INDIA'S UNSUNG HERO - KHUDIRAM BOSE


KHUDIRAM BOSE

The spirit of India is incomplete without our unsung heroes, their ethos and principles ought to be recalled and respected. India is a land, which has given birth to, many great souls. It is a birth place of much great freedom. Among such unsung heroes today I am going to say about Khudiram Bose, Khudiram Bose was born on 3rd dec 1889, who was an Indian revolutionary from Bengal Presidency who opposed British rule in India. For his role in the Muzaffarpur conspiracy case, along with Prafulla Chaki, he was sentenced to death.

Khudiram, along with Prafulla Chaki, attempted to assassinate a British judge, MagistrateKingsford, by throwing bombs on the carriage but he survived, and the throwing of bombs resulted in the death of two British women. Prafulla shot himself before the arrest. Khudiram was arrested and trialed for the murder of the two women, ultimately being sentenced to death.

At the time of his hanging Khudiram was 18 years, 8 months, 11 days and 10 hours old making him the second youngest revolutionary in India.

It is an attempt to recall and remember forgotten heroes of our freedom struggle the respect towards unsung heroes is to remember the sacrifices of brave souls and make ourselves proud to be a part of such a great country.
