Jogesh Chandra Ghosh

Jogesh Chandra Ghosh (Bengali: যোগেশচন্দ্র ঘোষ; 1887 – 4 April 1971) was a scholar, Ayurveda practitioner, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

The Ayurvedic medicine of Sadhana Aushadhalaya became popular and branches were opened in Bengal and other parts of British India.

[4] After retirement, Ghosh stayed in his Dhaka residence and oversaw the activities of Sadhana Aushadhalaya, located at 21 Dinanath Sen Road in Gendaria.

During the 1964 East Pakistan anti-hindu riots, he sheltered the Bengali Hindus from the neighborhood in the factory of Sadhana Aushadhalaya.

[3] In 1971, when the Pakistan Military launched Operation Searchlight and began killing the civilian population in Dhaka, Ghosh too was targeted.

On 4 April, the Pakistan Army led by a Peace Committee member entered the premises of Sadhana Aushadhalaya on look out for rebels.

Four Pakistan Army soldiers forced Ghosh to move upstairs in his office, where he was shot dead.
