One of the most iconic men that ever took birth and still continues to survive in the lessons of passive-resistance and non-
violence that he selflessly gave to the world, hence making it a much better place. He gave up everything, his law career;
his house and wealthy family to fight for justice and for the betterment of his people who were being treated as third class
citizens by the colonial British. Even in the harshest of conditions, he never gave up his morals and rules, no matter what
the cost of it. Mahatma Gandhi has right fully been given the title of the father of the nation as India truly owes its
independence as a republic and a democracy to this Short, thin brown man who needed a stick while walking to support
him but who was strong enough to take the responsibility of an entire country and usher it to the world of sovereignty.

Born in a Dalit family, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was a victim of the Indian caste System. Being of the lowest caste, he was
accosted with negligible opportunities for his intelligence. But being a genius he saw the light and converted to Buddhism
helped many others from the lower castes to convert and not oblige to the inhuman behaviour conducted towards them.
His love for books and learning played a major role in his liberation. It was this hunger for knowledge that made him the
chairman of the committee that founded the constitution of India. Dr. Ambedkar was the one who scripted the
constitution of this democratic country.

A revolutionary who was brought up in the patriotic atmosphere, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, where Shaheed means Martyr,
from a very young age all he ever dreamed was of seeing his country free. He met Rajguru and Sukhdev who shared his
thoughts and together they fought several guerrilla wars fighting and revolting every British law that was against the
civilians and also against the right of humanity. The Jallianwalla Baugh Massacre is one such example of the colonial
inhumanity. He even blasted bombs inside the Assembly hall shouting slogans of Inqualab Zindabad( Independence
Prevails) to revolt against two laws-Trade Union Dispute Bill and Public Safety Bill. All three were arrested and hanged
to death. Their death, instead of silencing the people, actually acted as catalyst that ignited the fire within people as even
while leaving all three kept uttering- Sar Kata Sakte Hai par, Sar Zhuka Sakte Nahi ( We can have our heads chopped but
not bowed).

Netaji as he was called was a very prominent figure in the Indian freedom struggle. His sole aim was the freedom of his
country and he termed it as a necessity and didnt agree with Gandhiji on the terms that it can be negotiated. He was well
educated and believed that there should be complete intolerance for caste-differentiation, racism or religious separation.
His was so active in the Indian National Congress that he was arrested several times by the British Government. He
formed the Indian National Army and started the Campaign Challo Dilli which though failed, wasnt enough to break his
spirit. The Slogan Jai Hind was also given by him which still prevails.
