Unlike the majority of Bengalee agitators, the writers in the _Yugantar_, it must be admitted, did not flinch from the danger of practising what they taught.

Most of them came ultimately within the grasp of the Criminal Code, and Barendra Ghose, who was arrested in connexion with the manufacture of bombs in the Maniktolla garden, was sentenced to death, though subsequently reprieved.

His brother, Arabindo, on the other hand, though arrested at the same time, had the good fortune to be acquitted.

The work done by the _Yugantar_ lived, nevertheless, after it, and is still living.
A very heavy responsibility must at the same time attach to those responsible both at home and in India for the extraordinary tolerance too long extended to this criminal propaganda.

For two whole years it was carried on with relative impunity under the very eyes of the Government of India in Calcutta.
