REVOLUTIONARY CHANDRA SHEKHAR AZAD
We all know Chandrashekhar Azad. Azad was born on 23rd July, 1906, in the village, Bhavra, in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. His father was Pandit Sitarm Tiwari and his mother was Smt. Jagrani Devi. The financial conditions of his father were not so good, and hence Azad spent his days more or less without any restraints, or duties and passed his days happily in childhood plays and pranks. He found pleasure in putting gun-powder in his toys and then firing the same. He was very naughty indeed.

The whole country then was in the grip of ‘Non-cooperation Movement’. Azad also left studies and joined this Movement and also was engaged in its publicity work. He was accused of being a traitor. The way he clearly and fearlessly gave answers to the English Judge in the court made the latter very angry. Azad was given the punishment of caning. The cane lashed against his again and again and at last he fainted. But as long as he was having his sense he sang the song “Bande Matoram” (Holy Homage to the Mother) and became famous all at once through this incident.

He was also involved in the killing of Saunders of Lahore and the throwing of bomb in the Assembly. Therefore, the British were after him and wanted to capture him at any cost. Some of
