As part of the 'Bharat Ki Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations, a series of events are being organized by the Government of India to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence.

Through this MyGov activity, we aim to revisit history and acknowledge our local heroes whose struggles during the Freedom Movement have not received prominence in the conventional storyline. Let's raise awareness about our freedom struggle & the unsung heroes associated with it. It’s time that the contributions of fighters like Veer Gundandhur, Velu Nachiyar, Bhikaji Cama, etc. see the light of the day.

This is your chance to tell the story that must be told and honour the freedom fighters who have played an important role in making our nation free.

Share the stories with all the details and celebrate Bharat Ki Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav with us.

Senapati Bapat Born: 12 November 1880. Died: 28 November 1967. Story About his Contribution to Freedom Movement : Pandurang Mahadev Bapat re-aligned himself with Gandhi's vision of swaraj. From 1921, Bapat led 3 year farmer's protest against the construction of Mulshi Dam by Tata company . Company had initially dug test trenches on land without obtaining permission and farmers, who were mostly tenants, objected in fear of losing their lands. Dam was eventually constructed and thus protest ultimately failed. Compensation for lands submersed by dam's construction was eventually arranged but was given to landlords rather than to tenants. Although satyagrahas are intended to be non-violent, Bapat was jailed for vandalism of construction project rather than be captured for this, he turned himself in. His third jail sentence was for speaking at public gathering held by Subhas Chandra Bose. He acquired the title of Senapati, as consequence of his leadership during the Mulshi satyagraha.
