Departing

Rt Hon Srinivasa Sastri has recorded his impressions of Bipin Chandra Pal: "Babu Bipin Chandra Pal burst into full fame in Madras as a preacher of the new political creed. For several days on the sands of the Beach, he spoke words hot with emotion and subtle logic, which were wafted by the soft evening breeze to tens of thousands of listeners invading their whole souls and setting them aflame with the fever of a wild consuming desire. Oratory had never dreamed of such triumphs in India; the power of the spoken words had never been demonstrated on such a scale".He died on May 20, 1932, a sad and disenchanted man.
