Do you all<\/p>\n<p>wish to analyze these facts? Then, let me tell<\/p>\n<p>you some true facts regarding Indian freedom<\/p>\n<p>struggle, which will inspire you, which will<\/p>\n<p>surprise you, which will make you emotional,<\/p>\n<p>which will give you the strength to fight, which will introduce you to some popular legends of<\/p>\n<p>India, which will make you face the truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The nation has always received greatest betray from its own people, in the same way<\/p>\n<p>the worthiest children fought till their last<\/p>\n<p>breath to save their motherland from invaders, and punish the betrayers, our<\/p>\n<p>dear motherland suffered 190 years dependence by the British, knowing the reason of which we<\/p>\n<p>will have to go back to<\/p>\n<p>the past; It was the Battle of Plassey, 23rd June, 1757, when British captured Bengal,<\/p>\n<p>killed Nawab Siraj- ud- daulah, with the help<\/p>\n<p>of his commander Mir Zafar, the culprit for<\/p>\n<p>whom the Sun in India set for long 190 years!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The struggle for independence started since then, many tribes revolted, many poor people<\/p>\n<p>revolted, many wealthy people revolted, many students revolted, many teachers revolted, many<\/p>\n<p>children revolted, many women revolted, many kings revolted, many<\/p>\n<p>queens revolted, but still the British suppressed them, the British tortured them<\/p>\n<p>ruthlessly, snatched the womanhood from<\/p>\n<p>the women, and did all sorts of evil works.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then the first blow of division came to<\/p>\n<p>India, in 1905, in the form of Partition of<\/p>\n<p>Bengal, the revolution reached its zenith,<\/p>\n<p>freedom fighter Khudiram Bose became the<\/p>\n<p>first teenage martyr, then the brave freedom<\/p>\n<p>fighter Bagha Jatin lost his life in the famous<\/p>\n<p>Battle of Buribalam, Rash Behari Bose escaped to Japan, amidst all these revolts,<\/p>\n<p>Little Subhas was growing up, who later became &#8220;The Great Netaji.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Violent revolution continued, the more British<\/p>\n<p>killed freedom fighters, the more new freedom fighters emerged, they were guided<\/p>\n<p>by dynamic leaders, however there were few<\/p>\n<p>so called leaders, who were British agents but<\/p>\n<p>people failed to understand that. Do you want<\/p>\n<p>to know the names of those betrayers? One<\/p>\n<p>of them was so called worshipper of non- violence, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and<\/p>\n<p>the other was Jawaharlal Nehru, who is well- known for his relationship with Lady Mountbatten.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So finally, how did India achieve her independence? The man who crossed all<\/p>\n<p>limits, all barriers, fooled the British by escaping from house arrest, went to unknown lands to<\/p>\n<p>free Bharat Maa from the clutches of<\/p>\n<p>the British, crossed the Kabul River by a leather bag without knowing swimming, mobilized<\/p>\n<p>Hitler and General Tojo<\/p>\n<p>to help in Indian freedom struggle, who led<\/p>\n<p>the Azad Hind Fauj, who formed the provincial government of Arzi- Hukumat-e-Azad-e-Hind,<\/p>\n<p>who was the Prime<\/p>\n<p>Minister of &#8220;Undivided India&#8221;, who was a world leader, whom every single person of the world<\/p>\n<p>respected, whose intelligence went<\/p>\n<p>above the shrewd British and others, who united the Indians, who created a new path when there<\/p>\n<p>was no path, who took all kinds of risks in his life, only and only to bring us freedom, he is none<\/p>\n<p>other than our National<\/p>\n<p>Hero, the Liberator of India, the real Father<\/p>\n<p>of our nation, the Great Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, who is immortal, whose death<\/p>\n<p>is still a mystery, a mystery which I am<\/p>\n<p>dedicated to solving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monami Banerjee &nbsp; You all have heard of a country, namely &#8220;India&#8221;, India- the name given by the Greeks to the country &#8220;Bharatvarsh&#8221;, India, the nation which is unique, the nation which was famously known as the &#8216;Golden Bird&#8217;, the nation which bore legendary sons and daughters, the nation which has always depended on spirituality, the nation which taught never to accept defeat, never to step back from facing the difficulties, the nation whose strength lay in her values, the nation which has always been invaded by invaders, the nation which not only created Warriors but heroes and heroines in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"parent":32,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-119","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":481,"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/119\/revisions\/481"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euphemism.illinoisstate.edu\/18-1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
