Bina Das was the female revolutionary who fired at the English Governor (Chancellor) while receiving her degree at the convocation. With a fierce resolution to gain freedom, Bina Das plunged into action by joining “Chhatri Sangha”, a revolutionary group in Calcutta.

The first action of this revolutionary party was to kill a ruthless and tyrant British Governor during the convocation ceremony. Since Bina Das was also going to get her graduate degree at that event, she decided to take the initiative of assassinating the ruthless Governor.

The convocation ceremony was filled with several young graduates and Bina Das was one of them. When Stanley Jackson was about to arrive at her side, Bina Das immediately fired five bullets from her revolver.

But the governor managed to escape unscratched from the attack. Since Bina Das had just started practicing shooting, her grip on the weapon was not strong. Bina Das was arrested and was sentenced to 9 years of painful imprisonment. Even though the mission was a failure, Bina Das was glad that she had succeeded in striking a terror in the mind of British supremacy.
