Born on 03 February 1909 to Abinashchandra Ganguly and Sarala Sundara Devi in the Khulna District of the then undivided Bengal, Suhasini Ganguly was a revolutionary who dedicated her entire life to her motherland’s freedom.

Ganguly completed her matriculation at the Dhaka Eden School in the year 1924. Besides pursuing a diploma, Ganguly also began her professional career. She relocated to Calcutta to take up a teaching job at a special school for the deaf and dumb. Sources say that during her time in Calcutta, Suhasini Ganguly got acquainted with Pritilata Waddedar and Kamala Das Gupta – two renowned revolutionaries who actively encouraged her to become a part of the Jugantar revolutionary group. Soon after joining the Jugantar group, Suhasini also devoted her time to the Chattri Sangha, a semi-revolutionary student group, by helping out with the recruitment and training of new members.

Her strong bond with the Chattri Sangha and the Jugantar group connected her with like-minded individuals who possessed similar socio-political beliefs that were fuelled by an unwavering desire for freedom. In a bid to thwart the day-to-day operations of underground revolutionary groups, the British authorities conducted regular surveillance, which made it very difficult for Ganguly to operate out of Calcutta, and she came under the tight watch of the Britishers. With the British baying for the blood of these revolutionaries, many members of the Jugantar party were forced to go into hiding. It was around the period between 1928 to 1930, the imminent arrest of Suhasini Ganguly prompted her to relocate to Chandannagore, a territory that came under French control at that time.
