Kerur Vasudevacharya was a political activist, journalist & one of the foremost exponents of nationalism in Karnataka, born on 15th October 1866 at Tolamatty village in the present-day Bagalkot district of Karnataka.
After finishing his primary education in Bagalkot and Dharwad, Vasudevacharya relocated to Pune for higher education, where he came into contact with Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak's revolutionary ideas. He returned to Bagalkot after receiving his law degree and played a crucial
role in the Tilak's group there. In the guise of a “goshala”, Vasudevacharya & allies established a facility for training & storing weapons for revolutionary activities. He also sought to inspire people towards the path of nationalism by composing + performing nationalist songs.
He remained committed to Tilak's radical faction after the split of the Congress in 1907, and believed that the primary route to emancipation was the end of political slavery. He wrote nationalist plays in Kannada that were influenced by the Marathi theatre movement.
He also shepherded the famous Subhodaya newspaper, where he bravely spoke out against the horrors carried out by the British raj. In his journalistic writings he bravely chastised the colonial government for its atrocities against Indians.

Kerur Vasudevacharya inspired many
young people to join the national movement and to take up pens against the colonizers. His contributions to the nation as well as to Kannada literature endure in collective memory.

Kuldip Nayyar after death of Nehru said, they are appointing LBS
to keep PM’s seat WARM for Indira, but LBS turned out to be a Great Statesman, Leader & proved him wrong, but also lost his life.

Today is the day to recall the great tragedy that befell India 57 years ago. For the first time in modern world history, a head of government
died in a foreign country.

Jan Mohammad, personal cook of T.N. Kaul, the Indian Ambassador to Moscow, prepared light meal for Shastriji & by 11.30 pm, LBS had a glass of milk. When his personal staff took leave of him, he was fine & Mohammed was never questioned or

Remembering #SundarLalBahuguna, a remarkable leader & environmental activist who dedicated his life to the protection of our planet, on his birth anniversary. ImageImageImageImage
His effort in the conservation of environment is an inspiration for others.

The idea of Chipko movement was of his wife and the action was taken by him, making it a big movement resulting in 15 years ban on chopping of trees.
Chipko movement was started in 1973 spontaneously
in Uttar Pradesh, in an effort to save trees and forests from felling by forest contractors. In Hindi, "Chipko" literally means "to stick" and people started sticking to trees when it was being cut. Chipko movement later inspired Appiko Movement in Karnataka. One of Bahuguna's

The first Ghadarite who was hanged outside Bharat - Tributes to #SohanLalPathak on his Jayanti.

Pathak was born on 7 Jan 1883, in Amritsar.
His father’s name was Pandit Chanda Ram. Sohan was a deserving student who received numerous scholarships & awards at his high school.
However, his family's financial situation forced him to drop out of middle school and pursue a job with the Irrigation Department as Beldar.

He left this job after a short time and enrolled in a Teacher Training School in Lahore. He began working as a school teacher after
finishing his course. In 1901, he got married to Laksmi Devi.
Pathak was influenced by rising nationalistic feelings while still in Lahore. Lala Lajpat Rai had a significant influence on him. He quit his school job to work for Lajpat Rai's Urdu newspaper Bande Matram.
