Life

Amiya Nath Bose was the son of the independence activist Sarat Chandra Bose and Vibhabati Devi. His uncle was Subhas Chandra Bose, founder of the All India Forward Bloc. In 1937 he started studying economics at Cambridge University, where he gained a second-class BA, and he was called to the Bar in 1941. He was kept under government surveillance, suspected of radical anti-imperialism. In 1942 he helped found the Committee of Indian Congressmen (CIC), becoming General Secretary. However, his rumoured pro-Axis leanings led to internal conflict in the party. In 1944 he moved to Birmingham to escape the bombings, and helped organize the Indian Political Conference in Birmingham in 1944.[5]
