Revolutionary Movement & INA (Set 2)

The poem was written in 1921 by Bismil Azimabadi of Patna, not by Ram Prasad Bismil. Bismil made the lines famous by reciting them before his own execution.

Rajendra Lahiri was hanged on 17 December 1927 at Gonda Jail, two days before Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Roshan Singh were hanged on 19 December 1927 at separate jails.

On 9 August 1925, ten revolutionaries stopped a train near Kakori and looted government treasury bags worth about ₹4,600, to fund the HRA’s activities.

Sarabha led the Punjabi edition of the Ghadar newspaper, the party’s main organ among Indian immigrants.

A police informer exposed the plot, and mass arrests began on 19 February 1915, before the planned mutiny could occur.

He was tried and executed following the First Lahore Conspiracy Case, alongside six other revolutionaries, on 16 November 1915.

Bhagat Singh always carried a photograph of Sarabha, discovered on him at his own arrest years later.

Jatindranath Mukherjee killed a Royal Bengal tiger with a dagger in March 1906, after it attacked him near his village. The Bengal government awarded him a silver shield, and the title stuck.

The SS Maverick was to deliver an estimated 30,000 rifles, ammunition, and funds near Balasore. The plot was betrayed before the delivery could take place.

The gun battle took place on 9 September 1915. Jatin died of his wounds at Balasore district hospital the next day, 10 September 1915, aged 35.

Jatin became one of the principal leaders of the Jugantar party, the central body coordinating armed revolutionary activity in Bengal. The Hindustan Republican Association was a separate, later organisation, founded by a different generation of revolutionaries in the 1920s.

Jatin and Barindra Kumar Ghosh worked together to recruit young revolutionaries across Bengal. Ram Prasad Bismil and Chandrashekhar Azad belonged to a separate, later revolutionary generation in the 1920s.

Chaki and Khudiram Bose threw a bomb at a carriage on 30 April 1908, intending to kill magistrate Douglas Kingsford.

The bomb hit the wrong carriage. It killed the wife and daughter of a local barrister, while Kingsford was not in the vehicle.

Cornered by a police officer on the platform at Mokama station, Chaki shot himself rather than face arrest. He was 19.

Barindra Kumar Ghosh recruited Chaki into Jugantar in Calcutta. Ghosh later organised the Maniktala bomb factory and was tried in the Alipore Bomb Case.

The Ghadar Party formed among Indian immigrants at Astoria, Oregon, with Bhakna as its first president.

The crackdown after Muzaffarpur uncovered the Maniktala bomb factory, leading to the Alipore Bomb Case against Barindra Kumar Ghosh, Aurobindo Ghosh, and others. The Kakori Conspiracy and Chittagong Armoury Raid belonged to later, separate revolutionary campaigns.

He worked in lumber mills across the Pacific Northwest after migrating to California in 1907.

Sarabha was executed at age 19 in 1915, while Bhakna survived imprisonment and lived to 98.

The bomb, thrown into the Viceroy’s ceremonial howdah in Chandni Chowk, injured Hardinge and killed his mahout.

The Soma family, who owned the Nakamuraya bakery in Tokyo, sheltered Bose; he later married their daughter, Toshiko.

He handed leadership to Subhas Chandra Bose in Singapore in 1943, stepping back from the organisation he had built.

Sarabha and Bhakna were both tied to the same 1915 conspiracy Rash Behari Bose helped organise from inside India.

He became a naturalised Japanese citizen in 1923, after marrying into the Soma family and settling in Tokyo.
