Lala Lajpat Rai, a great freedom fighter who voiced lifelong rebellion, was born on January 28, 1865, at Dhudike village in Ferozepur district. Lalaji can be truly called a revolutionary. Because, they wanted India's freedom through revolution, not as monks. So his views did not match with the liberal Congressmen. Arya Samaj's thoughts inspired him after meeting Swami Dayanandsaraswati in his teens.

He was also deeply influenced by Tilak's national thinking in the freedom struggle. Lala Lajpat Rai has a respectable place in the national contribution compiled in the freedom movement of the trio of Red, Bal and Pal. In 1905, Lajpat Rai accompanied Gokhale to England as a Congress representative and defended India's independence before the people there. In 1907, he led the movement on agriculture all over Punjab and years later became the labour representative of the nation in Geneva in 1926. Lalaji went back to England in 1908 and awakened Indian students to nationalism there. He visited Japan and the US in 1913 and expressed his stand for the independence of the country. He also founded the Home Rule League in the US on October 15, 1916.
 
As the Head of the All India Students Union Conference (1920) held in Nagpur, he called upon the students to join their national movement. He also went to jail in 1921. Rai was seriously injured while leading an anti-Simon Commission procession in Lahore on October 30, 1928, and died on November 17, 1928.  It was in revenge for his death that Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru killed Saunders.
