Pritilata to be recalled today

On the occasion of celebrating the birth anniversary of Bengali revolutionary nationalist Pritilata Waddedar, team Pritilata has organised a ‘priti adda’ (friendly get together) today at 4pm at the Bishwo Shahitto Kendro in the capital’s Bangla Motor area. 

Eminent novelist Selina Hossain, playwright-actor and educationist Momtaz Uddin Ahmed, author and novelist Panna Kaiser, poet Kazi Rozi, artiste Shyamal Dutta and actress Shampa Reza will attend the event, among others.
Pritilata Waddedar (5 May 1911 – 23 September 1932) was a Bengali revolutionary nationalist. After completing her education in Chittagong and Dhaka, she attended Bethune College in Kolkata. Pritilata graduated in philosophy with distinction.
After a brief stint as a school teacher, Pritilata joined a revolutionary group headed by Surya Sen. She led a team of fifteen revolutionaries in a 1932 attack on the Pahartali European Club, which had a sign board that read ‘Dogs and Indians not allowed’. The revolutionaries torched the club and were later caught by the British police. To avoid getting arrested, Pritilata consumed cyanide and died.
