DID YOU KNOW?
On Direct Action Day, 16 August 1946, when Calcutta turned into a slaughterhouse for Hindus, one man rose against the tide of terror — Gopal Patha, a butcher who became an unlikely saviour.
With no political power, no official backing, but courage in his heart, he organized a people’s army. He armed local youth with meat cleavers and swords — not to kill, but to protect the helpless when the state refused to.
While mobs hunted Hindus, Gopal Patha hunted the mobs.
Know your real heroes.
