Mullick, Nirod : cousin of Subodh Chandra Mullick (q.v.) who like him was the principal financial supporter of Bande Mataram.
... swamp it as the other party was too strong in number. So they broke it: There was no question of any row. I had very little personal contact with Dutt. I think I met him and Mullick first at Thana. I mixed intimately with Mullick. Dutt was most of the time occupied with his judgeship; he was known as a revolutionary judge. NIRODBARAN: People say you had three very intimate friends. One of them is... came with that object. NIRODBARAN: There is a precedent then. But it will be terrible for us. We can't welcome them. SRI AUROBINDO: Nirod will be presiding over the deaths of people. They say in English, "Dying on the Doctor's hands." It will be on Nirod's hands. ...
... sentence I remember of that speech. Dr. Mullick had come to Baroda. The meeting was held in his honour. Prof. Saha proposed you to the chair saying, 'Dr. Mullick is a Bengali and Mr. Ghose is a Bengali. So I propose him to the chair.' You replied: 'I consent to take the chair not because Dr. Mullick is a Bengali and I am a Bengali, but because I am an Indian and Dr. Mullick is an Indian.'" Page 224 ... "While we were in the B.A. class, Mr. S. K. Mullick, a friend of Prof. Ghose, delivered us a lecture laying stress on Swadeshi, and many of us took to the Swadeshi vow from that date. Prof. Ghose also spoke and we were enamoured of his Rhetorics full of sentiments and ardour. Every syllable that he spoke was full of patriotic spirit." Dr. Sarat Kumar Mullick, a reputed physician, was an enthusiastic... "He is at Baroda," replied Dutt. When the train stopped Hesh saw Dutt and shouted to him, "Dutt, do you know Ghosh?" All that was narrated to Sri Aurobindo by Nirod decades later. Sri Aurobindo was hugely amused. Nirod continued C. C. Page 216 Dutt's story. "Then Hesh introduced you. Dutt said to the Englishman: 'Here is Ghosh.' "'That?' the Englishman exclaimed in ...

... it is quite easy. I could have taken aim at even small birds high in the air." It was at Thane that Sri Aurobindo first met Subodh Mullick. Then when he accepted the post of Principal of National College at Calcutta he very often stayed with the Mullicks like a member of the family. He called Lilabati's mother, 'Ma.' And, most unusual with him, he let Lilabati materially take care of him... handle a gun." Another story Dutt narrates in his book is about playing bridge. This too occurred at Thane. Lilabati was making watermelon ice cream, as both 'Ghose Saheb' and her brother Subodh Mullick were there. The ice cream needed time to set. So Subodh said, "Come, let's play a game of card." Smilingly, Ghose Saheb replied, "Yes, let's. But I don't know your modern games of bridge or poker... you know what the target was? The black, tiny head of a matchstick, hung at a distance of ten to twelve feet." This anecdote is in C.C. Dutt's Reminiscences. 1 Upon hearing this story from Nirod, about his aiming at the tip of the matchstick, Sri Aurobindo commented, "That is all fantasy." About the rest, however, he said, "What was actually the case 1. Purano-Katha Upasanghar ...

The resolution, once accepted by the Reception Committee, had to get the support of the whole Congress. Private consultations, and meetings were held at the house of Subodh Mullick under Tilak's leadership where this support was secured. Sri Aurobindo's share in securing this support was not insignificant. To the main resolution demanding Swaraj others were added: viz., Swadeshi ...

Finally, Bepin... 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. Dutt, Subodh Mullick had earlier met Sri Aurobindo, soon becoming one of his closest friends and staunchest supporters in the political field. In making the donation, Subodh Mullick stipulated that Sri Aurobindo should become the Principal of... impetus to the Swadeshi movement. In fact its influence became so pronounced that the Government had to ban it. When Sri Aurobindo came over to Calcutta in June, for a while he stayed at Subodh Mullick's palatial house at 12 Wellington Square. There all his requirements were well looked after, but not wishing to inconvenience his host Sri Aurobindo moved to a house irt Chukku Khansama Lane, where ...

All this was agreed to, and it was also decided to incorporate a Bande Mataram Company to raise the necessary finance. 5 In the meantime, Subodh and Nirod Mullick offered to keep the paper going, and Bepin Pal, enjoying as he did the support of C.R. Das and others, remained editor; but differences unfortunately developed between him and two of the editorial... to the Detective Police Office for surrendering himself. From there he was taken to Poddopukur Thana, but was soon released on bail. Two gentlemen.

Perhaps Sri Aurobindo had temporary shelter for a few days at the Yugantar Office at Kanaidhar Lane before he shifted to Subodh Mullick's place. But here too he couldn't make a permanent stay, for that would have proved too embarrassing to the members of Mullick's family. Accordingly, Sri Aurobindo's ...

The Bengali man of letters was wonderstruck at Sri Aurobindo's "... gentleman par excellence. In 1926, in one moment, he gave up his decades-old habit of cigar-smoking when he saw that it was discommoding Mother. 1 1. Reminds us of an anecdote noted by Nirod (16.1.39). Mother came in with a telegram, garbled it seems, which wanted Sri Aurobindo to send ashesfor somebody's marriage. After some badinage Sri Aurobindo remarked , " IfI had not given up smoking ...
... Mother can give me something to do for her. “ Nirod has, no doubt, explained to you Mother’s answers to the points that arise in Janak Kumari’s letter and her reasons for them, so I confine this letter to two points, her request to be given some work to do for the Mother and her experience. On the first you must have heard from Nirod what is Mother’s difficulty in deciding and giving any... away at the first opportunity; her position is terribly difficult, but a strong will often creates an unexpected opportunity or means for its own fulfilment. You have done well to write to Justice Mullick to help her, but in the present state of things will she be allowed by these people to receive his visit or his help? I do not know if anybody else would have a chance, in view of the strange relations... or for enjoying the Mother’s affection and kindness. Yoga is its own object and has its own means and conditions; sport is something quite different as the Mother herself indicated to you through Nirod when she said that the concentration practised on the playground was not meditation and was used for efficacy in the movements of the body and not for any purpose of Yoga. * March 21 ...

It was at Charu Chandra's house that he first met Subodh Mullick, Charu Chandra's brother-in-law, who was to become one of his most loyal friends and a great political and financial supporter. Subodh Mullick's contribution of a lakh of rupees (Rs. 1,00,000 ) helped the establishment of the Bengal National College at Calcutta. He had... out through Bengal to the rest of India.

He was an active member of our Swadeshi Party and I always put up with him whenever I went to Calcutta. All of you know Charu Dutt, don't you? Well, he was a close relative of Subodh Mullick." "Yes, of course, we know him... other day Nolinida told us something very interesting about his first darshan of you. He was sent by Barinda to call you to the Maniktola Garden. He was waiting in a room downstairs at Raja Subodh Mullick's house, when you came down, stood near him and gave him an inquiring look. He said in Bengali, 'Barin has sent me. Would it be possible for you to come to the Garden with me now?' You answered very... as Barin used to say, 'terribly beautiful'! It was as though Mother Lakshmi herself had come down on earth. In Rangpur, she was known as 'the Rose of Rangpur'. The sari is so very graceful, though Nirod might not agree."
