Bhagat Singh

• Bhagat Singh is rightly considered to be the most
  influential revolutionary during the Independence
  movement for India. When we think of all the
  martyrs who gave away their life for the pride
  and honor of their motherland, we often remember
  Shaheed Bhagat Singh. From seeking revenge on
  Lala Lajpat Rais death and 1929 assembly bomb
  throwing incident to the 116 days fast in jail,
  Singh was not a believer in Gandhian ideology of
  Satyagraha and non-violence. At the age of 23
  Singh was sentenced to death along with Rajguru
  and Sukhdev while all three of them kissed the
  rope, put it around their neck themselves and
  died for the sake of Bharat Mata. Singhs death
  proved to be an awakening for the youth of the
  nation which got committed to make India the
  Independent India.

Mahatma Gandhi

• The man whose picture we see every day on
  the currency of this country, the Father of the
  Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an iconic
  personality. His gave up everything to make India
  a free and independent country. Mahatma was a
  believer in non-violence and a man with very
  strong morals and values. His countless
  contributions to the country includes his efforts
  towards easing poverty, expanding women rights,
  ending untouchability and above all, bringing
  Swaraj- Self-rule. Gandhi led movement and
  campaigns like Dandi Salt March, Quit India
  Movement, Non Cooperation Movement, Satyagraha
  among many others. If it wasnt for this old man,
  India would have continued to live under colonial
  rule for atleast a few more years.

Subhash Chandra Bose

• Another great freedom fighter was Subhash Chandra
  Bose who was the founder of Indian National Army,
  more popularly known as Azad Hind Fauj. Subhash
  Chandra Bose was a believer in Swami
  Vivekanandas teachings and had a patriotic zeal
  even as a student. During his days in Calcutta
  University, he had beat one of his British
  professors who made a racist remark over Indian
  students. Bose was a rebel and he joined the
  Indian National Congress and later became its
  president.
• Tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe azadi dunga (You
  give me blood, and I promise you freedom). These
  are the ever famous words said by Netaji in his
  speech which motivated a large number of Indians
  to take up intense and serious actions towards
  freeing their motherland from colonial powers.

Chandra Shekhar Azad

• When it comes to remembering the powerful souls
  who gave away their life to see India getting
  independence Chandra Shekhar Azad is a sure name.
  One of the greatest freedom fighters and a
  revolutionary, Chandra Shekhar Azad was committed
  to free India by any means. First participating
  in Gandhis non cooperation movement, Azad later
  implemented the use of arms for the struggle of
  freedom. The unforgettable contributions by Azad
  include establishment of Hindustan Socialist
  Republic Association, mentoring and encouraging
  other young revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and
  Sukhdev and establishment of Jhansi camp. Chandra
  Shekhar Azad loathed the British rule to such
  extent that he ended his life by shooting himself
  because he preferred dying with pride rather than
  by the hands of British police.

Jawahar Lal Nehru

• The first Prime Minister of independent India
  Jawahar Lal Nehru hasnt gained much recognition
  as a freedom fighter which he deserves. Born into
  a political family Jawahar Lal Nehru spent most
  of his educational years in England but then
  returned to India as the struggle for freedom had
  been on his mind for a long time. Nehru was a
  staunch Gandhian. He believed in Satyagraha and
  was keen on adapting the non-violent methods for
  the freedom struggle. Jawahar Lal Nehru actively
  took part in the non-cooperation movement in 1920
  and then the Civil Disobedience Movement. The
  last days of freedom struggle saw vigorous
  campaigns by Nehru and ultimately he took the
  responsibility as a Prime Minister of India to
  build a new nation with a successful economy.

Rani Lakshmi Bai

• The Indian struggle for freedom wasnt just
  a mans affair but thousands of women too fought
  with bravery to bring back this nations pride
  and Rani Lakshmi Bais name shines in the list.
  Khoob ladi mardani wo to Jhansi wali Rani thi
  (She fought a mans war, she was Rani Lakshmi Bai
  of Jhansi). These words wonderfully talk about
  the bravery with which she fought the British
  army to save her reign over the Princely state of
  Jhansi. Rani Lakshmi Bai led her troop, the
  largest women army till date, and fought the
  battle against the British.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad

• We remember Dr Rajendra Prasad as the first
  president of The Republic of India but he also
  played a great role in the freedom struggle of
  the country and is rightly referred to as the
  architect of Constitution of India. Dr Rajendra
  Prasad, a supporter of Mahatma Gandhi joined the
  Indian National Congress during the Independence
  movement and became a major leader from the
  region of Bihar. He was an active member of the
  Salt Satyagraha and Quit India Movement and was
