Today
as we freely move around in our country without anyone questioning or imposing
any kinds of restrictions on us we feel satisfied and contended. But this
satisfaction is due to the efforts taken by our freedom fighters to free our
country from the British rule. Its because of our freedom fighters that today
we are enjoying are freedom. Their satyagrahas, sacrifices, and tortures have
resulted in the freedom that we enjoy today in our motherland
India. Jawaharlal Nehru is one of the most important people in the
list of Indian freedom fighters. After independence, Jawaharlal Nehru became
the first prime minister of free India. He was also the author of the famous
book “panchsheela” Nehru was extremely fond of children. They simply loved and
adored him. With his death, India lost a peerless leader of outstanding merits,
rare gifts and great qualities of head and heart.
Mahatma
Gandhi – the leader of all Indian leaders was born at porbander in Gujarat
on 2nd October. He gave the people the weapon of non-violent struggle to
fight injustice. He won freedom for India on 15th august 1947. He died on
30th January 1948. He is rightly known as the father of the nation. His
full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His father was a dewan of a princely
state and his mother, a god fearing pious lady. Gandhiji is respected all over
the world today. He shall never be forgotten.
Another
famous Indian freedom fighter is Bal Gangadhar Tilak (Lokmanya Tilak) who was
born in ratnagiri, a port in Maharashtra. His father was a teacher and a
scholar. He was a brave boy and always fought for freedom, swarajya and
self-rule. He also started two newspapers “Maratha” and “Kesari” due to which
he was sent into prison. He wanted to spread the message of swarajya through
his newspaper. He said, “swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it”. He died
on 1st august. People loved him and accepted him as their leaders and so
he was called Lokmanya Tilak.
Who
could forget Acharya Vinoba Bhave when reminded of freedom fighters? He was
born on 11th September 1895 in raigad district. His mothers name was
rukmini and his fathers name was narhari bhave. He knew 22 languages. He died
