Defying the Raj ~II

The inherent bond of revolutionary freedom fighters was evident in the Ghadar party’s formation. Advised by Lala Lajpat Rai, Lala Har Dayal went abroad to continue his work for the country’s freedom and, with other revolutionaries, founded the Ghadar party in the USA.

Popularly called Sher-e-Punjab and Punjab Kesari, Lala Lajpat Rai was brutally lathi-charged while leading a demonstration on 30 October 1928 against the Simon Commission in Lahore and attained martyrdom a few days later on 17 November 1928 due to severe injuries he received in this attack.
