TitleExtract letter by an unidentified correspondent, regarding Meghnad Saha
Date23 April 1925
DescriptionDetails Meghnad Saha's activities on the continent in 1921, when he 'advised Indian students intending the proceed to Germany to correspond with the Secretary of the Association of Indian Students in Berlin, which is an organisation controlled by a well known revolutionary'. Also informs the reader that in Calcutta, Saha 'was a regular recipient of the literature of the well known Bolshevik - M. N. Roy - and he sheltered M. N. Roy's emissary, Nalini Gupta (convicted in the Cawnpore Bolshevik Case), while the latter was concealing his presence in India in 1923'. However, gets the impression now that 'while [Saha is] secretly in sympathy with the aims and activities of revolutionaries, he has not sufficient courage to jeopardize his brilliant prospects as a professor by deliberately participating in the Revolutionary Movement'.
