Chatterjee belonged to the generation of Bengali revolutionaries who emerged in the wake of the partition of Bengal in 1905 and the Swadeshi movement that followed. This period saw the formation of secret societies and revolutionary groups across Bengal, which sought to challenge British authority through organised underground activity.
He was associated with the Jugantar (Yugantar) revolutionary network, one of the two principal revolutionary organisations in Bengal alongside Anushilan Samiti. Members of these groups engaged in clandestine work, including the collection of funds and arms for revolutionary purposes, and faced surveillance, arrest, and imprisonment by the colonial authorities.
Amarendranath Chatterjee is counted among the lesser-known but committed participants of the Bengal revolutionary tradition, which contributed to the broader Indian independence movement. The activities of revolutionaries from this period influenced subsequent generations of nationalist activists in Bengal and beyond.
