Freedom Fighters

Introduction
The freedom of a country depends on its citizens. Individuals who selflessly
sacrifice their lives so that their country and countrymen can be free are identified
as freedom fighters. Every country has a few brave hearts who willingly give up
their lives for their countrymen. People of the country look up to the freedom
fighters with respect for their patriotism and the love they had for their motherland.
These people provide examples by which other citizens aim to live by.
For ordinary people, sacrificing their lives is a big deal but freedom fighters
selflessly make this unimaginable sacrifice for their country without thinking of any
repercussion. The amount of pain and hardships that they have to endure to
achieve their goal cannot be described with mere words. The entire country
remains forever indebted to them for their struggles.
A freedom fighter is a person engaged in a resistance movement against what they
believe to be an oppressive and illegitimate government. Freedom fighters are
considered to be the propelling force behind the success of the freedom struggle. They
are the reason why we can now prosper in a free country
Some important Indian Freedom Fighters
India had been under the British rule for 200 years approximately. There were a
lot of brave hearts who laid down their lives for the freedom of India. we will
discuss the contributions made by only a few freedom fighters. Freedom Fighters
fought for the freedom of the country. Because of them, we are celebrating
Independence Day. They are revolutionary and some of them use non-violence as the
weapon against the Britishers. India got independence on 15th August 1947 due to the
struggle of our freedom fighters to make it independent. They devoted everything to the
progress of their nation.

They brought freedom in India after a century of revolution, blood-shedding, and battles.
Due to these great leaders only we are living in a democratic and independent country.
Many freedom fighters fought for the protection of people from the injustice, exploitation,
and cruelty of Britishers. Even though they had no training, they still did it for the
freedom of their country.
Mahatma Gandhi
He is known as the father of the nation. He led the path to freedom following the
principles of ahimsa or non-violence. He prioritized ‘swadeshi’ and ‘non-
cooperation’ to expedite the freedom movement.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was an excellent leader. He travelled to other
countries to form alliances and formed Indian National Army (INA) or Azad Hind
Fauj. He was also successful in freeing a portion of the Indian Territory from the
British rule.
Bhagat Singh
The fearless patriot was hanged to death at a very young age after being convicted
in several cases of dissent against the then British empire.
Conclusion
Freedom fighters are the reason we live in a free country. We must honour their
sacrifices and aim to live together in harmony and peace ensuring social justice.
Today’s Independent India was the aim of every Freedom Fighter. They will always be
memorable for their patriotism and love for the country. Every year people celebrate
Republic and Independence Day to give a tribute to their victory. However, communal
hatred rises day by day among people which is the disrespect of making freedom in India.
So, we should not stand against each other and try to bring peace in life. Then only we
can respect their struggles and sacrifices and make a developed and prosperous country.
