Chittagong Armoury Raid 1930: Surya Sen's Uprising Against British Rule

On the night of 18 April 1930, a schoolteacher and some sixty-five young revolutionaries seized Chittagong's armouries, cut the city off from British India and proclaimed a provisional government — but the ammunition was never found.
