'''Nityanand Saha'''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shahid Bag, Nadia, West Bengal|url=https://maps123.net/en/IN/shahid-bag-p572198|access-date=2021-07-06|website=maps123.net}}</ref> (2 March 1933 – 3 August 1955) was an [[India]]n [[revolutionary]] from [[West Bengal]], known mainly for his involvement in the Satyagraha movement against the Portuguese government, to free Goa from Portuguese rule, under leader Ram Lohia. He was an active member of Janata Seva Sangh in [[Payradanga]], Nadia, West Bengal, and on 13 August 1955, he was shot dead by the Portuguese government, along with his associates Baburao Thorat and Karnail Singh.<br />
<br />
== Early life and career ==<br />
Nityanand Saha was born on 2 March 1933 in Porabari village, Tangail district of Bangladesh. He received his education at Thatya Jaburi college, and passed his matriculation exam in 1949. After the partition of India and Bangladesh, he left his homeland and settled in Preetinagar division of Payradanga town in Nadia district of West Bengal. He joined the Janata Seva Sangh of Payradanga at a young age, under Kitish Mohan Babu.<br />
<br />
==Death== <br />
He always wanted to be a martyr for his country's freedom, but after India became independent in 1947, he left his hope to be a martyr. He was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's non violence ideas and his determination to do something for his country. He joined the Satyagraha movement of Goa in 1955 to fight against the fascism of the Portuguese government in Goa. Many satyagrahis came from other parts of India to join the Goa independence movement. On 13 August 1955, a non-violent satyagraha movement started by Nityanand, with two of his associates, Baburao Thorat of Maharastra, and Karnail Singh of Punjab.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Karnail Singh: The Unsung Young Hero of Goa Liberation (By: PRAJAL SAKHARDANDE, PANAJI)|url=http://m.goanews.com/news_details.php?id=5904|access-date=2021-07-06|website=Goa News}}</ref> But the Portuguese police couldn't tolerate this movement and shot the three of them: Nityanand, Karnail Singh and Baburao Thorat. Nityanand succumbed to his injuries, and on the same day, 13 August 1955, he died in Vengurla Hospital, Goa.<br />
<br />
==Legacy== <br />
