Janakinath Bose (May 28, 1860–1938) was a Bengali-speaking Indian lawyer and advocate, who was the father of Indian independence leader Subhas Chandra Bose.[1][2]
Education and career
The fourth son of Harnath Bose, he was born on May 28, 1860 in village Kodalia, in the present South 24 Parganas district.[3] He passed his matriculation examination from the Albert School and was subsequently educated at the Scottish Church College, and at the Ravenshaw College, from where he graduated. Subsequently he studied law at the University of Calcutta.[1]
During his stay in Calcutta, he came in contact with leaders of the Brahmo Samaj, and was deeply influenced by their vision. In 1885, he joined the bar in the court of Cuttack, where he practised, and went on to become an advocate.[1]
His career as an advocate made him come in contact with various religious, and political personalities of the Indian Independence movement. He passed many of his ideals and values to his sixth son Subhas, at a very young age.[1]
Personal life
He was married to Prabhavati Devi, who would play a substantial role in the education of their eight sons and six daughters, including barrister Sarat Chandra Bose (1889 – 1950) and Subhas Chandra Bose (1897 -1945).[1]
