Let's Salute - Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, and Thakur Roshan Singh—the fearless architects of the Kakori Train Action

 Salutations to the eternal revolutionaries—Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, and Thakur Roshan Singh—the fearless architects of the Kakori Train Action, whose unmatched courage, clarity of purpose, and supreme sacrifice altered the course of India’s freedom struggle. Their lives stand as luminous testaments to a generation that chose action over submission and principle over fear.

The Kakori Train Action of 1925 was not merely an act of defiance against colonial authority; it was a declaration of moral resolve. By targeting government funds used to sustain an exploitative regime, these revolutionaries sought to awaken a nation numbed by oppression. Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, a poet-warrior and ideologue, infused the movement with intellectual depth and spiritual strength. His writings and leadership inspired countless young Indians to believe that freedom demanded courage tempered by discipline.

Ashfaqullah Khan embodied the syncretic soul of India’s freedom movement. His unbreakable bond with Bismil transcended religious divides, affirming that the struggle for independence was a shared human cause. Calm, resolute, and unyielding even in the face of death, Ashfaq’s martyrdom became a powerful symbol of unity and sacrifice.

Thakur Roshan Singh, steadfast and fearless, represented the quiet strength of conviction. His participation reflected a life committed to justice, where personal safety was insignificant compared to national honor. Together, these three revolutionaries faced brutal trials and the gallows with dignity, refusing clemency that would compromise their ideals.

Their sacrifice did more than shake the foundations of British rule; it ignited a revolutionary consciousness across India. Even today, their legacy endures—reminding us that freedom is born from courage, sustained by unity, and sanctified by sacrifice. To them, we proud indians bow in gratitude and remembrance.

1975 Emergency in India - A Grave Mistake!

The Emergency imposed in India from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, is widely regarded as a dark chapter in the country’s democratic history. Declared by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Emergency suspended civil liberties, curtailed press freedom, and allowed the government to rule by decree. Although it was constitutionally valid under Article 352, its implementation is now considered a serious misjudgment. The justification offered for the Emergency was the threat to national security and internal disturbance. However, the real trigger was the Allahabad High Court’s verdict declaring Indira Gandhi's 1971 election invalid due to electoral malpractice. Facing political vulnerability, she chose authoritarian control over democratic accountability. During the Emergency, thousands of political opponents were jailed without trial under preventive detention laws. The media was censored, dissent was stifled, and civil society was silenced. Draconian measures like forced steriliz...
