New Delhi: The revolutionary Chandrashekhar Azad, who made an invaluable contribution to the country's independence and laid down his life for it, was born on this day 114 years ago. Azad was born on July 23, 1906, in the village of Bhanwara. His father was Pandit Sitaram Tiwari and his mother was Jagrani Devi.  Due to his friendship with the Bhil children in his childhood, he learned to wield a lot of bows and arrows. and mastered shooting. The increasing atrocities on the countrymen by the British the next day turned Azad's mind to an armed revolution. At that time, Banaras was the stronghold of the revolutionaries. Azad came in contact with Manmathnath Gupta and Pranavesh Chatterjee and joined the revolutionary party. This party was known as Hindustan Prajatantra Sangh.

Chandrashekhar Azad was a highly popular freedom fighter in the Indian freedom struggle. He was close to Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil and Sardar Bhagat Singh. In 1922, Azad became an active member of the Hindustan Republican Association. Through this institution, he first committed Kakori kand on August 9, 1925, under the leadership of Ram Prasad Bismil and escaped. After the sacrifice of four prominent comrades with Bismil in 1927, he united all the revolutionary parties of north India and formed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association and avenged the death of Lala Lajpat Rai in Lahore with Bhagat Singh by killing Saunders, and reached Delhi and executed the Assembly bomb attack.

Chandrashekhar Azad was engaged in accelerating the revolution efforts by moving around all over India. But one day an informer informed the police that Chandrashekhar Azad was sitting with one of his accomplices in 'Alfred Park'. It was February 27, 1931. Chandrashekhar Azad sat down with his colleague Sukhdev Raj and had a discussion. On the information of the informer, the superintendent of police 'Natbabar' surrounded Azad at Alfred Park in Allahabad. With the saying "who are you" Natbabar shot Azad without waiting for an answer. Natbabar's bullet hit Chandrashekhar Azad's thigh. Azad dragged near one Jamun tree and fired his bullet on the Natbabar hidden in another tree. Azad's target was right and his bullet hit Natbabar's wrist.  

For a long time, Azad fought fiercely alone. He had already driven away his accomplice Sukhdevraj. Many of the police bullets had been pierced in Azad's body, and only one last bullet was left in his mouser. He thought that if I even fired this shot, there is a fear of being arrested alive. After this, Azad put the mouser's tube on his head and fired the last bullet on himself. And this revolutionary became immortal forever.
