Chittaranjan Das (C.R.Das) (Bengali: চিত্তরঞ্জন দাস Chittorônjon Dash) (better known as Deshbandhu "Friend of the country") (November 5, 1870 - June 16, 1925) was a Bengali diplomat and an officer in the Indian liberation movement.
Educated in England, his public service career began in 1909 when he successfully defended Aurobindo Ghosh's involvement in last year's Alipore case.
He was a leading figure in Bengal during the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1919-1922, and began the British clothing ban, setting an example by burning his European clothes and taking "desi" Khadi clothes.
He published a newspaper called Phambili and later changed his name to Liberty to fight British Raj. When Calcutta Corporation was formed, he became its first mayor. He has resigned as president of the Indian National Congress at the Gaya conference after losing the "No Coming Council" proposal to Gandhi's party. He then formed the Swaraj Party, with Motilal Nehru, to express his immodest views.
He believed in non-violent and unconstitutional ways to achieve national liberation, and promoted social cohesion and promoted the goal of national education. His legacy was further developed by his students, and especially Subhash Chandra Bose.
He is often referred to by the venerable Desh Bandhu which means "national partner."
He belonged to the famous Das family of Telirbagh, Bikrampur, Dhaka, now in Bangladesh. He was the son of Bhuban Mohan Das, and the nephew of Brahmo social reformer Durga Mohan Das. Among his best-known cousins were: Satish Ranjan Das, Sudhi Ranjan Das, Sarala Roy and Lady Abala Bose.
