Madan lal dhingra

 Madan Lal Dhingra was born in a very rich family in Amritsar on 17 February 1883.
Belonging to a well-established and wealthy family of Punjab, which was loyal to the British,
Madanlal went to England in the year 1906 to study engineering.
 While in London, he came in contact with Veer Savarkar and his associates. A man of deep
conviction and firm determination, he realized that sacrifices and actions were needed, not
words, in order to gain India’s liberation. He shot dead Curzon Wyllie, who was considered an
anti-Indian officer of the British regime. His doctor father had disowned him after he
assassinated Curzon Wyllie.
 On 1 July 1909, at the meeting of the National Indian Association (an organization of Indian
loyalists) he shot Curzon Wyllie dead. He made no attempt to escape and during the course of
hearing of the case, he himself asked for a death sentence. He was hanged in London on 17
August 1909. On being sentenced to death, he graciously thanked the judge. Such was the spirit
of sacrifice of this brave freedom fighter of our soil.
Chandra singh gharwali
 Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali was born on the 24th of December 1891 in Meason, Patti Chauthan, Tehsil Thalisain
District Garhwal. His real teacher was the rich experience that he gathered in his wide and varied travels during his
service in the army and the long terms of imprisonment which he faced with care courage and fortitude in his fight
for the freedom of the country.
 On 23 April 1930 thousands of Pathans had gathered in front of the Kissakhani Bazar Police Chowki in Peshawar
and the national flag was flying in their midst. The men of the Garhwal Rifles stood before the Pathans and
hundreds of people were looking on from their houses and roof tops. The British Captain warned the non-violent
demonstrators to disperse but it had no effect on them. When, in a rush of anger he shouted, ‘Garhwali three rounds
fire’, an equally firm voice was heard saying’ Garhwali cease fire’, and the Garhwali soldiers lowered their rifles to
the ground. Chandra Singh Garhwali’s voice rang out once again to declare that they would not fire upon unarmed
people even if the Captain were to shoot them down. It was an amazing display of courage.
 Mahatma Gandhi’s words about Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali were” If I had one more Chandra Singh
Garhwali, then India would have become Independent much earlier. ”
KANAK LATA BARUA

 Under the leadership of the revolutionary Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, in the darrang district, a

later entered the military of the Manipur Kingdom, reaching the rank of major
by 1891. The same year he fought in the Anglo-Manipur War against the 
British Empire. Following the defeat of his troops in a skirmish with the
British, his adversaries offered to spare Brajabasi's life if he entered their
service. Brajabasi refused and was subsequently executed. This act entered
Manipur's popular imagination and Brajabasi has since been commemorated by
a statue
KALPANA DUTT
 Kalpana Dutta was one of the members of Master Da Surya Sen's revolutionary group (an
influential Indian revolutionary), who carried forward the work of Pritilata Waddedar. She was
a member of Chattri Sangha (a semi-revolutionary organization for women, Kolkata). She was
part of the armoury loot, and the first attempt at torching Pahartoli Club (which led to the
death of Pritilata). During the second attempt, made by herself and Master Da, the British
were better prepared. Kalpana Dutta escaped at that point in time, but Master Da was finally
captured in the year 1933. Later, after three months, even she was arrested and sentenced to
life for taking part in the Chittagong Armoury Loot. She was released six years later.
 Kalpana Dutta was a learned student of science. She was inspired by the martyrdom of
Khudiram Bose. The cause of patriotism made inroads in her life while she was in Chittagong.
This was further encouraged while she was pursuing her studies in the Bethune College,
Kolkata. She breathed her last in the year 1995.
