Goswami spearheaded a formidable movement against the Mandal Commission and his act of self-immolation led to larger protests and a series of self-immolations by college students throughout India. During Mandal commission agitation, the AIIMS intersection in Delhi was temporarily renamed by students to in a celebration of his act. Subsequently, he was elected to position of the Delhi University Students' Union president. He later gave up active politics due to health problems and started his own business. In the following years he was frequently in and out of hospitals because of severe health complications resulting from his self-immolation bid. He was a resident of Gomti Apartments at Kalkaji in New Delhi. He died on 24 February 2004 at the age of 33 in Holy Family Hospital Okhla, New Delhi. His mother, Nandrani Goswami, was one of the speakers at anti reservation protests in 2006. (en)
