Inspired by Swami Vivekananda, Jatin expressed his ideals in simple words: ""Amra morbo, jaat jagbe"" — "We shall die to awaken the nation". It is corroborated in the tribute paid to Jatin by Charles Tegart, the Intelligence Chief and Police Commissioner of Bengal: "Though I had to do my duty, I have a great admiration for him. He died in an open fight." Later in life, Tegart admitted: "Their driving power (...) immense: if the army could be raised or the arms could reach an Indian port, "the British would lose the War"". Professor Tripathi analysed the added dimensions revealed by the Howrah Case proceedings: acquire arms locally and abroad; raise a guerrilla; create a rising with Indian soldiers; "Jatin Mukherjee's action helped improve (especially economically) the people's status". "He had indeed an ambitious dream."
