Keshab was a prominent Indian revolutionary belonging to [[Hindustan Republican Association]] (HRA, became the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association or HSRA in 1928) that was created to carry out revolutionary activities against the [[British Empire in India]].<ref name="Shrikrishan1999">{{cite book|author=Shrikrishan Saral|title=Indian revolutionaries: a comprehensive study, 1757-1961| year=1999|publisher=Ocean Books|isbn=978-81-87100-19-5|pages=103–}}</ref><br />
