Pal, Kristo Das : (1838-84), “Educated at the Oriental Seminary & Metropolitan College, Calcutta: appointed Assistant Secretary to the British Indian Association, Calcutta (organisation of Bengali zamindars) Dec. 1858 & Secretary in 1879: made editor in Nov. 1861 & subsequently manager of the Hindoo Patriot (q.v.), then the leading native paper: in 1863 appointed a Justice of the Peace in Calcutta, & took prominent position in municipal affairs: nominated a Member of the Bengal Legislative Council in 1872 & an additional Member of the Gov.-Gen.’s Legislative Council in Feb. 1883 as representative of the Bengal zamindars in the discussions on the Bengal Tenancy Bill: his services were highly valued by Govt.: his natural eloquence was developed by constant practice, while his force of character, combined with industry & independence, gave him a leading position in public affairs: in advocating the cause of the natives of India his moderation conduced greatly to his success. Sir C.P. Ilbert said of him: ‘A great orator & a great journalist, who would have made his mark in any country & at any time.’ He was made Rai Bahadur in 1877 & C.I.E. [Companion of Brit-Indian Empire] in 1878: on July 24, 1884, a statue was erected in his honour at Calcutta.” [Buckland]

On his generation, a generation servilely English and swayed by Keshab Chandra Sen and Kristo Das Pal, Bankim had little effect. Even now you will hear Anglicised Bengalis tell you with a sort of triumph that the only people who read Bengali books are the Bengali ladies. The sneer is a little out... they are its only readers. Already we see the embryo of a new generation Page 116 soon to be with us, whose imagination Bankim has caught and who care not for Keshab Chandra Sen and Kristo Das Pal, a generation national to a fault, loving Bengal and her new glories, and if not Hindus themselves, yet zealous for the honour of the ancient religion and hating all that makes war on it. With ...

Surendranath tried his best to convince Sri Aurobindo that the Moderate policy would not only bring about... Chittaranjan Das, Surendranath Halder, Page 391 and Sarat Chandra Sen — all familiar faces; the only exception was a retiring figure sitting quietly in a chair, whose name I later came to know as Aurobindo Ghose.

... surprising talent, nay, of unmistakable genius, but too obviously influenced by Shelley and the English poets. And last of all came the generation formed in the schools of Keshab Chandra Sen and Kristo Das Pal, with its religious shallowness, its literary sterility and its madness in social reform. Servile imitators of the English, politicians without wisdom and scholars without learning, they have no ...
