These are Khudiram Bose: Revolutionary Extraordinaire (English) written by Dr. Shri Hitendra Patel and Ajeya Krantikari- Rajguru (Hindi) by Shri Anil Verma respectively. The Minister for Information & Broadcasting Shri Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi released these books in the function here today. The first copies of the books were presented to Shri Debasis Roy, Grand Nephew of Khudiram Bose and Shri Satyasheel Rajguru Grand Nephew of Rajguru. In his address he paid glowing tributes to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their motherland. Releasing the books on two of the nations most illustrious heroes, he also recalled our tradition of selfless sacrifice, valiant struggle and boundless courage. He congratulated Publications Division for paying homage to two of nations greatest martyrs in the form of commendable books. The book Khudiram Bose: Revolutionary Extraordinaire reasonably priced at Rs. 85 puts forth several lesser known facets of the young revolutionary. Other than his life and activities, the book also contains the judgments of the High Court in Khudiram Boses case. Events of the early phase of freedom struggle have been woven into a rich tapestry with support of several rare pictures of Bose and his contemporaries in this book, which is bound to stir patriotic fervour in the readers hearts. Partition of Bengal in 1905 had triggered revolutionary activities all over India, particularly in Bengal and compelled youth to break away from the path of representations and requests and took arms against the British rule. Khudiram Bose, perhaps the youngest revolutionary in the history of Indias freedom movement, was one such worthy son of Mother India. Born in 1889 at Habibpur village near Midnapur, West Bengal, Khudiram became the trail-blazer for the militant nationalist movement of India against the imperialist powers. His bombing of a British officers carriage sent tremors of fear among the British authority. On 11th August 1908 this eighteen year old revolutionary embraced the gallows with a smile on his face and illuminated the way for hundreds of revolutionaries. Ajeya Krantikari- Rajguru has been written keeping in mind the fact that not much is written about him except for a few scattered articles with repetitive material. To present authentic version of the events associated with the martyr, information is culled out painstakingly from various sources. The price of this book is Rs. 135. Shivram Hari Rajguru was born in Khed village (now named as Rajguru Nagar) near Pune in Maharashtra on 24 August 1908. While in Varanasi to study Sanskrit and Hindu scriptures, he came in contact with revolutionaries and became active member of Hindustan Socialist Republican Army, coordinated by Chandrashekhar Azad. He was known in the party under the pseudonym of Raghunath. In the famous Lahore Conspiracy case, he was executed on 23 March 1931 along with Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev. With this supreme sacrifice he immortalized his name in the annals of history. He gave his life, so that India may live. Author of Khudiram Bose: Revolutionary Extraordinaire Dr. Hitendra Patel is a reputed scholar of History associated with Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata. Shri Anil Verma, author of Ajeya Krantikari- Rajguru is a judge and a prolific sports writer. He belongs to a family of illustrious freedom-fighters. His grandfather Late Shri Motilal Verma worked with Mahatma Gandhi as well as with Chandrashekhar Azad. Smt. Sushma Singh, Secretary I&B Ministry paid rich tributes to these worthy sons of Mother India in her inaugural address and thanked Shri Debasis Roy and Shri Satyasheel Rajguru for sparing time for the event.
