Nation remembers Lala Lajpat Rai on his birth anniversary

NEW DELHI: The Nation is remembering Lala Lajpat Rai on his 160th Birth Anniversary today.

The legendary freedom fighter and flag bearer of the Swadeshi Movement was born on this day in 1865, at Dhudike in the then Faridkot district of the Punjab Province of British India.

His father Munshi Radha Krishna was a government school teacher and his mother was Gulab Devi. He played a pivotal role in India’s Freedom Struggle.

Known as Punjab Kesari, Lala Lajpat Rai died of severe trauma injuries he sustained on his head during a baton charge by police in October 1928. The Police did the Lathi charge when Lalaji was leading a peaceful protest march against the all-British Simon Commission in Lahore.
