Sachindranath's was born in Benar as in 1893. His ancestry was in Hooghly due to which he developed contact with revolutionaries early in his life. In 1913 when he was only 20 he opened up a Anushilan Samiti branch in Patna. Only 20 ! Let that sink in.

& helped him hatching in this conspiracy. Police started looking for both. Rasbehari escaped to Japan while Sanyal was eventually arrested & put into life sentence in the Andaman. There he wrote, "life in captivity" which became a must read among revolutionaris.

He was released later but he continued with his anti-British activities. To punish him British govt confiscated his ancestral home in Kashi. That failed to stop him. Meanwhile, a new leader began rising in the Indian political scene. Mahatma Gandhi.

Young men such as Bhagat singh, Chandrasekhar Azad & Rajendranath lahiri joined it. While Sanyal was a firm Hindu, some associates became attracted towards Marxism.
Then Kakori conspiracy case happened. This time Brits sent him to the Andaman, again. He was put through inhuman torture. He became severely weakened as a result he was released into Naini central prison in 1937.
