Gopabandhu Das - by Shreeram Chandra Das (1976)

One of the very early freedom fighters yet quite unknown to the India at large. The man who brought congress to Orissa and started the nationalistic movement for one India in Orissa. The book is written as a consideration to how great a leader Utkalmani Gopabandhu Das was. I think important that such text be published which can influence the people of India on the contribution of Orissa to the Indian freedom movement and how some people in remote corners of the country have carried out selfless service to a mankind. A land known more for its natural calamities, deaths of hunger than its strong cultural heritage and art owes forever to this man for its existence.

A must read book for anybody to know a bit about some selfless souls of our times.
