'''Barindra Kumar Ghosh''' or '''Barindra Ghosh''', or, popularly, '''Barin Ghosh''' (5 January 1880 – 18 April 1959) was an Indian revolutionary and journalist. He was one of the founding members of [[Jugantar]] Bengali weekly, a revolutionary outfit in [[Bengal]]. Barindra Ghosh was a younger brother of [[Sri Aurobindo]].

==Early life==
Barindra Ghosh was born at [[Croydon]], near London on 5 January 1880 although his ancestral village was [[Konnagar]] in [[Hooghly District]] of present-day [[West Bengal]].<ref name = "Bandyopadhyay6">Bandyopadhyay, Amritalal, ''Rishi Aurobindo'', 1964, Biswas Publishing House, p. 6</ref>
His father, Dr. Krishnadhan Ghosh, was a physician and district surgeon. His mother Swarnalata was the daughter of the [[Brahmo]] religious and social reformer, scholar [[Rajnarayan Basu]]. Revolutionary and a spiritualist in later life, [[Aurobindo Ghosh]] was Barindranath's third elder brother. His second elder brother, [[Manmohan Ghose]], was a scholar of English literature, a poet and professor of English at [[Presidency College, Calcutta]] and at [[Dhaka University]]. He also had an elder sister named Sarojini Ghosh.

Barindranath attended school in [[Deoghar]], and after passing the entrance examination in 1901, joined [[Patna College]]. He received military training in [[Baroda]]. During this time, (late 19th century – early 20th century) Barin was influenced by Aurobindo and drawn towards the revolutionary movement.
