Remembering Lal Rajpat Rai: 95 Years Ago, a Tragic Incident Shook India
On this day, 95 years ago, a historic event took place that would forever be etched in the memory of India. Superintendent of Police, Scott, issued an order to the Indian police to lathi-charge a procession led by the revered freedom fighter, Lal Rajpat Rai, on October 30, 1928. This unfortunate incident resulted in Rai sustaining severe injuries, ultimately leading to his untimely demise.
Lal Rajpat Rai was a prominent figure in the Indian independence movement, known for his unwavering commitment to the cause. As news of his injuries spread, it sparked outrage and ignited a wave of protests across the nation. This incident served as a catalyst for the ongoing struggle against British colonial rule.
Today, we pay tribute to the indomitable spirit of Lal Rajpat Rai and remember the sacrifice he made for the freedom of our nation. Let us honor his memory by continuing to strive for justice, equality, and independence.
