Prafulla Chandra Ghosh (24 December 1891 – 18 December 1983) was the first Premier of West Bengal, India from 15 August 1947 to 14 August 1948. He also served as the Chief Minister of West Bengal in the “Progressive Democratic Alliance Front” government from 21 November 1967 to 20 February 1968.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Early life

Prafulla Chandra Ghosh was born on 24 December 1891 at a remote village, Malikanda, in Dhaka district, British India (now Bangladesh) as a son of Purna Chandra Ghosh and Binodini Devi. Prafulla Ghosh was a brilliant student throughout his academic life and always stood first with scholarship. Prafulla had a rural upbringing and enjoyed cultural festivals such as Jatra, Kirtan, Padavali Gan, and also participated in agricultural activities.[12] In 1920, he was awarded a doctorate in Chemistry by the University of Calcutta.[13]

Political life

P. C. Ghosh, Member, Congress Working Committee and External Affairs-Premier, West Bengal broadcasting a talk on Indo-Pakistan Agreement from AIR. Calcutta on 26 July 1950.

Ghosh developed an interest in the Swadeshi Movement early on, but was most impressed and inspired by the ideas of armed revolution propagated by the Dhaka Anushilan Samiti, which he joined in 1909. However, the methods of the Samiti for raising money through theft and then defending the same in Court eventually alienated him, and he finally quit in 1913 to focus on academia. During the same time, while working for the Damodar flood relief, he met Surendranath Banerjee and other moderate leaders. Yogendra Nath Saha introduced him to the non-violent principles of Mahatma Gandhi. At the beginning, Gandhian principles did not impress him but he was moved by Gandhi’s speech at Dhaka in December 1920 and soon afterwards met with him in Calcutta. In January 1921, he resigned from his position at the Calcutta Mint and along with other members of the Anami Sangh joined the Freedom Struggle.[14]

Family

His great-granddaughter is Priyanka Yoshikawa, who won the 2016 Miss World Japan contest, and his only grandson was Saumya Ghosh, Supreme Court and Inner Temple Bar-at-Law.[15]
