For freedom, revolutionaries in different parts of the country were experimenting at their own level at that time. There was a faction that was dreaming of freedom by following the path of supplication and non-violence, while on the other hand there was a tola of the enraged free people, with a direct aim - "Purna Swaraj."┬аThe British leave our country unconditionally. More than that, he was not willing to talk to anyone. These two ideologies had divided the struggle for independence into two factions - the Garam Dal and the Naram Dal and Batukeshwar Dutt was the brave soldier of this Garam Dal.

Born on November 18, 1910, in a Kayastha family in Ori village of Bengal, Batukeshwar Dutt is one of the popular revolutionaries in the country who were forgotten after independence. Batukeshwar Dutt passed the matriculation examination in 1924 and joined the PPN of Kanpur. Completed his graduation from college. Meanwhile, Batukeshwar Dutt came in contact with Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad and became a member of the revolutionary organisation Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. They then fought such dyed whites in the colour of freedom and bombs, guns, bullets became an integral part of their lives. By now Batukeshwar had achieved great success in bomb-making. Batukeshwar Dutt's personality was recognized when he was arrested on April 8, 1929, after throwing a bomb with Bhagat Singh in the British Parliament (Delhi). Batukeshwar Dutt and Bhagat Singh, who was arrested in the bomb blast, were sentenced to life imprisonment on June 12, 1929. After which the revolutionaries were put in Lahore Fort Jail.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sahadeva shot dead British police officer┬аSaunders on December 17, 1928, in retaliation for the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, who was martyred on November 17, 1928, after being injured with British sticks in protest against the Simon Commission on October 30, 1928. As a result, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt were tried in jail for the Lahore conspiracy. In which Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were sentenced to death and Batukeshwar Dutt was sent to Kalapani to face lifelong torture. Where Batukeshwar Dutt was shifted to Bankipur Central Jail, Patna in 1937 due to a hunger strike. Batukeshwar Dutt was released in 1938, but without freedom, he became part of Gandhi's non-cooperation movement. After which he had to go to jail four times again.

Batukeshwar's entire life was dedicated to the struggle for freedom. He was released from jail in 1945 and the country became independent in 1947. But Batukeshwar Dutt's struggle is still not over. The people of independent India could not repay the loan of sacrifice and dedication of this revolutionary who had spent his entire life in the closet for freedom and Batukeshwar Dutt was forced to live a life of oblivion after independence. At first, in search of some work, the city-town streets were scoured, and when the health and body responded to prison torture in 1964, he┬аwas helpless for treatment. Later, in view of his miserable condition at the Government Hospital in Patna, his friend Chamanlal Azad wrote a sniping letter to the ruling leaders, after which Dutt was brought to Delhi on November 22, 1964, for treatment, but by then he died drastically.
In the last days of his life, Batukeshwar Dutt expressed his desire that 'My cremation should be performed next to the tomb of my colleague Bhagat Singh. On July 17, 1965, Batukeshwar Dutt went into a coma and died at 1.50 p.m. on the night of July 20, 1965. According to his wishes, Batukeshwar Dutt was cremated near the tombs of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev at Hussainiwala near the Indo-Pak border.
