#TarakanathDasJayanti
A Krantikari International Scholar in Exile.
It so happened that Tolstoy in his essay “A Message to Young India’ quoted Bhagavad Gita and wrote “If the English have enslaved the Hindoos, it is just because Hindoos recognized coercion as the main and

fundamental principle of their social order.” He saw only one answer to this problem, namely Love: “The law of human life is the law of Love cherished by all humanity from the most remote antiquity.”
Taraknath’s elaborate reply was given in four parts, under the title

“Young India’s Reply to Count Tolstoi”.
Taraknath cited statistics from western and Indian sources to prove the point that tyranny under any guise can never be justified. “Non-violence is an absolute Dogma …violence and benevolence are measured by relative value of the actions

I’m pretty sure, most of you have never heard his name, AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY, by the time you finish reading this thread.
#ManoharMalgonkar.
#Punyasmaran
I remember that day, around 20 years back, my father, a big fan of Gandhi Nehru and a closet Communist brought few old books

(He read everything & I'm like him) & in that bundle there was #TheMenWhoKilledGandhi.
Being a huge admirer of God Sent Godse, I was eager to know what was inside.
And thus I got exposed to the writings of Manohar Malgonkar.
The Men Who Killed Gandhi’ is a painstaking journey

that began in 1960 as an assignment from Life International, and it came out as a story in its February 1968 issue. But, by then, Malgonkar had realized that his story and the research behind it warranted a book, much more than just a magazine article. So, he sat down to enlarge

#MihirSen

“I had undertaken this perilous swim not to gain fame or trophies but to prove once again to the world that Indians are no longer afraid”, said the man who swam into world record books by conquering the English Channel and Palk Straits”.

And then Jyoti Basu happened

Nurtured By Biju Patnaik, Destroyed By Jyoti Basu,
the gut wrenching story of Mihir Sen.

Sen was the first Indian to swim across the English Channel in 1958, and also set a world record by swimming in oceans in five continents in 1966. He had famously said, “I wanted to prove

to the world that Indians are not afraid.” In 1967, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan.

The story of Mihir Sen, is both an inspirational and cautionary tale of how one hero was eventually let down by the very people he sought to champion.

Born prematurely on 16 November 1930

#RamPrasadBismil – The Warrior Who Also Wrote Mercy Petition.
Born on 11 June 1897, at Shahjahanpur, Ramprasad had a normal childhood & was a regular at Arya Samaj.
His 1st exposure towards Azadi came with the news of Death Sentence for Swami Paramanand, friend of Lala Hardayal.

Enraged Ram wrote a poem in Hindi titled Mera Janm & showed to Swami Somdev, who was a friend of Paramanand.
The Swami encouraged Ramprasad & meanwhile Congress had a session at Lucknow.
Ramprasad formed a revolutionary organisation called Matrivedi, contacted Genda Lal Dikshit

a school teacher at Auraiya for support. Somdev arranged this, knowing that Ram could be more effective in his mission if he had experienced people to support him. Dikshit had also formed an armed organisation of youths called Shivaji Samiti.
On 28 January 1918, Bismil published

How Gandhi Ruined A SWADESHI Freedom Fighter?
Was Gandhi’s Great Granddaughter was the only one to commit fraud? Let’s Learn About The Cheater.
This is the story of Gandhi cheating freedom fighter V.O.Chidambaram Pillai famously known by the epithet - Kappalottiya Tamizhan.

company was liquidated.
South Indians in South Africa collected money for VOC and handed it over to Gandhi. VOC, then under dire poverty, corresponded with Gandhi for more than 5 years but never got the money from Gandhi.
Between the middle of 1915 and early 1916,
