Born as Chandra Shekhar Tiwari on July 23, 1906, in the small village of Bhavra in Madhya Pradesh, Chandra Shekhar Azad emerged as a symbol of revolutionary zeal from an early age. His passion for India’s independence was kindled during his youth, and by the age of 15, he had joined Mahatma Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement. Though the movement was non-violent in nature, Azad’s involvement marked the beginning of his commitment to the freedom struggle — a path that would soon take a more radical turn.
On 27 February 1931 in Allahabad’s Alfred Park, #ChandraShekharAzad attained martyrdom for India. He fought to the last with this gun.
GUN HE USED FOR LAST TIME
Born in a Brahmin family on July 23, 1906, to Pandit Sitaram Tiwari and Jagrani Devi, he spent his early childhood in the Bhabra village of Madhya Pradesh.
