72nd independence day.

Bihar’s Dumraon has an important role to play in India’s freedom struggle.

Even as the day stirs up patriotic feelings in me, I always wonder what I can do to utilise it in a better manner. I am sure that many feel the same, so this year, as India enters its 72nd year of being an independent country, here are five things you can do:

The 12-year old Baji Rout hailed from Odisha, where he stood up against the British and lost his life.

Das hails from Odisha, where he was arrested for the first time when he was just 14 years old.

Nariman was a follower of Gandhi, and was instrumental in exposing British corruption.

One of the men who decided it was enough was V O Chidambaram Pillai, also known as VOC. A man responsible for motivating people to drive out the British with defiance.
