Died after leading an attack at the Pahartali European Club.
On September 24, 1932, Pritilata Waddedar ended her life using poison, following a revolutionary attack she led on the Pahartali European Club in Chittagong. This act of deliberate choice was part of her commitment to avoid capture by British authorities, a common fate for her contemporaries engaged in anti-colonial actions. The attack, which took place the day before and targeted a symbol of colonial racism and exclusion, signified her unyielding opposition to oppression and is remembered as a pivotal moment in the history of India's struggle for independence. Pritilata's death at the age of just 21 left a profound impact, emphasizing the lengths to which individuals went in the quest for freedom from British rule.
