  • Bhagat Singh
    Making Of A Revolutionary Bhagat Singh Making Of A Revolutionary Over half a century ago, a bomb was thrown in the central Legislative Assembly, Delhi, to make the deaf hear. Bhagat Singh, the leader of the group, which committed this heroic act, has today become an official mar- tyr of the capitalist-landlord government. In his memory, ministers give speeches, garland statues and inaugurate exhibitions. This is not surprising. When leaders of the oppressed masses die, the ruling class uses these meth- ods to divert the people from their revolutionary ideas by glorifying their name. Therefore, while exploiters make a mockery of Bhagat Singhs mar- tyrdom, the working class and the people of India must once again remem- ber the revolutionary ideas of one of its bravest sons and pledge itself to the cause for which he and his comrades made the ultimate sacrifice. Born in 1917, Bhagat Singh belonged to a family well known for its anti-imperialist views. Ajit Singh, his uncle, was a nationalist leader who was imprisoned for his opposition to British imperialism. As Bhagat Singh grew up, India and the world underwent great changes. First, the needs of the First Imperialist War (1914-1918) led to a growth in industry and with that the numbers of the working class. Secondly, the revolution in Russia (1917) led by the working class gave inspiration to the liberation struggles in the colonial countries. In these circumstances, the Congress, led by Gandhi, started the Non- co-operation Movement. Thousands flooded the streets in response to Gandhis call. The days of British rule seemed num- bered.

  • Ram Prasad Bismil - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Ram Prasad Bismil - poems - Publication Date: 2013 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ram Prasad Bismil(11 June 1897 - 19 December 1927) Ram Prasad Bismil (Hindi: ??? ?????? '???????') was an Indian revolutionary who participated in Mainpuri Conspiracy of 1918, and the Kakori conspiracy of 1925, both against British Empire. As well as being a freedom fighter, he was also a patriotic poet. Ram, Agyat and Bismil were known as his pen names which he used in Urdu and Hindi poetry. But, he became popular with the last name "Bismil" only. He was associated with Arya Samaj where he got inspiration from Satyarth Prakash, a book written by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. He also had a confidential connection with Lala Har Dayal through his guru Swami Somdev, who was a renowned preacher of Arya Samaj. Bismil was one of the founder members of the revolutionary organisation Hindustan Republican Association. Bhagat Singh praised him as a great poet- writer of Urdu and Hindi, who had also translated the books Catherine from English and Bolshevikon Ki Kartoot from Bengali. Several inspiring patriotic verses are attributed to him. The famous poem "Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna" is also popularly attributed to him, although some progressive writers have remarked that 'Bismil' Azimabadi actually wrote the poem and Ram Prasad Bismil immortalized it. <b> Early life Ram Prasad Bismil was born at Shahjahanpur, a historical city of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) in a religious Hindu family of Murlidhar and Moolmati. <b> Grandfather's migration </b> His grandfather Narayan Lal was migrated from his ancestral village Barbai and settled at a very distant place Shahjahanpur in U.P.

  • Dear Fellow Citizens Engaged in the Task of Nation Building My Greetings to You As We Complete 70 Years of Our Independence
    PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS TO THE NATION ON THE EVE OF INDIA’S 71ST INDEPENDENCE DAY, 2017 Dear Fellow Citizens engaged in the task of nation building My greetings to you as we complete 70 years of our Independence. Our country will be celebrating its 71st Independence Day tomorrow. On the eve of this anniversary I extend my good wishes to all of you. On August 15, 1947, we became a free nation. Sovereignty and the responsibility for our destiny moved from the British crown to the people of India. Some have called this process a “transfer of power”. It was much more than that. It was the culmination of a dream for our country – a dream seen by our forefathers and freedom fighters. We were free to imagine and build our nation anew. It is crucial to understand that this dream for a free India was rooted in our ordinary villages, in the well-being of our poor and underprivileged, and in the all-round development of our country. For this we owe so much to the countless freedom fighters who made great sacrifices to bring us here. Chennamma, the Rani of Kittur. Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Matangini Hazra, the heroine and martyr of the Quit India Movement. There are so many examples. Matangini Hazra was an elderly woman, into her 70s. She was shot by the colonial police in Tamluk, in Bengal, while leading a peaceful protest march. She died with “Vande Mataram” on her lips and with the hope of a free India in her heart. 1 Freedom fighters like Sardar Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, Birsa Munda and thousands of others gave their lives for us.

    2 Govind Ballabh Pant 1 An Illustrious Life The Backdrop All of you know that the Himalayan mountains extend from Jammu and Kashmir in the northwest to Arunachal Pradesh in the northeast of India. From time immemorial these majestic mountains have stood in silent grandeur guarding the northern frontiers of India. If you look at the map of India you will notice that these mountains stretch from northwest to northeast forming a semicircle. That is why an imaginative poet has described the Himalayas as a beautiful crown worn by Mother India. ‘Himalaya’ literally means the abode of snow; but many legends are current in Indian mythology about the sacredness and greatness of these mountains. The sacred Ganga originates in this abode of snow and a number of holy shrines and temples have sprung up on its route since remote antiquity. Surely you have heard of Gangotri and Badrinath temples situated in the mid-Himalayan ranges in Uttar Pradesh. People from distant corners of India from Kanyakumari to Gujarat, from Orissa to Maharashtra and from Bengal to Jammu and Kashmir, visit these temples and places of pilgrimage. An Illustrious Life 3 The Home State The State which is now called Uttar Pradesh is geographically the heart of India. It is one of the ingredient states of the Indian Republic and has always occupied an important place in the history of the country. It has been the cradle of religious, cultural, historical and political movements and represents the best synthesis of Hindu and Muslim cultures. Its language today is the language of the Republic.
