"It Takes A Loud Sound To Make The Deaf Hear"
Read the pamphlets which were thrown into the gallery following a smoke bomb.
The 2 Freedom Fighters, #BhagatSingh and #BatukeshwarDutt
stood still.
On 08/04/1929, a Smoke Bomb Exploded in Central Legislative Assembly, Delhi.
They never wanted to escape. They readily accepted imprisonment, as they believed that it would inspire the next generation of revolutionaries to fight for the cause of freedom.
The Painful History of #BatukeshwarDutt, close friend of Bhagath on his Punyatithi.
In the book,
" The Jail Note book & Other Writings" Chamanlal who compiled various letters, incidents wrote that "It was clear from the beginning that these bombs were to be harmless, not designed to kill or injure anyone, but to create an explosion that would make the deaf hear.
At the appointed time Bhagath Singh & BK Dutta threw the bombs over the empty seats in central assembly, threw the historic pamphlets to make the deaf hear & shouted slogans #InquilabZindabad & #SamrajyavaadKaNaashHo"
After years, Asaf Ali, the lawyer of Batukeshwar disclosed
in an interview that Batukeshwar never threw the bomb but wanted to stay with Bhagath from beginning to the end.
For this case, Bhagath, Sukhdev & Batukeshwar were charged with Life Imprisonment.
In Lahore Jail where they were kept they started hunger strike for better
amenities and they succeeded too.
Few years later, Batukeshwar was released (From Kaalapaani)
under general amnesty (by this time Sukhdev Rajguru & Bhagath were hanged for assassination of Saunders).
In Cellular jail Batukeshwar had contracted Tuberculosis, but it didn't
deter him from
Participating in Quit India
Movement, the British jailed him again for 4 years..
When Bharat got independence, many freedom fighters were recognised & honoured, but Dutt didn't get his due, even though there were clear evidence of his part in freedom struggle.
In Nov 1947, Batukeshwar Dutta married Anjali & spent his remaining life in Poverty & away from political limelight.
Born on 18/11/1910, the Bengali Brahmin attained Mukti from his sufferings caused by Independent Bharat's Ungrateful People on July 20th 1965 at AIIMS, Delhi.
#BatukeshwarDutt was Cremated at the same spot where Bhagath, Rajguru & Sukhdev were cremated.
All those sacrifices, what for?

That was his motto.
True story :
One Englishman and a Bengalee gentleman were once travelling by the same train .
The Englishman was very proud of himself as he was an Englishman . He looked down upon the Bengalee gentleman,
who however, took no notice off it, and went to sleep in peace . As soon as the Bengalee gentleman was asleep, the Englishman picked up the gentleman's shoes, and threw them outside the window . Then he too fell asleep.
After a while the Bengalee gentleman woke up, he searched
his shoes, but could not find the shoes . He understood all . Then he took the Englishman's long coat on the wall and threw it outside the window and went to sleep again . When the englishman woke up , he is searching the coat and told 'Where is my coat gone?' Then 'Your coat
I didn’t know it was this bad…’ was Rao’s reaction to the briefing on the balance of payments crisis, the unprecedented devaluation of the rupee and the mortgaging of gold bullion, when being updated by his cabinet secretary a day before he was to be
sworn-in as our 10th prime minister.
Rao was not a mass leader; he presided over a minority government in the Parliament; his party colleagues distrusted him and the Gandhi family kept an eagle eye on him. ‘Few world leaders have achieved so much with so little power.’
The political importance of Narasimha Rao lies in his demonstrating to the Congress Party that someone from outside the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty can in fact run the party and the government quite successfully.
He was not only the first Congress leader after the Nehru-Gandhis to
I had taken this from archives & do not remember the book name.
But, just read it!
The revolutionary activities have followed the beginning of the democratic agitation in the
country. Like the peaceful mass agitation revolutionary activities also were first visible in this
presidency-Maharashtra—(Constitutional Development—Proof G. N. Singh—Vol. 1, p. 232)
Chapekar brothers' activities (1895) are supposed to be their starting point (Sedition Committee
report). The Shivaji club of Kolhapur (1893) was also started, it appears, with objects similar
to those of Chapekars. (Life of Shahu Chatrapati by A. B. Lathe, p. 291). This club deserves attention
as it appears that it was apparently the first of its kind in the Bombay Presidency & was started
prior to Chapekar's. This was started by Hanamantrao Kulkarni Murki-Bhavikar.
Padmashree “Teesta-Settled-For-A-Wad”, yes you read it right.
In 2007 itself, Maino Sarkar rewarded her for tormenting Modi, conniving gullible victims and tripling the figures of the dead.
Yesterday, you read how Rais Pathan exposed Teesta,
now it’s turn of Zahira Sheikh.
In her affidavit filed in High Court, Zaheera said that Teesta was constantly threatening her with life if she did not utter what was being fed to her. Zaheera said and I quote, “If we don’t lie as instructed by Teesta, then these people will
get me and my family members killed.”
Zahira Sheikh exposing Teesta compelled her to admit that Communal Combat is not an NGO, but a business venture of a privately-owned company called Sabrang Publications.
Zahira Sheikh accused Teesta Setalvad of physically controlling her
#Anandamath was written at a time when Bengal was hit by three famines one after another, Anandamath was the story of a group of monks who fought the British during the Fakir-Sanyasi Rebellion of the early 1770s.
Banned by the colonial authorities, it was in this masterpiece
that Vande Mataram was first published as a poem.
Sadly, two years after he published this novel, an ageing Bankim breathed his last on April 8, 1894, unaware that his poem would go on to be immortalised in the annals of Indian history.
In the 1896 session of the Congress,
Rabindranath Tagore gave a sublime tune (that he had composed himself) to Vande Mataram and sang it publicly for the first time.
In 1905, it became Freedom Fighter’s rallying cry during the partition of Bengal and soon graduated to becoming fiercely emblematic of the Indian
