Raising money for revolutionary action was a big challenge for revolutionaries. Those who considered their path to be correct, also kept distance due to the dangers of contact with them. On one occasion, it was found that a Mahant near Ghazipur is looking for a successor for his throne. It was expected that the sick Mahant ji would soon leave the world. He had a lot of assets. The revolutionaries felt that if that property is achieved then a big problem would be solved. Friends chose Azad for this work. Two months Azad discharged him. But then Azad had to return disappointed.
Govind Prakash (Ram Krishna Khatri) had been a monk before joining the revolutionaries. Khatri was aware that the sick Mahant of a monastery near Ghazipur is looking for a trusted disciple as his successor. It was thought that the Mahant would die soon. Azad was selected for this work. The party had a decision, so Azad had to agree. Khatri was fully aware of this monastery of sadness arena. He made a complete system.
Azad had earlier punished fifteen cane in connection with the Satyagraha movement. But this thing was hidden from Mahant. Azad reached there but he felt that he was caught in a lot of trouble. As soon as he went there, he had to learn Gurmukhi. Also, Japji had to memorize. Azad, a revolutionary action, had to perform puja and aarti here. Azad's patience started responding. With the theft of Mahant, he wrote a letter to Ramakrishna Khatri. Come immediately. Get rid of here.
Govind Prakash (Ramakrishna Khatri) reached the monastery as a monk. The revolutionary Manmathnath was a devotee as a devotee. He was named Apte. The Gita was discussed for some time after the stage of Mahant ji. Both were looking for Azad. Did not get success for some time. But then both came out on the pretext of watching the monastery. Look free Gerua was in clothes but looked upset with the face.
Taking separately, he said to the colleagues, "This Mahant is not going to die yet. Drinks a lot of milk. Penalty gets punished. While reading Gurmukhi, my eyes are being torn. I cannot stop now." Khatri and Manmath Nath Gupta came back after giving them assurance that Rajendra talks to Lahiri and reports you. He could return to Azad some day before Azad could come back among the Azad colleagues. This attempt, which lasted two months to raise money for the revolutionary party through Mahanti and the revolutionary party, failed. Azad would tell stories there and fellow fellows would go to laughter.
The revolutionaries had a shortage of money shortage that it was difficult for them to gather two times. Azad's partner revolutionary Vishwanath Vaishampayan wrote in his book "Amar Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad" that when the leadership of Azad came to the hands of Azad, there was a difference of ground and sky in his nature. They used to worry about everyone.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Bhagwandas, Vijay Kumar Sinha, Jaydev Kapoor, Batukeshwar Dutt etc. were gathered in Agra to free Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee from jail. It was not possible for so many people to give money for food in the hotel both times. Therefore, every morning one would come for breakfast. At one time, food was made, which used to have only lentils and roti. After becoming a lentil, two people would bake bread. Two used to sit. After eating, they used to make bread for both other colleagues.
After coming on the revolutionary path, Azad only worried about the independence of the country. His parents were in great economic crisis. In 1930, Sardar Ram Singh saw the problems of the family in his village Bhavra. When Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi came to know about this, he called Azad and gave two hundred rupees to send his parents. A few days later, Vidyarthi ji sought information about those money from Azad. Till then Azad had spent this rupee in party work.
Azad told the student ji, "There are millions of families in this slave country who do not have bread at a time. My parents get food once a day. They can stay hungry but due to money, they will not let the party's colleagues die hungry. Even if my parents die, there will be no loss of the country. But who are trying to fulfill the needs of the country, it is my first responsibility to fulfill their needs."
At the age of fifteen, Chandrashekhar Azad joined the freedom movement. Interestingly, in the beginning, he chose Gandhiji's non -violent path for the struggle. In 1921, he staged a sit-in protest in front of the Sanskrit school during the Non-Cooperation Movement in Banaras. When caught, he told his name Azad. Father's independent told. The house address is a prison. The court was directly challenged that courage should not be weighed by age. Not afraid of jail and rejected the offer for an apology.
15 cane strict punishment of Kubool. He gave indications that Azad will become Azad in the coming days. The revolutionary Vishwanath Vaishampayan has mentioned how dangerous this cane is punished is in his book written on Azad. He wrote, "I have seen many prisoners eating Kasuri cane in eight years of jail life. The one who used to hit the hemorrhage, he used to get a ser milk from the jail that day. The cane used to get wet in dirty water. The prisoner was tied with a tick. The prisoner was tied with a tick.
Often, those who are punished for cane, used to get intoxicated with ganja-charas to forget the pain and pain. After the punishment, his blood was leak and he would keep on stomach for several days. ”But Azad shouted slogans of Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Vande Mataram.
Why was Azad disillusioned with non -violent path? Gandhiji's decision to return the non -cooperation movement on 12 February 1922 was the main reason for this. Not only independent, but through the non -cooperation movement, all the youth associated with the struggle of independence had cheated themselves. The excitement with which he had left his education and came forward, the return of the movement left him in the middle.
The youth did not accept anything less than independence. For this, they were ready to sacrifice their lives. They wanted leadership. Azad entered Kashi Vidyapeeth in 1922. The revolutionaries of Bengal had become active here. In 1923, Azad met Chatterjee and Manmathnath Gupta. Azad had become popular after the punishment of the cane. Pranvesh took him into confidence and linked to the Hindustan Republic Association. Ironically, see that the pride that connected Azad to the revolutionary organization, he was broken by the torture of the police after the arrest in the Kakori incident. Later, Pranvesh committed suicide in guilt.
While joining Kakori action, Azad was only 19 years old. This loot of government treasury to raise money was directly a challenge to the British power. The armed revolution which was prepared for revolutionaries was not possible without weapons. Looting the government treasury going by rail was part of the same campaign. Azad played an important role in the ten companions involved in this adventure campaign. The revolutionaries were successful in their objectives but the government repression cycle caused heavy damage to the organization. The police picked up forty youths in this case and were serious on seventeen. Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaq Ulla, Roshan Singh and Rajendra Lahiri were hanged. The remaining got black water or other long punishment. The two revolutionaries, which the police could not reach, were Kundan Lal Gupta and Chandrashekhar Azad.
After Bismil, the leadership was in the hands of Chandrashekhar Azad. The major disadvantage of Kakori action warned him. The organization was destroyed and had to stand up afresh. Therefore, after Sanders slaughter on 17 December 1928, Azad made a strong arrangement for his colleagues to avoid the police.
Ten months after this case, the police could not make any arrest. But how many days the revolutionaries would sit calm. They had to wake up the country. Central Assembly was selected for this. Instead of beating and parts, this time he chose the path of arrest.
On 8 April 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb and arrested him in the assembly. Azad did not want Bhagat Singh to be involved in this action. He was not in favor of giving arrests. He realized the importance of Bhagat Singh for the organization. But he had to bow down to the stubbornness of colleagues and Bhagat Singh. They knew that the British would not let Bhagat Singh come out of jail.
Azad was still away from the police hold but the organization started weakening with Bhagat Singh going to jail. On 23 December 1929, Azad and colleagues tried unsuccessfully to kill Viceroy Lord Irwin's train. Even after this, efforts were continued to rescue Bhagat Singh and Dutt from jail. In the same preparation, on 28 May 1930, Bhagwati Charan Vohra was martyred during the bomb test. This was a big shock for Azad. Sukhdev Raj was also injured in this explosion.
In the Vohra bomb blast case, the police boom forced Azad and the remaining colleagues to leave Lahore. The encouragement was bad but Azad was falling alone. Due to the police's repressive cycle, the paths of cooperation were shrinking from all sides.
Efforts were on to collect scattered organizations and new colleagues. But from within, the rigorous heads were raising their heads. On 27 February 1931, at around ten in the morning, Azad and Sukhdev Raj were seen to be a man on the culvert while entering Allahabad Park in Allahabad. He looked at Azad carefully. Sukhdevaraja stared at him. Something doubted. Sukhdevaraja turned back again, by then he had turned his face.
Sukhdev came back and sat under the tree with Azad. At the same time, a person was seen going in front of Myo on Thornhil Road. Azad said, Virbhadra is going. Then a car stopped on the road in front. One English and two Indians came out in plain clothes. Gore questioned the pistol and questioned in English, who are you guys? In response, Azad and Sukhdev took out their pistols. Immediately fired. But the bullet from the British pistol had fired earlier.
The British shot in Azad's thigh. Azad's bullet in the British shoulder. Amidst the bullets running from both sides, the British took the cover of the Maulashree tree. Two of his companions hid in the drain. Azad and Sukhdev took the cover of the berries tree. Bullets stopped for a few moments. Azad told Sukhdev that there is a bullet in my thigh, you run away. Sukhdev ran towards Summer House. In fact CID Azad was arrested under the leadership of Special Superintendent of JRH NOT Babur and Deputy Superintendent Visheshwar Singh.
Babur was shot on his shoulder. Then he could not run his pistol. Visheshwar Singh was seen running towards the bruised road after being shot on his face. Meanwhile, more force reached there. Azad's thigh was already shot. From there they were not in a position to escape. But while struggling till the end, he gave martyrdom. Azad's resolve was, I am free. Jeet ji police could not touch them.
