In the latest episode of Mann Ki Baat on 27th September 2020, Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi spoke about the art of storytelling. He mentioned that the history of stories is as ancient as the human civilization itself. ‘Where there is a soul, there is a story’.

As we are going to celebrate 75 years of independence, Prime Minister urged storytellers across the Nation to share stories of many inspiring events during the entire period of our enslavement. Especially, from 1857 to 1947, stories around every major or minor incident during this period can be introduced to our new generation.

“May this art of storytelling become stronger in the country, become more popularized and easier to imbibe - this is something we must all strive for”: PM Narendra Modi

Do you know of any inspiring event during the 1857-1947 freedom struggle that isn’t so well known? Maybe a long-forgotten hero who did not get as much prominence as he/she deserved? Maybe an incident which played a minor but important role in our struggle? A story you might have heard from a family elder, many years ago?

Tell us, we will feature your story for all Indians!

Share your story in the form of a video, audio clip, picture or essay.

Avenging the death of another freedom fighter, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh was successful at throwing two bombs and leaflets inside the Central Legislative Assembly while shouting slogans of Inquilab Zindabad. Held on these charges, Bhagat Singh undertook a 116 day fast in jail, demanding equal rights for both British and Indian political prisoners. Convicted and subsequently hanged at the age of 23, Bhagat Singh’s martyrdom has transformed him into a role model.

When the British deployed a company of Assam Rifles near Pegadapalle under the leadership of Saunders. Armed with tribal volunteers using bows and arrows, he openly rebelled against the British. Capturing the revolutionary leader was a herculean task but he was eventually overpowered. He was tied to a tree and shot dead with a rifle in Mampa village. The Department of Posts issued a 50 Paise multicolored stamp in memory of the freedom fighter Sri Alluri Sitarama Raju.

Alluri Sita Rama Raju (born July 5, 1897 – died May 7, 1924) was a force to be reckoned with for the British Empire. As a protagonist he led a band of tribals in the “Rampa Rebellion” of 1922-24. The Revolutionary leader, born with an ideology, earned himself the name “Manyam Veerudu” (Hero of the Jungles) among  the locals. In 1857, during the first war of independence, Sri Alluri Seetarama Raju traveled into the deep forests of Gond land, united different tribes, trained them in guerrilla war

Most people remember mahatma gandhi ji, only few people who remember subhash chandra bose. In 1942, he earned the title ‘Netaji’, in Germany by the Indian soldiers of the Azad Hind Fauj. Bose is credited with the very famous slogan, “Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom!” as well as “Jai Hind”. He is also credited to be the first man to call Mahatma Gandhi “Father of the Nation”, in his address from Singapore.

Once my grandfather Lala Ram Narain was called to an English Court for evidence. Being a true speaking man,he couldn't be grilled by opposition pleader.Irritated he asked how many partitions were their in his shop if he remembers everything accurately. My grandpa reported if he could tell the curves in his pagri as he was just coming from his office and he had travelled all the way from Subathu to Simla.Lawyer was irritated but English judge upheld his reply as Tit for Tat.

What is independence..?? we need to know the meaning first.. Is this the independent India where people are free to conduct any type of heinous acts?? Is this the glory of our independent India.. Recently the #Hathras case proved that independence is only for the evils.. not for the innocents.. It is 2020 and India is still not Independent.. then what to celebrate??? No idea how long we have wait for the Independent to be a right term for India n its Individuals..??
