LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI |
|
| The
Young SatyagrahiIn 1921, Mahatma Gandhi
launched the non-cooperation movement against British Government and declared that the
country would not cooperate with the Government in its unjust rule. Lal Bahadur was then
only seventeen years. When Mahatma Gandhi gave a call to the youth to come out of
Government schools and colleges, offices and courts and to sacrifice everything for the
sake of freedom, Lal Bahadur came out of his school.
His mother and other relatives advised him not to give up his studies. But Lal Bahadur was firm in his decision -Lai Bahadur joined the procession, which disobeyed the prohibitory order. The police arrested him. But as he was too young, he was let off. Lal Bahadur did not go back to his school. He became a student of Kashi Vidya Peeth.
During his four years' stay there, he made excellent progress. Dr.Bhagawandas's
lectures on philosophy went straight to his heart. In later life Lal Bahadur displayed
surprising poise in the midst of conflict and confusion. This he learnt from his teacher,
Bhagawandas. |
