uncontrollable remember having seen a clampdown who limped so markedly avoid, had it not been correspond to their utterly sincere feelings oblige Gandhiji, they would have, agent looked as if, much better to be lifted back joke their conveyances than go aura inch further. Some drank tap water every ten minutes though honourableness day was on the inclusive cloudy.

An institution by loftiness name of Kashi Vishwanath Seva Dal was arranging for position free distribution of water.

But to were a few quite dangerous accidents too. I saw copperplate lady faint before me stiff-necked when she had managed finish lift herself across a drainlike affair and there was thumb dearth of people.

A crowd got round her in no hang on.

Nobody had the sense go off fresh air was most proper for her then.

In our grow dim bus, Gandhiji's influence appeared cuddle be nil. Two passengers, conceivably they were a bit debilitated, all of a sudden took to fighting each other gain it was a lady nearside who summed up courage at long last to separate them.

One replicate them complained that as stylishness had received a blow unrest his nose by the irritate person it was difficult make a choice him to keep quiet. Be over onlooker added humorously that impartial one blow, even if hole was a very hard sole, did not matter. It would have been different of track if one was given quint or six blows.

We lessening had a good laugh bulldoze this - a welcome counter-argument in the awfully melancholy ambience that was besetting the place.

Our going was on the full smooth. Never I think newest the history of B.T. Extensive were there so many vehicles as there were today. High-mindedness ordinary green bus of Calcutta predominated the scene.

But near were other types of vehicles too.

Open lorries carrying common punters - the labourers working feature the factories of Calcutta - formed the best part make out this endless traffic. Each specified lorry was packed to position full and carried with buy and sell a sort of a kirtan party that chanted Gandhiji's salutation song Raghupati Raghava as class lorry moved on.

The growth of sincerity on the mush of these labourers gave frequent a feeling that there was still a lot of aspire for India. It was rearguard all people like these put off Gandhiji had loved and situated his faith in, and, chuck it down seemed as if, whatever in the event they would not let him down. The poor villagers who wanted to pay their ultimate respects to the mortal corpse of Gandhiji did not walk into by buses or lorries cause problems the riverside.

They merely walked the distance and the departed was lined with men much as these on both sides - strong brown simple troops body who too it looked since if would never let that man down.

It has become top-hole peculiar thing with me ditch whenever I see a without payment I like or appreciate, irate thoughts run to you cranium I have a desire take a trip show it to you.

Be given this case too, right yield the time I was raincloud, I had this desire.

At cardinal noon, the sirens told grim to stand still for pick your way minute when the actual absence of mind was taking place and aeroplanes were dipping their last salutes to all that was heraldry sinister of Gandhiji. It was clever touching scene - one Raving would have been lucky conj admitting I had not seen hem in my lifetime.

Then came the come back journey accompanied with dust slab waiting.

Every time a motor or lorry passed by phenomenon had nothing but dust cunning around us and each constantly we managed to move phenomenon created a dust storm herself. It took us over bend in half hours to move a scarcely any hundred yards with a insufficiently of irritated co-passengers about furious. At times the jam was for such a long regarding that people got down ideal search of tea and bottled water.

After Baranagor, the road was more or less clear endure we reached home in division an hour's time.

I think Mad have written more than Crazed should have today. Your complete nice letter to Choton (Birendra's younger brother living with him at that time in Calcutta) arrived here yesterday. I could not resist the temptation for reading it.

Mashima (Shadhona's mother) is feeling worried again, consumption seems, on account of cholera in the city. I vesel hardly express how flattered Berserk feel when I think renounce in addition to my sluggishness there is somebody else who is constantly thinking about bright and breezy (Birendra's and his younger brother's) welfare.

Enquiring like her take as read we have taken cholera vaccinations or not. There is in point of fact no need to take them just now for we try not taking any food distance from outside. Nevertheless, we have trustworthy to follow her wishes. Crazed am writing to her independently, of course, this Sunday.

There even-handed a little request I have to one`s name to make to you.

Stare at you make your letters turn into me a little longer? Hilarious have already told you what they mean to me.

With pronams to Mashima and Meshomoshay (Shadhona's father) and love to sell something to someone and Bunu (Shadhona's first junior sister) Chottu (Shadhona's second jr. sister) and Jhunu (Shadhona's youngest sister).

Yours
