Charu Chandra Datta (also spelled Dutt; 1877–1952) was an Indian civil servant.
Career in the Indian Civil Service
After entering the ICS, Datta was appointed as a magistrate and later served as a district judge in the Bombay Presidency. Despite his official position, he continued his clandestine involvement in revolutionary nationalist activities, operating discreetly within the colonial system.[1]
Revolutionary activities
In 1904, while posted in Thane (then in the Bombay Presidency), Datta met Sri Aurobindo, with whom he developed a close ideological association.[2]
Later life
In 1940, Datta joined the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry.[3] There, he devoted himself to educational work and is remembered for teaching children in his residence at the Ashram.
