Pandit ram prasad bismil biography of albert

In July 1995, the Nehru Memorial Library sent me a letter. It said, in part:

"We are publishing the selected works of Acharya Narendra Dev. In a statement Acharyaji has referred to the treatment meted out to your father, Shri Bhupendra Nath Sanyal, by the Agra jail authorities, when he was there in 1941, We want to give his bio-data in the book. Despite our best efforts we could not get his date and place of death, I enclose copy of the bio-data we have prepared, but I am not satisfied with it. His role in our freedom movement was significant."

Letter from Nehru Memorial Library, New Delhi. 1995

I wrote a lengthy reply. The rest of this article is based on my letter.

Your letter (I wrote back) triggered a whole lot of memories regarding not only my father, but my uncles as well, and the whole gamut of family relationships during my early years in Allahabad, Delhi, and Jaipur. The trouble is that no mention of my father can be made without reference to my uncles, my cousins, and my father’s friends and colleagues during the freedom movement and thereafter.

My father, Bhupendra Nath Sanyal, was born on 1st January, 1906 in Calcutta, but his early years were never spent there – the family moved to our ancestral home in Madanpura, Benaras, after the death of my grandfather

One of the most persistent messages being conveyed to youth is to contribute in meaningful and useful ways to the larger welfare and progress of the nation and society. However in order to be truly effective these messages need to be supported by what has been said by those persons for whom they have very high respect.

When we search for such inspiration figures or idols for whom students and youth of India have a lot of respect, then the name of participants in the revolutionary stream of the freedom  figure very prominently in this list. This list is of course led by  Shahid Bhagat Singh who is the most widely known and respected revolutionary freedom fighter among youth today.

Apart from him we need to look particularly at those other revolutionary freedom fighters ( like Ramprasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan) who were profilic writers and so have left behind several documents, poems and songs which give us a good idea of the message they wanted to convey and leave behind them. A large number of youth admire them and also are familiar with them through exciting films like Rang De Basanti but at the same time perhaps several of them have not gone more deeply into the essential content of their messages.

It is interesting and useful to know that while revolutionary freedom fighters encourage and inspire the youth to work for their country and for the overall welfare of society, they do not want them to take a gun in hand to correct any injustice. In fact they caution them against this path. They want them to be close to the concerns of the weaker sections and to work for the welfare of exploited workers and farmers and to help them in numerous ways on a longer-term basis.

Bismil also suggests more practical ways of how youth can take up those means of livelihood which do not conflict with this higher and noble objective of life. These revolutionaries tell youth not to take an oversimplified and di

Movement to end British rule in India

For independence movements of indigenous American people, see Native American self-determination.

The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events in South Asia with the ultimate aim of ending British colonial rule. It lasted until 1947, when the Indian Independence Act 1947 was passed.

The first nationalistic movement for Indian independence emerged in the Province of Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking the right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more economic rights for natives. The first half of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards self-rule.

The stages of the independence struggle in the 1920s were characterised by the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Congress's adoption of Gandhi's policy of non-violence and civil disobedience. Some of the leading followers of Gandhi's ideology were Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Maulana Azad, and others. Intellectuals such as Rabindranath Tagore, Subramania Bharati, and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay spread patriotic awareness. Female leaders like Sarojini Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Pritilata Waddedar, and Kasturba Gandhi promoted the emancipation of Indian women and their participation in the freedom struggle.

Few leaders followed a more violent approach, which became especially popular after the Rowlatt Act, which permitted indefinite detention. The Act sparked protests across India, especially in the Punjab Province, where they were violently suppressed in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

The Indian independence movement was in constant ideological evolution. Essentially anti-colonial, it was supplemented by visions of independent, economic development with a secular, democratic, republican, and civil-libertarian political structure. After the 1930s, the movement to

Edgar Albert Guest (20 August 1881 – 5 August 1959) was a British-born American poet who was popular in the first half of the 20th century and became known as the People's Poet. His poems often had an inspirational and optimistic view of everyday life.
