Remembering the valiant son of Bharat Mata, the remarkable Chandra Shekhar Azad on his Jayanti. During the prime of his youth he immersed himself in freeing India from the clutches of imperialism. He was also a futuristic thinker, and dreamt of a strong and just India.

Notably, Chandra Shekhar Azad had vowed never to be captured by police and remain “azad” (free). Even after being surrounded by police following an encounter, he shot himself and died at the young age of 24 years in 1931.
Born in 1856, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a pioneering leader of the Indian freedom movement and his concept of “swaraj” (self-rule) caught people’s imagination.
