2. CHANDRA SHEKHAR AZAD
One of the greatest freedom fighters and a revolutionary, Chanfira
Shekhar Azad was committed to free India by any means. First
participating in Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement, Azad
later implemented the use of arms for the struggle of freedom.
The unforgettable contributions by Azad include mentoring and *
encouraging other young revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and
Sukhdev. Chandra Shekhar Azad loathed the British rule to such
extent, that he chose to end his life by shooting himself rather than
getting caught by the British.
3. ARUNA ASAF ALI
