The next gen would have probably not even heard of his name! That is exactly why I want to highlight our lesser known but heroic Freedom Fighters who fought the British with their Heart And Soul. Azad was a great revolutionary who died even before he was 25 but his heroic acts continue to live to this day.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
