After a very tough matriculation, he got the job as he's the few in the district to complete matriculation, under the British Regime, as a Steno to SDO, Banka in 1941. And soon after the job, he recieved a very high profile marriage offer from one of the rich people of his village, which he refused. But when the same marriage proposal came on consideration of his Teacher, his father can't refuse and he's married at a small age of 14.
Due to travelling problem, he shifted with his father and wife to Banka Town, and after getting his first salary, he bought a piece of land, and start building his house, but the Yadav's didn't let him too easily, and had to fight a legal case to get his land. When his boss knew about it, he send some of his men and the land came to him, and he build his small house there.
His duty was little hard. He went to office early, and return back at late night. He'd very limited time for the family. So, his wife, Swarnalata Ghose being a panchvi pass, started quarreling some time. But my grandfather had no effect on him. He continued his routine.
Soon, Quit India Movement under the supervision of Father of the Nation, MAHATMA GANDHI began, and in Banka, all the Government's holdings were nearly burnt. But still, he was inside and working for the bloddy Britishers, but he followed the principle of "Work is Worship". He's hurt sometimes, when he'd be caught by some of the activists. He remained hospitalized for three days due to a mass breakup in his office, breaking the glasses, and hitting him directly on his head.
After few months, he'd a daughter when his wife gave birth to a baby girl in his village, but soon she died. Everyone tells a hag had a bad look at her, which had taken her life. People used to call it to avoid the reality of bad medical services in the villages. We feared her now also when we go to our paternal house. The grief struck the family keeping my gramma devastated.The Dayan Pratha is still there in our socitey,killing many innocent girls, just due to some bad evils.
After few years, with the complete nation, he faced the riot between Hindus and Muslims. He's just able to save himself and his family, from those riots, with the help of some strong Yadav's who he'd helped to provide the loans, and all the paperwork to save them, helped him to go underground at the peak of its riot.
His helping nature made him famous with the name Ghose Babu in the complete town. And finally, on Aug 15, 1947 when the country was freed, he's freed of the feeling of working for Britishers.
