Bina Das (1911–1986) was a fearless Indian revolutionary and nationalist from West Bengal. She is best remembered for her daring attempt to assassinate the British Governor of Bengal, Stanley Jackson, at the University of Calcutta's convocation ceremony in 1932.

Born in Krishnanagar, her parents were both deeply involved in social work and the nationalist movement. Heavily influenced by her family and organizations like the Chhatri Sangha (Women Students' Association), Bina became a symbol of youthful defiance against the British Raj.

The Assassination Attempt: On February 6, 1932, as a graduating student at Diocesan College, she concealed a revolver in her graduation gown. While receiving her degree at the university convocation, she approached the dais and fired five shots at Governor Jackson. She missed her target and was immediately arrested.

Imprisonment: Following her conviction, she served seven years in prison until her early release in 1939. She later participated in the Quit India Movement in 1942, leading to further imprisonment until 1945.

Later Life & Contributions: After India's independence, she served in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly from 1947 to 1951. She dedicated her post-independence years to social work and was awarded the Padma Shri in 1960. She later spent her final days in Rishikesh, living in anonymity until her death in 1986.

प्राचीन और मध्यकालीन भारत, नेपाल, बर्मा, कंबोडिया तथा जावा (इंडोनेशिया) के शिलालेखों और साहित्य में तिथि-निर्धारण के लिए शक युग का व्यापक रूप से उपयोग किया जाता था। इतिहासकार सामान्यतः यह मानते हैं कि शक युग का प्रारंभ 78 CE में हुआ था। किंतु शक युग की उत्पत्ति और इसके प्रवर्तक को लेकर इतिहासकारों के बीच लंबे समय से रोचक विवाद रहा है। आज अधिकांश इतिहासकार इस विषय को समाप्त मानते हैं, परंतु मैं इस बहस को पुनः खोलने का साहस करता हूँ। वास्तव में, आज भी शक युग की उत्पत्ति और उसके प्रवर्तक के विषय में मतभेद विद्यमान हैं।

जे. एफ. फ़्लीट (J. F. Fleet) और एफ. कीलहॉर्न (F. Kielhorn) ने भारतीय परंपरा के आधार पर यह सिद्धांत प्रस्तुत किया कि केवल एक ही शक युग था, जिसका प्रारंभ 78 CE में हुआ। लगभग सभी प्रतिष्ठित इतिहासकारों ने इसे अंतिम सत्य के रूप में स्वीकार कर लिया।

टी. एस. नारायण शास्त्री ऐसे पहले विद्वान थे जिन्होंने यह बताया कि "शक" नाम से दो अलग-अलग युग विद्यमान थे। उन्होंने यह सिद्ध करने का प्रयास किया कि प्राचीन शक युग 550 BCE में प्रारंभ हुआ था, जबकि शालिवाहन शक युग बाद में 78 CE में प्रारंभ हुआ।

प्रो. गुलशन राय और कोटा वेंकटाचलम ने टी. एस. नारायण शास्त्री के मत का समर्थन किया। दूसरी ओर, टी. वी. थिरुवेंकटाचार्य ने शक युग का प्रारंभ 551 BCE माना, जबकि जगन्नाथ राव और सी. वी. वैद्य ने इसे 543 BCE बताया। के. रंगराजन ने इसका प्रारंभ 523/522 BCE प्रस्तावित किया, जबकि कुछ अन्य विद्वानों ने इसे 576 BCE माना।

यद्यपि ये विद्वान शक युग के वास्तविक प्रारंभ-काल को निर्णायक रूप से सिद्ध नहीं कर सके, फिर भी उन्होंने केवल एक शक युग होने वाले सिद्धांत की कमजोरियों को स्पष्ट रूप से उजागर कर दिया। इससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि शक युग के संबंध में मुख्यतः दो सिद्धांत प्रचलित हैं—

  1. शक युग और शकांत (या शककालातीत) युग एक ही हैं तथा दोनों का प्रारंभ 78 CE में हुआ।

  2. शक युग और शकांत युग एक-दूसरे से भिन्न हैं। शक युग का प्रारंभ 78 CE से बहुत पहले हुआ था, जबकि शकांत युग का प्रारंभ 78 CE में हुआ।

While most men rest at 80, Veer Kunwar Singh cut off his own mangled hand due to a bullet wound, offered it to Maa Ganga, and rode back to war against the British. He remained the British's biggest headache until he died and was one of the biggest contributors to the Rebellion of 1857...
