Plot Summary |
Jatindranath Mukherjee was born in a Brahmin family to Sharatshashi and Umeshchandra Mukherjee in Kayagram, a village in the Kushtia, subdivision of undivided Nadia district, in what is now Bangladesh, on 7 December 1879. Jatin was five years old when his father expired. After passing the Entrance examination in 1895 from Krishnanagar Anglo-vernacular School (A.V. School), Jatin joined the Calcutta Central College (now Khudiram Bose College), to study Fine Arts. At the same time, he took lessons in steno typing with Mr. Atkinson: this was a new qualification opening the possibilities of a coveted career. In 1900, Jatin married Indubala Banerjee of Kumarkhali upazila in Kushtia. Upon returning to his native village Koya in March 1906, Jatin learned about the disturbing presence of a tiger in the vicinity while scouting in the nearby jungle, he came across a Royal Bengal tiger and fought hand-to-hand with it. Wounded, he managed to strike with a Gorkha dagger (Khukuri) on the tigers neck, killing it instantly. The famous surgeon of Calcutta, Suresh Prasad Sarbadhikari, "took upon himself the responsibility for curing, whose whole body had been poisoned by the tigers nails." Impressed by Jatins exemplary heroism, Dr. Sarbadhikari published an article about Jatin in the English press. The Government of Bengal awarded him a silver shield with the scene of him killing the tiger engraved on it. The title Bagha, meaning Tiger in Bengali, became associated with him since then. |
