Biography Of "Chandra Shekhar Azad"

Birth and Early life

Chandrashekhar Azad was born on 23 July 1907 in Bhabra village. His ancestors were from Badarka (present-day Unnao district) Baiswara. Azad's father, Pandit Sitaram Tiwari Samvat in 1956, left his ancestral residence Badarka during the famine and worked for the first few days in the state of Alirajpur in Madhya Pradesh and then settled in Bhabra village. The boy spent his childhood here Chandrasekhar. His mother's name was Jagarani Devi. Azad's early life was spent in the village of Bhabra in the tribal-dominated area, and during his childhood, Azad shot a lot of bow and arrow with the Bhil boys. Thus, he had learned shooting in his childhood.
The child Chandrashekhar Azad's mind now shifted from non-violent measures to liberate the country and turned to armed revolution. At that time, Banaras was a stronghold of revolutionaries. He came in contact with Manmathnath Gupta and Pranvesh Chatterjee and became a member of the revolutionary party. That group of revolutionaries was known as "Hindustan Prajatantra Sangha".

Revolutionary Activities

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre of Amritsar in 1919 gave rise to the youth of the country. Chandrasekhar was studying at that time. When Gandhiji issued the Decree of Non-Cooperation Movement in 1921, that fire broke out as a volcano and like all other students Chandrashekhar also came down on the roads. He was arrested for the first time for participating in this movement with a batch of students of his school and was sentenced to 15 sons. This incident has been mentioned by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as the story of a small boy who broke the Qaeda -

"To break such rules (law), a small boy, who was 15 or 14 years old and who called himself Azad, was punished with cane. He was stripped naked and tied with a cane ticket. As the cane used to fall on him and tear his skin, he said 'Bharat Mata ki Jai!' Used to shout With every cane, the boy kept chanting this slogan until he fainted. Later the same boy became a major leader of the revolutionary work party of North India."

Chandrasekhar Azad made Jhansi his stronghold for a set time. He used to shoot with his comrades in the forests of Orchha, fifteen kilometers from Jhansi. Chandrasekhar Azad, being an inflexible shooter, used to train other revolutionaries as well as teaching children under the pseudonym of Pandit Harishankar Brahmachari. He had become very popular among the locals with his pseudonym in Dhimarpur village. While living in Jhansi, Chandrasekhar Azad had also learned to drive.

During the non-cooperation movement, after the Chauri Chaura incident in February 1922, Gandhiji withdrew the movement without asking whom, like all the young men of the country, Azad was disillusioned with the Congress and Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Shachindranath Sanyal Yogesh Chandra Chatterjee In 1926, the Indian Democratic Democratic Union (HRA) was formed with a group of revolutionaries of North India. Chandrashekhar Azad also joined this team. When this organization put robberies in the rich houses of the village, so as to arrange for the party to raise funds, it was decided that no woman would be raised. In a village robbery led by Ram Prasad Bismil, when a woman snatched Azad's pistol, Azad, despite his powerful body, did not raise his hand because of his principles. In this robbery, the entire village was attacked by eight members of the revolutionary party, including Azad and Bismil. Bismil entered inside the house and hit the woman tightly, snatching the pistol back and scolding Azad and brought it out. The party then decided to loot only government establishments. On January 1, 1925, the party distributed its famous paper The Revolutionary (Revolutionary) throughout India, in which the policies of the party were disclosed. Shachindranath Sanyal was going to post this leaflet in Bengal when the police arrested him in Bankura and sent him to jail. These three prominent leaders - Bismil, Sanyal and Chatterjee - differed on the objectives of this organization right from the occasion of the formation of "H.R.A."

Martyr

Azad died on 27 February 1931 in Alfred Park, Allahabad. After getting information from experts, the British police surrounded Azad and his co-workers from all sides. Defending himself, he was greatly injured and he also killed many policemen.

Chandrasekhar was bravely facing the British army and for this reason Sukhdev Raj also managed to escape from there. After a long-range firing, Azad eventually wanted the British not to hit him, and he killed himself when the last bullet was in the pistol. We still see that pistol of Chandrashekhar Azad in the Allahabad Museum.
