On this Independence Day, let us commemorate those warriors--Freedom Fighters and Soldiers, who fought for India's Sovereignity. Some held the pen to fight and some fought with their swords.All the brave souls will be an inspiration to us, the proud citizens of India.Their ideals, courage and legacy will continue to guide us to the Pinnacle of glory.Indians, on this occassion also ought to thank the Armed Forces and the Intelligence Officers-- who risk their life and limb for our peaceful sleep i.e. protecting our FREEDOM.
Let's also pay tribute to a few unsung heroes who were pushed into obscurity--
1. The Indian soldiers of the British Navy and Royal Indian Airforce, who initiated the Armed Mutiny of 1946-- they went around in trucks holding the portrait of S.CHANDRA BOSE & the tri-colour flag after disobeying the white officers. They were all battle hardened soldiers of the World War 2.
2. The 1700 soldiers of J-Company, Signal Training Centre- Jabalpur. Their subsequent involvement in the 1946 Mutiny, frightened the British Army Chief, Gen. Claude Auehnileck-- who sent cables to Britain to expedite the Transfer of Power.The Jabalpur soldiers' dependents are nowhand-to-mouth as they were denied their pension. Reason-- their struggle was not 'recognised' --it went unrecorded in British records out of fear. Gen VK Singh tried his best to help those poor souls but got stuckin the red tapism of bureaucracy. 'Contribution of Indian Armed Forces to Freedom Movement' ~ VK Singh.
3. The 800 men of Malabar Special Police who revolted against the British, during the1946 Mutiny-- being the only Indian police force to.
4. Bagha Jatin, Nair San and Champakaraman Pillai-- expatriates who fought for India. Pillai coined the cry--Jai Hind-- and Bose 'popularised' it.
5. Chandrasekar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Kshudiram Bose, Sukdev, Rajguru, Ashfaqullah Khan and Ganesh Babarao Savarkar (younger brother of Veer Savarkar)-- who struck terror in the hearts of the British.
6. The unknown Indian National Army soldiers who were tricked into fighting against the British and eaten by the Japanese Soldiers after their purpose was served. There are no war memorials for these 10000 soldiers.
7. The 1.1 and 2.43 Lakh Indians who died, fighting both the world wars. They were used as canon fodder.
8. All loyal ICS--Indian Civil Service officerswho helped in the unification of 500 princely states (of course, under Sardar Patel) with the Indian Union.
