Surya Sen issued a proclamation in the name of the ‘Indian Republican Army’ in 1930.

– Surya Sen, also known as Masterda, was a revolutionary from Bengal who is best known for leading the Chittagong Armoury Raid on April 18, 1930.
– His revolutionary group was named the ‘Indian Republican Army, Chittagong Branch’.
– After successfully raiding the armouries and seizing weapons (though not ammunition), the revolutionaries gathered, hoisted the national flag, and Surya Sen issued a proclamation declaring the establishment of a provisional revolutionary government in Chittagong, effectively using the name of the ‘Indian Republican Army’.

While Sachindra Nath Sanyal founded the Hindustan Republican Association (later Hindustan Socialist Republican Association) and Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad were key figures in its later form and activities (like the Lahore Conspiracy Case and Assembly bomb throwing), the specific association with the ‘Indian Republican Army’ and the 1930 proclamation related to an armed uprising against the British in Chittagong points directly to Surya Sen.
