Emigration To West Bengal
Attracted by the National College at Kolkata with Sri Aurobindo as principal, in 1907 he joined it as a teacher of Hindi and Urdu. Earlier he had come to know Taraknath Das and Surendramohan Bose. Moreover, the Maratha Lodge, where he resided, was a boarding-house frequented by other revolutionary suspects of the time. Arrested in Mumbai, in February 1909, Ganesh Savarkar, brother of Vinayak Savarkar, was found in possession of “60 pages of closely typed matter in English, which proved to be a copy of the same bomb manual (…) found in the Manicktolla garden . Savarkar’s copy was more complete, as it contained 45 sketches of the bombs, mines and buildings to illustrate the text.” (Ker, p182).
