Life and activity[edit]
Early life[edit]
Shibakali was born in 1905 in Calcutta (Kolkata), Bengal (now in West Bengal). His father Ashutosh Mandal had ancestral house in Kushtia town, but he later moved to Kolkata, where he worked in telegram department. During his college days he took part in the Non-Cooperation movement.[2][3]
Foundation of library and revolutionary organisation[edit]
Prior to his becoming a congress activist, Mondal was widely known in Kushtia as a social worker. He had established a very good library in the local Tarun Sangha Club of the town. The self-sacrifice of the martyr Basanta Kumar Biswas deeply influenced Shibakali's life. Mondal founded a youth organization, and inspired other youths to join the freedom movement as volunteers.[2][4]

In 1930, Mondal and his associates participated in the civil disobedience movement, hawking khaddar and breaking the law as congress workers. While participating in a rally, he was wounded by gunshot by British police. He later succumbed to the injuries and died in Krishnanagar on 26 June, 1930. The day is still remembered as the Shivakali Divas in the whole of the Nadia district.[3][2][5][6]
