Chandra Shekhar Azad, one of India’s greatest revolutionaries, fearlessly introduced himself in a British court in 1921 after being arrested during the Non-Cooperation Movement. His iconic self-introduction became a symbol of defiance and patriotism:
🔹 Name: Chandra Shekhar Azad (meaning “Free”)
🔹 Father’s Name: Swatantrata (meaning “Independence”)
🔹 Residence: Jail
This bold statement reflected his unwavering commitment to India’s freedom struggle. From that moment, he was known as Chandra Shekhar Azad, the man who vowed never to be captured alive by the British. True to his words, he sacrificed his life on February 27, 1931, in Alfred Park, Allahabad, choosing to shoot himself rather than surrender.
His atma parichay remains an inspiration for generations of Indians fighting for justice and freedom. 🚩
