It was the evening of October 30, 1928. Standing on the platform at a crowded public meeting in Lahore City, Lala Lajpat Rai said in an inspiring voice:
“Every blow on our bodies this afternoon will prove to be a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism.”
Terrible blows battered the chest and the body of the great man who made that stirring speech. The humiliation inflicted by the high-handedness of the British was more painful than the wounds.
