==Early life and background==<br />
Bipin Chandra Pal was born in the village of [[Habiganj Sadar Upazila#Administration|Poil]], [[Habiganj District|Habiganj]], [[Sylhet region|Sylhet District]], [[Bengal Presidency]] of British India, in a [[Hindu]] [[Bengali Kayastha]] family.<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia Of Indian War Of Independence (1857–1947)|quote=Bipin Chandra Pal (1858–1932) a patriot, nationalist politician, renowned orator, journalist, and writer.

Singh|year=2009|page=130|publisher= Anmol Publications}}</ref> His father was Ramchandra Pal, a [[Farsi|Persian]] scholar, and small landowner. He studied and taught at the Church Mission Society College (now the [[St. Paul's Cathedral Mission College]]), an affiliated college of the [[University of Calcutta]].<ref name=Alumni>{{Cite web|url=http://www.stpaulscmcollege.org/alumni-association.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925080918/http://www.stpaulscmcollege.org/alumni-association.html|url-status=dead|title=List of distinguished alumni|archive-date=25 September 2012|access-date=22 December 2019}}</ref> His son was [[Niranjan Pal]], one of the founders of [[Bombay Talkies]].

As revolutionary as he was in politics, Pal was the same in his private life as well. After his first wife died, he married a widow and joined the [[Brahmo Samaj]].<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://theprint.in/features/bipin-chandra-pal-as-much-a-revolutionary-in-politics-as-in-his-private-life/146215/|title=Bipin Chandra Pal: As much a revolutionary in politics, as in his private life|date=12 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112004218/https://theprint.in/features/bipin-chandra-pal-as-much-a-revolutionary-in-politics-as-in-his-private-life/146215/|access-date=21 March 2020|archive-date=12 January 2020}}</ref><br />

Pal is known as the ''Father of Revolutionary Thoughts'' in India and was one of the freedom fighters of India.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69M3Bqe-WRc|title=Bipin Chandra Pal|date=19 May 2014|work=youtube}}</ref> Pal became a major leader of the Indian National Congress. At the Madras session of Indian National Congress held in 1887, Bipin Chandra Pal made a strong plea for repeal of the Arms Act which was discriminatory in nature. Along with [[Lala Lajpat Rai]] and [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] he belonged to the [[Lal Bal Pal|Lal-Bal-Pal]] trio that was associated with revolutionary activity. [[Sri Aurobindo|Sri Aurobindo Ghosh]] and Pal were recognised as the chief exponents of a new national movement revolving around the ideals of [[Purna Swaraj]], [[Swadeshi]], boycott and national education. His programme consisted of Swadeshi, boycott and national education. He preached and encouraged the use of Swadeshi and the boycott of foreign goods to eradicate poverty and unemployment. He wanted to remove social evils from the form and arouse the feelings of nationalism through national criticism. He had no faith in mild protests in the form of non-cooperation with the British colonial government. On that one issue, the assertive nationalist leader had nothing common with [[Mahatma Gandhi]]. During the last six years of his life, he parted company with the Congress and led a secluded life. Sri Aurobindo referred to him as one of ''mightiest prophets of nationalism''. Bipin Chandra Pal made his efforts to remove social and economic ills. He opposed caste system and advocated widow remarriage. He advocated 48 hours of work week and demanded for the hike in wages of workers. He expressed his disdain for Gandhi's ways, which he criticised for being rooted in “magic” instead of “logic”.<ref name="auto"/><br />

As a journalist, Pal worked for ''Bengal Public Opinion'', [[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|''The Tribune'']] and ''New India'', where he propagated his brand of nationalism.<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://studentsmorningstar.com/Books.aspx|title=Total History & Civics|last=Sequeira|first=Dolly|publisher=Morning Star (A unit of MSB Publishers Pvt.

In one of his writings, describing where the future danger for India will come from, Pal wrote under the title "Our Real Danger".<ref>{{Cite book|title=Uneasy neighbours : India and China after 50 years of the war|last=Madhav|first=Ram|publisher=New Delhi: Har-Anand Publications|year=2014|isbn=978-81-241-1788-0|pages=10, 11, 12}}</ref><br />
