Sir Prafulla Chandra Rây (P.C. Rây) had a pertinent contribution in the preparation and characterization of chemical bombs and explosives for the Indian revolutionaries in British India. His secret but active cooperation in militant nationalism should be respectfully remembered. He had a very good relationship with moderate leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and extremist leaders like Pulin Bihari Das and others. He along with some of his students helped the revolutionaries to understand the proper scientific way behind the preparation, characterization and safe handling of chemical bombs as well as explosives, which in turn paved the way to our long-cherished independence in a very silent way.
