Virendranath Chattopadhyaya - in Paris

In Paris

Aiyar returned to India and settled in Pondicherry, where he published the Dharma newspaper and a number of political pamphlets in Tamil, while maintaining a regular contact with Madame Cama in Paris. Chatto and some other revolutionaries stayed with her at 25 rue de Ponthieu and helped her to edit the Bande Mataram: its April 1911 issue “was one of the most violent that ever appeared,” praising outrages in Nasik and Kolkata. It said:

"With gentlemen we can be gentlemen, but not with rogues and scoundrels. (…) Our friends the Bengalis have also begun to understand. Blessed be their efforts. Long be their arms."

In connection with the Tirunelveli Conspiracy Case in February 1912, Madame Cama published an article showing that these political assassinations were in accord with the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

Famous quotes containing the word paris:

    Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.
    Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
