ABOUT

He was a great Indian freedom fighter. He was known for his unwavering resolve and extraordinary bravery.
He was born on July 23, 1906, in the small village of Bhavra in Madhya Pradesh.
His resolve to fight for India’s independence was ignited early, and by the age of 15, he had already joined the Non-Cooperation Movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1920, he became an active member of the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA).
Azad was disappointed by Gandhi’s suspension of the noncooperation movement in February 1922, after several policemen had been murdered by a revolutionary mob at Chauri Chaura.
By 1928, he had played a crucial role in transforming the HRA into the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), which aimed to establish a socialist republic in India.
He worked closely with other notable revolutionaries, including the legendary Bhagat Singh.
