Few of the Great Freedom Fighters
Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhiji's life was dedicated to the ideals of Truth, Non- violence and Love. He was the architect of India's freedom and a leader in a complex struggle, the Indian campaign for home rule. Following World War I, in which he played an active part in recruiting campaigns, Gandhi, again advocating Satyagraha, launched his movement of non-violent resistance to Great Britain. He lived a spiritual and ascetic life of prayer, fasting, and meditation.
Chandrashekhar Azad, often called, Panditji was a revolutionary. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, he was the first among many Indian revolutionaries to use arms in their fight for independence against the British rulers. A devout Brahmin, he believed that it was his "dharma" (duty) to fight for others. He also believed that a soldier never relinquishes his weapon. Azad was deeply troubled by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919
Bhagat Singh

To warn the British government of its misdeeds, Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly.

To serve the cause of freedom and countrymen Tilak founded schools and published newspapers. Tilak was famous as one of the trios- Bal, Pal and Lal. People loved him and accepted him as their leaders and so he was called Lokmanya Tilak.
