Chandra Shekhar Azad
February 27, 2021, marks the 90th passing commemoration of the Indian progressive Chandra Shekhar Azad.
Azad was killed on this day in 1931 in Alfred Park, Allahabad after a partner deceived him. For a long while, he held the very much equipped police that circumnavigated him under control, without any assistance with a little gun and a couple of cartridges.
Nonetheless, left with only one projectile, he shot himself in the head and satisfied his purpose that he could never be captured and hauled to the scaffold to be hanged.
The following are a few realities on the political dissident who forfeited his life for the country:
Chandra Shekhar Azad was brought into the world on July 23, 1906, in Bhavra town, Jhabua region, Madhya Pradesh to Pandit Sita Ram Tiwari and Jagrani Devi.
He got his initial tutoring in Bhavra. He went to the Sanskrit Pathashala at Varanasi for higher investigations.
Youthful Chandra Shekhar was intrigued by and attracted to the incredible public upsurge of the peaceful, non-participation development of 1920-21 under the initiative of Mahatma Gandhi.
When captured and created before the officer, he gave his name as 'Azad', his dad's name as 'Swatantra' and his home as 'jail'. The justice condemned him to 15 lashes of flagellating. The title of Azad stuck from there on.
After the withdrawal of the non-collaboration development, Azad was pulled in towards progressive exercises. He from that point joined the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA).
Azad revamped the Hindustan Republican Association under its new name of Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA) after the demise of its organizer, Ram Prasad Bismil, and three other unmistakable gathering pioneers, Roshan Singh, Rajendra Nath Lahiri and Ashfaqulla Khan.
He was engaged with the Kakori Conspiracy (1926), the endeavor to explode the Viceroy's train (1926), the Assembly bomb occurrence, the Delhi Conspiracy, the shooting of Saunders at Lahore (1928) and the Second Lahore scheme.
