Freedom Fighters : Fought for the freedom of the country.
Freedom Fighters fought for the freedom of the country. Because of them, we are celebrating Independence Day. They are revolutionary and some of them use non-violence as a weapon against the Britishers. India got independence on 15th August 1947 due to the struggle of our freedom fighters to make it independent. They devoted everything to the progress of their nation.
They brought freedom to India after a century of revolution, blood-shedding, and battles. Due to these great leaders only we are living in a democratic and independent country. Many freedom fighters fought for the protection of people from the injustice, exploitation, and cruelty of Britishers. Even though they had no training, they still did it for the freedom of their country.
There are many famous freedom fighters who fought for their motherland. But, let’s know about some of the famous freedom fighters who inspired and encouraged people to work for their country due to their patriotism.
Mahatma Gandhi: The Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi was the great leader of the freedom movement. He was saying ‘work is worship’. Truth and non-violence were his weapons to fight against the Britishers. He contributed a lot to the Indian freedom movement. He joined the Non-cooperative Movement to curb the policies implemented by the Britishers. He made unity among Indians and generated the spirit of patriotism. He joined the Civil Disobedience movement to curb the tax on salt brutal rules of Britishers. He joined actively in the Quit India movement against the Britishers. He utilized his time, efforts, energy, and spirit to achieve freedom in India instead of expecting anything for his contribution.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru: Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was one of the great leaders who gave up everything and fought for the freedom of India. He was the first Prime Minister of India after India got Independence. He joined Mahatma Gandhi against discarding the legislations produced by the Britishers. He was imprisoned with Gandhiji for standing against the salt act. When released from prison both of them reunited their congress party and fought together against Britishers. He was imprisoned a number of times in spite of stopping himself to fight against the injustice of Britishers.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was a great and courageous leader who fought for India’s freedom. He was not following peace and non-violence to fight against the Britishers. His campaign for freedom was ‘Give me your blood and I will give you freedom’. He took Hitler’s help for raising the Indian National Army to show the power of Indians to Britishers.
Lal Bahadur Shastri: Lal Bahadur Shastri was the second Prime Minister of India after India got Independence. He was living a simple life and contributed a lot to the freedom movement. He actively joined the Non-cooperative Movement with Gandhiji for abolishing salt rules. He also participated in the Satyagraha Movement and was imprisoned for six years. He also joined the Green Revolution Act to promote the nation’s food production.
Rani Laxmi Bai: Rani Laxmi Bai was also a great freedom fighter. She is the epitome of women’s empowerment for the future generation. She fought for the freedom of the nation in spite of many struggles and hardships. She never gave up her nation because of her child. Instead, she took him to fight against injustice in the war. Her story to achieve freedom is more inspiring and vigorous.
Today’s Independent India was the aim of every Freedom Fighter. They will always be memorable for their patriotism and love for the country. Every year people celebrate Republic and Independence Day to give a tribute to their victory. However, communal hatred rises day by day among people which is the disrespect of making freedom in India. So, we should not stand against each other and try to bring peace in life. Then only we can respect their struggles and sacrifices and make a developed and prosperous country.
