Drawn by Jatin's relief work during the flood, Rasbehari Bose left Benares to join him: the contact with Jatin added a new impulse to Bose's revolutionary zeal: in Jatin, he discovered "a real leader of men" At the close of 1913, Bose met Jatin to discuss the possibilities of an All-India armed rising of 1857 type. Impressed by Jatin's "fiery energy and personality", Bose renewed negotiation with the native officers posted at the Fort William of Calcutta, the nerve centre of the various regiments of the colonial Army, before returning to Benares "to organise the scattered forces."
