In the latest episode of Mann Ki Baat on 27th September 2020, Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi spoke about the art of storytelling. He mentioned that the history of stories is as ancient as the human civilization itself. ‘Where there is a soul, there is a story’.

As we are going to celebrate 75 years of independence, Prime Minister urged storytellers across the Nation to share stories of many inspiring events during the entire period of our enslavement. Especially, from 1857 to 1947, stories around every major or minor incident during this period can be introduced to our new generation.

“May this art of storytelling become stronger in the country, become more popularized and easier to imbibe - this is something we must all strive for”: PM Narendra Modi

Do you know of any inspiring event during the 1857-1947 freedom struggle that isn’t so well known? Maybe a long-forgotten hero who did not get as much prominence as he/she deserved? Maybe an incident which played a minor but important role in our struggle? A story you might have heard from a family elder, many years ago?

Tell us, we will feature your story for all Indians!

Share your story in the form of a video, audio clip, picture or essay.

लेकिन जब देश को 15 अगस्त, 1947 को आज़ादी मिली तो वे इसके जश्न में शामिल नहीं हुए।आजादी के लिए मात्र 18 की उम्र में फाँसी का फंदा चूम लिया था खुदीराम बोस ने।"आओ झुक कर सलाम करें उनको, जिनके हिस्से में ये मुकाम आता है, खुशनसीब होता है वो खून जो देश के काम आता है'।" 11 अगस्त, 1908 को सुबह 6 बजे हाथ में गीता लेकर खुदीराम बोस हंसते-हंसते फांसी पर झूल गए। तब उनकी आयु मात्र 18 साल 8 महीने और 8 दिन थी।

भारत के स्वाधीनता आंदोलन का नेतृत्व महात्मा गांधी ने किया था. लेकिन जब देश को 15 अगस्त, 1947 को आज़ादी मिली तो वे इसके जश्न में शामिल नहीं हुए।आजादी के लिए मात्र 18 की उम्र में फाँसी का फंदा चूम लिया था खुदीराम बोस ने।"आओ झुक कर सलाम करें उनको, जिनके हिस्से में ये मुकाम आता है, खुशनसीब होता है वो खून जो देश के काम आता है'।" 11 अगस्त, 1908 को सुबह 6 बजे हाथ में गीता लेकर खुदीराम बोस हंसते-हंसते फांसी पर झूल गए। तब उनकी आयु मात्र 18 साल 8 महीने और 8 दिन थी।

Vasudaiva kudumbakam should be India's narrative and India should promote VK alliance of nations with Vaishnava Janato...as anthem as sung by various internationa singers.This will impromove harmony in India and the world.Reduce the pressure due to capitalist competitive forces

"vasudaiva kudumbakam"(VK) idea--which you refer often should be above the liberty equality and fraternity in Constitution ;VK means simultaneous oneness and difference(SO&D)-preserving diversity is foundational to democracy and biodiversity.Oneness is the means of ensuring justice and equality.So religions in India have to have mutual self respect enshrined and cant promote disrespect/hatred.All preachers have to conform to this.Also should not encourage killing of animals VK includes animals.

ALL DEAR CITIZENS, AS WE KNOW THE CORRECT AGE FOR ANY ACHEIVEMENT IS FOR NATION, SELF AND FAMILY IS ABOVE 20 YEARS BUT SOME JOINED IN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN EARLY AGE AND DEDICATED LIFE. AFTER RECEIVING BRITISH PUNISHMENTS AS AGE, HEALTH AND FAMILY NEEDS FORCE THEM TO WITHDRAW FROM NATIONAL STRUGGLE AND LEAD LIFE OF THEIR CHOICE THE CONDITIONS WERE DICTATED BY BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO APOLOGISE AND THOSE CONSTRAINED BY CIRCUMSTANCES DID SO AND BECAME UNPOPULAR IN PUBLIC LIFE.

Namaskaram PM ji,before 1857 itself battle for independence broke out in TN by "Pooli Thevan"."Kuyili" was the first freedom fighter to light herself with oil and bombarded british arm depot.1807 revolt broke out in Vellore jail against british before 1857 revolt."Maruthu Brothers" self sacrificed by surrendering to british when they threatened to burst the Kaalayar Koil Shiva Temple.Brothers asked to bury facing Lord Shiva after hanging.Sadly these stories less in out history books.
