Know more about Khudiram Bose the unsung hero of Indian Independence
New Delhi: Though India's freedom struggle saw a significant participation of people from every nook and corner of the country, unfortunately several of them have remained unknown and unsung. One such legend was Khudiram Bose
The people in it were his guests, the wife and daughter of a lawyer named Kennedy, and a servant.
The daughter and the servant died instantly. Mrs.Kennedy who was seriously injured died a day or two later.
He had to flee from the scene but was later arrested about twenty kilometres from Samastipur and twelve kilometres from Pusa Bazaar where Rajendra Agricultural University was first established.
The railway station where Khudiram was arrested as he was drinking tea was earlier known as Pusa Road and recently has been renamed as Khudiram Bose Pusa (KRB Pusa).
Khudiram Bose was sentenced to death on August 11, 1908 on the charges of bomb attacks. His last words before being hanged were, ‘Vande Matram'.
Khudiram Bose will always be remembered in the history of Indian independence as the proponent of the 'Agni Yuga' or the fiery age, an era which was characterized by young people getting involved in the fight against the British without thinking twice about their own lives.
