EP 32 - Revolutionary Balraj Bhalla

  • Resumen

  • Revolutionary Balraj Bhalla was born on June 10, 1888 in Gujranwala district of Punjab. He joined the freedom movement at the young age of seventeen. He was inspired by the ideas and vision of Dadabhai Naoroji, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Romesh Chandra Dutt. He joined the revolutionary movement at a young age. Because of this his university degrees were withdrawn. He was also an admirer of Lala Lajpat Rai who was very close to his father. Bhalla was inclined towards revolutionary ideas and worked for armed rebellion against the colonial government. Balraj was very courageous and was ready to take the biggest risk. He believed that there was no harm in killing some representatives of imperialism or looting government banks in order to fulfil the sacred cause of independence. In 1919, Balraj Bhalla was sentenced to three years imprisonment on the charge of throwing a bomb on the Viceroy’s car. He was one of the prisoners who went on a hunger strike along with Bhagat Singh demanding to be treated as political prisoners. Listen to Azadi ke Deewane with Manni Sharma by Audio Pitara.
