Explanation

The Barrah dacoity was a 1908 political dacoity organised by the Dacca branch of the Anushilan Samiti under Pulin Behari Das in Dhaka district (Barrah), East Bengal. Contemporary accounts state the raid was conducted in broad daylight on the zamindar’s residence to raise funds and procure arms for revolutionary activities, marking it as the first major venture of revolutionary terrorists in that region. The event is repeatedly cited in histories of Bengal revolutionary activity as the inaugural large-scale operation by Dacca Anushilan, linking the incident specifically to East Bengal rather than Punjab, Bombay‑Karnataka or Madras Presidency [1].
