Amulya Babu is Sandip's young disciple whom Sandip introduces to Bimala. Amulya is also dedicated to the Swadeshi movement, though he struggles between the goals of the movement and developing personal relationships. Bimala looks at Amulya like a son, but she and Sandip both use him in their power struggle. Bimala asks Amulya to sell her jewels to replace the 6000 rupees she steals from Nikhil. Sandip is jealous of Amulya and Bimala's affection for the boy. During the Swadeshi riot at the end of the novel, Amulya is killed by a bullet in his chest.
