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.

The Indian Independence Movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending the British rule in India. The movement spanned from 1857 to 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal.[2] It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking only their fundamental right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more rights.

स्वतंत्रता संग्राम ने नारी शक्ति के एक महत्वपूर्ण पहलू को भी सामने लाया। सदियों से, महिलाओं को वशीभूत किया गया था और उन्हें अपमान की स्थिति में हटा दिया गया था। हालाँकि, जब विदेशी आक्रमण की गति बन गई, तो ऐसे उदाहरण सामने आए, जहाँ महिलाओं ने विदेशी शासन के खिलाफ आवाज उठानी शुरू की और उन पर होने वाले अत्याचारों का विरोध किया। रानी लक्ष्मीबाई, सरोजिनी नायडू और कई अन्य लोगों के कई उदाहरणों ने साबित कर दिया कि महिलाएं उग्र थीं और उन्होंने स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में सक्रिय रूप से भाग लिया।

She was in charge of supplying revolvers to those involved in the operation. Raj Kumari hid the firearms in her undergarment and went to deliver them, with her 3 year old son alongside.

Peer Ali Khan was one of the initial rebels of India. Khan was part of the 1857 freedom struggle and among the 14 people who were given capital punishment due to their role in the freedom movement. Even still, his work inspired many who followed. But generations later, his name just faded away.
