@joyopal 50 years later, they will still expect you to keep them or trash them, and you won't be able to make the choice 😁

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal Yes grandparents

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal @UMich 🤣

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal Agree

@joyopal If the impregnator father of each pregnancy was forced to be financially responsible for the entire lifetime of the child, the policies would be very different.

@RanjanaPil40100 @joyopal I wish that all his wishes come true

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal Oh goody! You made it up a notch a Thanksgiving. You pass the benchmark

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@sunita37 What?? Really?

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal And did it inspire you to call yours?

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal And that’s why I live her so

[Nandini Pal @NandiniPal4]

@joyopal You were 5. The baby was blue and unconscious on the floor as I ran to turn the kitchen gas off across the house to get to her. The most traumatic day for all of us as I ran in my bare feet, baby in arms, to the doctor while you bled from the nose from the misplaced slap.

@Christo61244724 Oh dear! Will not get to say goodbye. All the best in your new position. Shine

@joyopal Which kid? 7 or 6?

Chatto made it to France, but had no money for the train to Marseille, and the story goes Shyamji refused to help.

So there was nobody to help Savarkar talk to French police, who handed him back to the British, then sealing his fate.

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

Back to Plan B - to arrange an escape for Savarkar when the ship carrying him stopped in France. Pal and Chatto were to arrange for someone to be on land in Marseille after Savarkar jumped out of the ship and swam ashore, but they weren't the most competent planners.

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

Now Chatto is a story unto himself.

A long time friend of Pal's from Bengal, Chatto was Sarojini Naidu's brother. He would leave England after the Savarkar episode and turn communist, becoming the architect of the Berlin Committee. He was executed by Stalin in the Great Purge.

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

While in custody, Savarkar tells Pal and Virendranath Chattopadhyaya (aka Chatto) to get a couple of thugs (who Savarkar met in jail) to break him out when he is being transported to court.

The plan fails, the thugs take the money and beat up the clueless duo.

Dhingra carries out the assassination, but the letter is confiscated. Savarkar escapes to Paris, but later returns. A copy of the letter Dhingra is to read is found on Savarkar, who is then jailed, to be transported to the Andamans

[joyojeet pal @joyopal]

Pal and Savarkar drop Dhingra to Notting Hill station, from where he is to go forth and commit the assassination. Savarkar tells Dhingra not to show his face again if he fails to carry out the assassination.

An excerpt from Dhingra's biography:
