    2 Lal Bahadur Shastri 1 An Illustrious Life Birth and Early Days India’s second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri popularly known as Shastriji was born on October 2, 1904 in Uttar Pradesh at a place known as Mughal Sarai, a very well known city. Lal Bahadur’s father, Shri Sharda Prasad Shrivastva was a school teacher. His mother Ram Dulari Devi was the proud daughter of this country, who gave birth to this great son who rose to the highest position and led the country on the principles cherished by Gandhiji and Jawaharlal Nehru. Interestingly, Lal Bahadur’s birthday falls on the same day as that of his mentor Mahatma Gandhi. Unfortunately, Lal Bahadur could not have the love and affection of his father since he died prematurely when Lal Bahadur was only one and a half years old. Fatherless Child His parents Sharda Prasad and Ram Dulari Devi were agriculturists. Shrivastava was part of Lal Bahadur’s name. He dropped that part indicating his caste, when he grew up. He did not like such indications of caste. Lal Bahadur’s father, a poor teacher at first, became a clerk in the Revenue Office at Allahabad. Here, too, he earned very little. But, even though he was poor, An Illustrious Life 3 he never accepted bribes. He lived a life of honesty and integrity. Sharda Prasad died when Lal Bahadur was only a year old. Ram Dulari Devi felt as though the skies had come down on her. Her father gave shelter to her and her three children, a boy and two girls.
