If you think modern romance is complicated, lean in for the story of Ullaskar Dutt and Leela Pal ( the daughter of the legendary freedom fighter Bipin Chandra Pal). It is a real life tale of revolution, unmatched cruelty, missed letters, and a love that literally defied time.
​Here is the breakdown of a love story burned by revolution but bound forever.
​Back in the early 1900s, Bengal was buzzing with anti-colonial protests. Ullaskar was a brilliant chemistry student at Presidency College with a fiery streak . He was literally expelled for hitting a British professor who insulted Bengalis. He crossed paths with Leela, and they fell deeply in love. But Ullaskar wasn’t just a student, he became the master bomb maker for the revolutionary group "Jugantar".
​In 1908, Ullaskar was arrested in the famous Alipore Bomb Case. Initially sentenced to death, his punishment was commuted to life imprisonment at the notorious Kala Pani (Cellular Jail) in the Andamans. The British subjected him to horrific torture, including electrocution, which caused him to lose his sanity. Through years of isolation and hallucinations, he kept seeing visions of Leela. He even wrote a book later about his prison life, calling her simply "She",
protecting her identity while keeping her alive in his thoughts.
​Leela never forgot him. She wrote to him constantly, but the prison guards handed Ullaskar only a single letter in over a decade. Receiving no replies, and with released prisoners telling her that Ullaskar was no longer at Cellular Jail, Leela was heartbrokenly convinced he had died. Eventually, she tried to move on with her life, got married, and moved away.
​When Ullaskar was finally released in 1920, the first thing he did was ask about Leela, only to find out she was married and living in Bombay. Heartbroken but desperate for closure, he traveled to Bombay to find her. When they finally met, the crushing truth came out - she thought he was dead, and he thought she had forgotten him. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but with heavy hearts, they had to part ways again. Ullaskar threw himself right back into the freedom struggle and ended up in jail again in 1931.
​Decades passed. India gained independence in 1947, and life took its toll. By the 1950s, Leela’s husband had passed away, leaving her widowed, physically challenged, and undergoing prolonged treatment at a Calcutta hospital. Ullaskar, now an old man who had lived a lonely life, tracked her down.
​In a world that had completely changed, their love hadn't. Decades after they first fell in love as young revolutionaries, Ullaskar married his childhood sweetheart, Leela. He took her away to a quiet life in Silchar, Assam, tenderly looking after her until his final days.
​Today marks the death anniversary of this forgotten revolutionary. Ullaskar Dutt faced the most brutal British torture but never wrote a single mercy petition yet people today have forgotten him, while hailing the man who wrote nine.

This is the story of a people and their long march toward freedom.

What an honor to hear my Nobel Peace Prize 2025 acceptance speech in the voice of my daughter — and to know that very soon, I’ll be able to embrace her and my family again.

Pedro Opeka, an exceptional missionary 🇸🇮 of Slovenian descent, received the Legion of Honor (officier) from President Emmanuel Macron in Antananarivo . Recognition for his long-standing dedication and help to the most vulnerable. An inspiration for us all.

Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti

Living in favourable and unfavourable situations is called “Part of Life”.
But smiling in all these situations is called “Art of Life”. Don’t wait things to get easier, simpler, better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy right now. Otherwise you’ll run out of tim

I’ve always drawn inspiration from what Dr. King called life’s most persistent and urgent question: "What are you doing for others?" Let’s honor his legacy by standing up for what is right in our communities and taking steps to make a positive impact on the world.

Takole ponosno se je pred zemljevid domovine postavil moj stric Pavel. V več letnem projektu je z GPS koordinatami fotodokumentiral in na zemljevidu označil vseh 2364 slovenskih cerkva (glej drobne pike), kar je svetovni rekord na število prebivalcev. Vesele božične praznike!
