Unknown and Forgotten Freedom Fighters- 75 Years of  Indian Independence 

                                                  There were thousands of freedom fighters of India who fought for freedom in their own way. Some believed in non-violence and others fought violently. However, their patriotism was beyond question. The British government then was using very torturous methods to control those freedom fighters.  Some of the revolutionary young people reacted violently and replied to the British regime accordingly. i.e. Killing British officers and throwing  Bombs at them.

                                                In the process, the family members of those freedom fighters suffered and had very miserable lives. India got freedom in 1947 but some of them were forgotten and their families vanished into poverty. India is now celebrating 75 years of independence.  This is a very good opportunity to rectify the error and give those unknown and forgotten freedom fighters due recognition for the sacrifice they made for the freedom of India. 

                                                 In this connection, we can quote an example of revolutionary freedom fighter Chandrashekhar Azad.  His mother became lonely and helpless after his death. She was rotting in poverty. She had no cloth to wear and no food to eat. She has to do some manual work for her lively hood. Such miserable was the condition of a mother whose son was a revolutionary freedom fighter and after whom 700 British force was chasing.

                                              Chandrashekhar Azad, use to say' He will face the bullet of the British Government but will go on fighting.'   Chandrasekhar Azad had also taken a promise from one of his revolutionary freedom fighter friends Sadashiv Rao to look after his mother. He fulfilled his promise and took her with him as her financial condition was not good.  

                                              Besides, that Azad's mother was not treated well in her village. They use to tell her mother of Daku.   It is very unfortunate that even after independence Azad's mother was not given any help by the government.

                                               India is now celebrating  75 years of independence and if the government searches and prepares a list of all forgotten and unknown freedom fighters all over to give due recognition for sacrifice for the freedom of the motherland.
