Contributions of Indian Freedom Fighters

The struggle of Indian freedom fighters is always motivated and it’s important to know about them to the children. The lives of India's great freedom fighters weren't important to them. They dedicated their entire lives to serving India. We will discover more about India's freedom fighters and their contributions to the nation in this article.

The Best CBSE Schools in India always focus on knowing more about the country which helps students to level up their general knowledge.

Some of the Notable Indian Freedom Fighters

Kunwar Singh

Kunwar Singh includes Veer Kunwar Singh and Veer Babu Kunwar Singh. He was born November 13, 1777, and died April 26, 1858. He is a native of the Bihar district in Ujjainiya Kaln Bhojpura. He was responsible for planning the battle in Bihar against the British.

Lala Lajpat Rai

Lala Lajpat Rai, also known as Punjab Kesari, was a brilliant writer, politician, and independence fighter. He was one of the trio Lal Bal Pal, which consisted of three people. The Story of My Deportation, USA: A Hindu Impression, and Arya Samaj are among his most well-known works.

Bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh, a charismatic revolutionary who died on March 23, 1931, took part in the mistaken murder of a young British policeman in retaliation for the murder of an Indian nationalist. He later took part in the symbolic bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi and went on a hunger strike while in detention, which led to positive coverage in Indian newspapers and made him well-known in the Punjab region.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, also known as Sardar (October 31, 1875 – December 15, 1950), was an Indian jurist, prominent politician, lawyer, and statesman. He has served as the First Minister of Home Affairs of India and the First Deputy Minister. He goes by the nicknames "IRON MAN OF INDIA" and "CONNECTOR OF INDIA."

According to a UN statement, his birthday, October 2, is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti in India and as "International Day of Non-Violence" (Antarrashtriya Ahimsa Diwas) around the world. It was conceived by Putali Bai and Karamchand Gandhi. In politics, he looked up to Gopal Krishna Gokhale. Indian Opinion, Harijan, and Young India are some of his most famous works. He is known by the names "BAPU" and "GANDHIJI".

Kamala Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru's wife Kamala actively participated in the liberation struggle. In addition to organizing the Tax Waiver Campaign in the United Provinces, she helped organize rallies and pickets for liquor stores and foreign clothing stores.

I feel like not enough people talk about how Subhash Chandra Bose basically had wartime alliances with Nazi Germany. So yes, not even Indian freedom fighters who opposed British colonization are beyond criticism, when it comes to the methods they chose. Freedom fighters can also be incredibly problematic and it is not wrong for people to say that they don't support them. And it is not wrong to criticize them. It is okay to condemn them. One can understand that it was their oppression that had a role to play in leading them to this path, and still not support it.

The year was 1950, the young nation of India celebrated it's first Republic Day.

India’s first Republic Day began with C Rajagopalachari proclaiming India a Sovereign Democratic Republic at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Today, for the first time in our long and chequered history,”he said “We find the whole of this vast land brought together under the jurisdiction of one consititution of one union which takes over responsibility for the welfare of more than 320 million men and women who inhabit it.”

- Dr Rajendra Prasad taking the oath as India’s first President

The chief guest on occasion was Indonesian President Dr Sukarno. On Nehru’s request, Delhi University had organised a special convocation to confer an honorary PhD on Sukarno. One moment to be remembered from this ceremony was the riveting role reversal between two of Asia’s charismatic leaders. It was common practice for Nehru to conclude his speeches by shouting Jai Hind. Then, he would say “Louder!” and the crowd would satisfy his demand.

A cartoon from HT published on 24 January showing Chairman of the Drafting Committee (and later Law Minister) B R Ambedkar holding an infant Republic of India while Mother India lays in bed exhausted from labour. Around him stand Dr Rajendra Prasad and Nehru, looking anxiously.

A 31-gun salute welcomed Dr Prasad to the first ever Republic Day celebrations. Dr Prasad proceeded to take a round of the amphitheatre, this time in a jeep, while saluting the 3,000 armed forces that had gathered there, after which he hoisted the tricolour, our national flag for the very first time. Another memorable speech by him was in the offing.

Nearby, in Connaught Place, people of all age groups thronged the streets and crowded restaurants; shops remained illuminated through the day while the Rashtrapati Bhavan lit up at night, marking yet another first of a custom followed till this day. The atmosphere was electric and the spirit of freedom, infectious. India was the first Commonwealth country to have entirely come into its own; it was the biggest national ceremony of the 20th century.

P. S. Guys I really don't know if this goes with algorithm of Tumblr but as an Indian I believe, completing 74 years of republic & democratic dominion is a great milestone and as a proud indian and true patriot, I loved making this post.

So,

HAPPY 74th REPUBLIC DAY 🇮🇳

७४ गणतंत्र दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं 🇮🇳

Quit India Movement: A Glorious Tribute To India’s Quest for Freedom

As we mark the 80th Anniversary of Quit India, history mirrors sacrifice and unity, resonating through time. The movement's essence, from the "Do or Die" spirit to unwavering resilience, epitomizes India's unwavering pursuit of freedom.

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the August Kranti Din or Quit India Movement holds significance in history’s intricate tapestry. Threads of resonance traverse time, imprinting a nation’s consciousness. The movement, symbolizing India’s emotional fight for freedom, stands as a profound chapter. This anniversary explores the mosaic of events that shaped and left an enduring legacy on the Quit India Movement.

The Call For Freedom

As the sands of time converged on August 8, 2022, India celebrated 80 years since the inception of the Quit India Movement, an epochal milestone etched in history. Famously known as the August Kranti, this movement was a clarion call reverberating through the nation’s heart. On that fateful day in 1942, the venerable Mahatma Gandhi summoned the spirit of the Indian populace, encouraging them to “Do or Die for Independence.” Like a clarion call, his words stirred a nation’s soul, awakening a resolve that would resonate through generations.

Unfurling The Movement

Within the heart of this movement lay an ardent desire to unshackle India from the chains of British colonialism. On August 8, 1942, Mahatma Gandhi, standing before a sea of expectant faces at the Mumbai session of the All-India Congress Committee, launched the Quit India Movement. In his impassioned speech at the August Kranti Maidan, often called the Gowalia Tank Maidan, the Mahatma’s rallying cry echoed: “Do or Die for Independence.” The flag of India was hoisted by the resolute Aruna Asaf Ali, a symbol of the nation’s genuine aspiration for self-governance.

The Quit India Movement’s fervor was further kindled by the rallying cries of visionaries like Yusuf Meherally, who coined the potent slogans of “Quit India” and “Simon Go Back.” A clarion call was issued to the British overlords, a plea for the bestowal of India’s long-overdue independence.

Catalysts And Consequences

The catalyst for this movement was the disappointment that stemmed from the Cripps Mission, a diplomatic endeavor that fell short of India’s yearning for complete sovereignty. Dispatched by Stafford Cripps, this mission was intended to address India’s constitutional aspirations, but it offered mere Dominion Status coupled with partition. This disillusionment sowed the seeds of the Quit India Movement, a watershed moment in the annals of India’s struggle for freedom.

However, the narrative of the movement had its complexities. While envisaged as a nonviolent crusade, sporadic instances of violence punctuated the movement’s course. Moreover, the unity envisioned across factions was not fully realized, as the Muslim League, Hindu Mahasabha, and Communist Party of India withheld their endorsement. This rift enabled the British administration to suppress the movement through forceful means.

A note: I know annoying Desis are going to see this and go "Oh but Kashmir is Pakistan's because-" and "Kashmir is an integral part of India because-". I must make my stance clear: Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris, the natives, no matter what religion they belong to. Neither Pakistan nor India get to decide the matter of Kashmiri sovereignty. The reasons given by both parties as to why Kashmir should be a part of either nation are bullshit. The United Nations itself recognises Kashmir as a disputed region, so I will not entertain dumbfuckery. I highly encourage fellow Indians especially to take the time to go through and properly understand the violence the government enacts on Kashmiris. I've also included links to learn more about Kashmiri culture because really, what do the rest of us know about it? Culturally and linguistically Kashmir differs so much from the rest of India and Pakistan (also the amount of fetishization of Kashmiri women...yikes). This is not just a bilateral issue between these two nations over land, this actually affects the people of Kashmir. And if you're still here, thank you for reading

Jesus wasn't Palestinian you dumb heretic. Palestine didn't exist yet. The Palestinian people didn't exist yet. Read the fucking bible. Dumbass

(what anon's responding to)

This is going to sound sarcastic but i mean it genuinely: i love getting called a heretic by randos online. helps me know i'm doing some things right!

In honor of Jesus the Palestinian Jew, here's an excerpt from a sermon (which you can read / listen to in full over here) I wrote back in June on how Jesus's direct identification with those the world calls "least" in Matthew 25 empowers (and challenges) us to envision him as literally one with all who are denigrated, disenfranchised, executed by Empire — as Palestinians are today.

...In proclaiming himself not only kin with the world’s outcasts, but literally one with each and every one of them, Jesus empowers us to imagine him in ever newer, ever more expansive ways. He empowered Black theologian James Cone to declare that Christ is Black, and that every time a Black person is lynched, Christ is re-crucified with them. He empowered disability theologian Nancy Eiesland to declare that God is disabled – to envision the throne of God as a wheelchair, and to point out how the wounds with which Christ rose would have impaired his movement. He empowered gay artist Maxwell Lawton to paint Christ with AIDS lesions, and photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin to depict Christ’s resurrection wounds as transgender top surgery scars. Though some have decried all these images of Christ as blasphemous, it was Jesus himself who told us that he is one with those whom the world denies food, safety, medical care, freedom, and love...

btw if anyone has other examples of theologians declaring Christ a member of a marginalized group it's my fave thing so please add on. Another great one is S. Yesu Suresh' declaration that Christ is Dalit (the "untouchable" class in India).
