Dutt, Bhupendranath : (1880-1961) youngest brother of Swami Vivekananda. During the search of the office of the Yugāntar, he declared himself the editor, though he was then incapable of writing important articles. He was arrested & sentenced. “Yugantar was involved again & again in sedition cases. In the first of these cases the statement given by Bhupendranath Dutt as editor was actually written by Aurobindo-babu…. Bhupen sent a request for an appeal to be filed in the High Court! When Aurobindo-babu was informed of this, he said: ‘How can we appeal a case in the High Court that we did not even defend? Listen, go to the jail & get Bhupen to sign a power of attorney, bring it back here & destroy it.’ Needless to say, this is what was done.” [Abinash Bhattacharya, “Sri Aurobindo”, Mother India, July 2012]

The Mahomedans and Parsis will join the movement if the Nationalists are driven out and the British public and British Government are, according to Babu Bhupendranath Bose, an excellent authority, deeply interested in seeing the creed preserved. For all these reasons let the creed be preserved. We Page 927 wonder whether these cogent reasons will... plain about the creed, its object is to get rid of the spectre of Swaraj by exorcism and the creed is the magic formula which is to drive Swaraj and Swarajists out of the National Assembly. Mr. R. C. Dutt has declared that the split was a consummation much to be desired and must be perpetuated and the Gujerati heartily endorses the sentiment. The Pabna Conference, it contends, was a got-up affair arranged ...

The Yugantar, according to its promoters — among them Vivekananda's brother, Bhupendranath Dutt —"was dedicated to the service of the country and was the first newspaper of the revolutionary party." Again Maharaja Suryakanta Acharya helped them in financing the paper. The Page 274... itself in a British Court on the ground that it did not recognise the foreign Government and this immensely increased the prestige and influence of the paper." Vivekananda's younger brother, Bhupendranath Dutta, was sentenced to one year's rigorous imprisonment on 24 July 1907 for 'seditious' matter that appeared in the Yugantar. The fact is that the Government was scared stiff of the Yugantar... 29 "They Laugh at Death" "Barin was preparing bombs at my place at Baroda," Sri Aurobindo said with a reminiscent smile, "but I didn't know it. He got the formula from Ullaskar Dutt who was a very good chemist. He, Upen and Debabrata were very good writers too. They wrote in the Yugantar."

"'Yes, what about them?' asked Charu. "'I have seen him. He has the eyes of a madman!' "Dutt replied, 'No, he has the eyes of a Karma yogi.' Charu took great pains to convince him that I was not at all mad but a Karma... behind me holding the rope end." The search which had begun at 5:30 in the morning went on till 11:30. When they finally came out of the house Sri Aurobindo found his Na-Meso, K. K. Mitra, and Bhupendranath Basu outside.

On 24 July 1907 Bhupendranath Dutt, a brother of Vivekananda, was sentenced for seditious material that appeared in Yugantar.

... had these removed after some time. Was it because of the protest of Bhupendranath Basu, the Congress Moderate leader, who had come to see things for himself when he heard about the arrest? Or was it on the intervention of Benod Kumar Gupta, as claimed by him? (Sri Aurobindo Mandir Annual, No. 27, p. 122) ** Cf. C.C.

... Sri Aurobindo wrote articles for some of the earlier issues of the paper and exercised a general control over it. The Government, alarmed at the popularity of the paper, eventually arrested Bhupendranath Dutt, Swami Vivekananda's brother, who came forward as the editor, and sentenced him to jail on a charge of sedition.

A munificent donation of one lakh of rupees was promised by Subodh Chandra Mullick, an affluent and ardent patriot, to found a National College. Through his brother-in-law C.C.

In making the donation, Subodh Mullick stipulated that Sri Aurobindo... cautioned them that if they did not desist, police action and prosecution would ensue. The Government followed this up with police search of the Yugantar office on July 3 and arrested Bhupendra Nath Dutt, as you know.
