तुझ पे दिल क़ुरबान

ऐ मेरे प्यारे वतन, ऐ मेरे बिछड़े चमन

तुझ पे दिल क़ुरबान

तू ही मेरी आरज़ू, तू ही मेरी आबरू

तू ही मेरी जान

(तेरे दामन से जो आए उन हवाओं को सलाम

चूम लूँ मैं उस ज़ुबाँ को जिसपे आए तेरा नाम ) - २

सबसे प्यारी सुबह तेरी

सबसे रंगीं तेरी शाम

तुझ पे दिल क़ुरबान ...

(माँ का दिल बनके कभी सीने से लग जाता है तू

और कभी नन्हीं सी बेटी बन के याद आता है तू ) - २

जितना याद आता है मुझको

उतना तड़पाता है तू

तुझ पे दिल क़ुरबान ...

(छोड़ कर तेरी ज़मीं को दूर आ पहुंचे हैं हम

फिर भी है ये ही तमन्ना तेरे ज़र्रों की क़सम ) - २

हम जहाँ पैदा हुए

उस जगह पे ही निकले दम

तुझ पे दिल क़ुरबान ...

माँ मुझे सैनिक बना दो...

माँ मुझे सैनिक बना दो...

चाहता रणभूमि को जाना

मुझे तलवार ला दो

आज सुनना चाहता हूँ

मैं न परियों की कहानी

आज मुझसे मत कहो

था एक राजा एक रानी

किंतु राणा की, शिवा की

शक्ति तुम मुझमें जगा दो।

माँ मुझे सैनिक बना दो...

जो उठाए भूल कर भी

आँख मेरी मातृ-भू पर

मैं उड़ा दूँ शीश उसका

वह मुझे कौ‍शल सिखा दो।

माँ मुझे सैनिक बना दो..

शत्रुदल के प्रबल बादल

देश के नभ पर रहे घिर

आँसुओं से मार्ग मेरा

तुम न रोको, आज माँ फिर

आज तो रण-तिलक मंगल

विहँस मस्तक पर लगा दो।

माँ मुझे सैनिक बना दो..

Journey of Subhash Chandra Bose from Germany to Japan

Subhash Chandra Bose (Left) met Hitler in Germany

Subhash Chandra Bose, popularly known as Netaji Subhash Chadra Bose was one of the greatest leaders of Indian Freedom Movement. He was a colleague of Gandhi, who was fighting against British in non Violent way. But when 2nd world war broke out, Subhash Chadra Bose thought that it was the best opportunity for India to get freedom by armed revolution. His plan was to co-operate with Germany and Japan and attack British India. He was sure that Indian soldiers in British army will rebel against the British Government as soon as his army will attack India.

British Government house arrested him, but he escaped and went to Afghanistan, and then to Germany and met Hitler. There he spoke with Hitler about his plans. Hitler assured him to help, and the first step was to give radio speeches for Indian soldiers in British army as well as common Indians who were in mood of getting freedom.

But when Hitler was unable to help more, Subhash Chandra Bose planed to go to Japan, and attack British India with Japan's help. Hitler arranged a submarine for Bose. It was a U-180 German submarine. Werner Musenberg was the Captain of the Submarine. Abid Hassan, a personal assistant and a doctor of Subhash Chandra Bose was his fellow traveler in this journey.

On 9th February 1943, the submarine sailed from Keil, to travel towards Indian ocean. When it detoured south Africa and turned to east, a British tanker Corbisconfronted. U-180 sank the British Tanker. Three days later, a Japanese submarine I-29 met with U-180 near Madagascar. Subhash Chandra Bose and Abid Hassan boarded on Japanese submarine which successfully and safely reached to Japan.

Later Subhash Chandra Bose attacked British India from Eastern front with Indian National Army, which was formed by Ras Bihari Basu and expanded by Subhash Chandra Bose.

Garland Functions of Subash Chandra Bose for Azad Hind Fauz

Once, a big rally was organized by the Indian Independence League at Singapore to welcome Netaji. A research states that as the huge gathering of Indians in Singapore garlanded Netaji, nearly a truckload of garlands accumulated there. Netaji humbly thanked all the present there for their kind and lovable gesture. Later he announced that he would like to auction the garlands that had been put around his neck. He said he would use that amount to build an undauntable army – Azad Hind Fauz.

The bid started with Rs 25, 000. The first garland was auctioned for Rs 1 Crore and 3 Lakh. The garland was purchased by a Muslim industrialist of Malaya, Habibur Rehman. Women gathered in the event offered their valuables and gold ornaments. Total collections at this auction were about Rs 25 Crore.

One young man in the crowd also wanted to bid a garland. He just had 7 lakhs with him. It was the savings of all the he earned in his entire life. His name was Shekar a native from Banaras. However to his dismay some other man in the crowd offered Rs 25, 000 more. To this Shekar walked near the dice and pleaded Netaji to give the garland to him. He said, “Seven lakhs is all the money that I have. Please give it to me. I want to be a part of this freedom struggle by sacrificing all my life’s earning.” Subash Chandra Bose was moved by the Shekar’s patriotism and gave the garland to him with great pride and honour.

Subash collected donations from Indians throughout Asia. Once in Penang a small flower vase was presented to Netaji. He announced his intention to auction it for Rs 25, 000. His eyes were filled with tears when the first bid was for Rs 51, 000. Great were those men in olden days that had a clear vision for their country. They gave their life, their earnings and everything to make our future secure and free. Let’s take a minute to salute those wonderful souls, who could stand against fierce and mighty British Empire.

Subhas Chandra Bose

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose stands out as a dynamic restless force in an era which had chosen the path of Gandhi, the path of peace and non-violent and non co-operation. Subhas Chandra Bose was a true son of Bengal.

Subhas Chandra Bose was born on 23rd January, 1897 in Cuttak. His mother Prabhabati Devi was a very pious lady and she was devoted of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa. His father Janakinath Bose was a eminent lawyer.

All long Subhas Chandra Bose was an exceptional child. He passed the Intermediate exam in the first division in 1915. He was a student of Presidency College. But he was rusticated soon when he showed his anger against Professor Oten, who had a habit of denigrating India and Indian at every occasions. Then it was Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee who readmitted him and helped him to pass the B.A in 1919. He was so meritorious that he studied only for eight months and came out fourth in the Indian Civil Service (ICS) examination but he had no intention of joining the British instead of spending his life luxuriously he came back to India in 1921. In 1928 he was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Calcutta Corporation. Then in 1930, the countrymen elected him to the post of mayor in Calcutta when he was in jail. Soon he became very popular. In 1938 he was elected President at the Haripura Congress Session. Not only that but also he was elected president of Tripuri Congress in Madhya Pradesh in 1939. Later he resigned the presidentship of the Congress and established Forward Block within the Congress in May 1939 to rally the youth for the anti-British campaign in the country. He organized Indian Army Force (INA) in Germany after escaping from the imprisonment of his house. The Japanese surrendered on 6th August 1945 to the British American Force in Second World War. The next day, he boarded a Japanese plane for some unknown destination. It was presumed that he died in a plane crash on Farmosa Island but his end has still remained a mystery. This beloved hero will live forever in our mind by his speech “Our mother land is in search of freedom; she is in need of rebels who will drown the enemy in the pool of blood. Give me blood, I promise you freedom.” His stirring victory slogan “Jai Hind' drew India into one united country.

Chandrashekhar Azad (1906-1931)

Chandrashekhar, a fearless revolutionary and a great freedom fighter, was born on July 23, 1906 in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. He was the son of Pandit Sita Ram Tiwari and Jagrani Devi. He started his education in Bhavra and at the age of 14 he went to Varanasi where he was taught to live the austere life of a Brahamachari. 

During his stay in Varanasi he was highly inspired by the Non Cooperation movement of Mahatma Gandhi. He actively participated in the movement for which he was sentenced to fifteen lashes of logging at the age of 15. In the court he addressed himself as ‘Azad’, and gave his father’s name as ‘Swadhin’ and his mother’s name as ‘Dhart Ma’. With endurance, courage and fortitude he tolerated all the lashes. With each stroke of the whip he shouted ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. From then, he was honored and titled as ‘Azad’ by the local Indians. Thereafter, he got the name Chandrashekhar Azad. When he was released, he took a pledge that he would never be arrested by the Britishers and will die as a free man. 

When the Non Cooperation Movement was suspended due to Chauri-Chaura incidence, Azad switched over to armed revolution and formed ‘Hindustan Socialist Republican Association’ with other revolutionaries to spread the message of complete independence. He actively participated in revolutionary activities and was involved in Kakori Train Robbery and the attempt to blow up the Viceroy's train in 1926. For British Government, he was a terrorist because he killed John Poyantz Saunders to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. 

On 27th February 1931, Azad was betrayed by one of the associates who informed the British Police. In Alfred Park, Allahabad he was besieged by the British police. He fought bravely for quite some time but seeing no other way he shot himself and fulfilled his desire to die a 'free man'. A great Indian leader, Chandrashekhar Azad was the heart of all revolutionary leaders and his poetic composition, ‘Dushman ki goliyon ka hum samna karenge, Azad hee rahein hain, azad hee rahenge'.

Khooni Hastakshar (Dedicated to Shubash Chandra Bose)

वह ख़ून कहो किस मतलब का

जिसमें उबाल का नाम नहीं!

वह ख़ून कहो किस मतलब का

आ सके देश के काम नहीं!

वह ख़ून कहो किस मतलब का

जिसमें जीवन, न रवानी है!

जो परवश में होकर बहता है,

वह ख़ून नहीं है, पानी है!

उस दिन लोगों ने सही सही

खूँ की कीमत पहचानी थी.

जिस दिन सुभाष ने बर्मा में

मांगी उनसे कुर्बानी थी.

बोले, "स्वतंत्रता की खातिर,

बलिदान तुम्हें करना होगा.

तुम बहुत जी चुके हो जग में,

लेकिन आगे मरना होगा.

Bole swatantrata ki khatir

Balidaan tumhe karna hoga

Tum bahut ji chuke ho jag mein

Lekin aage marna hoga

He said, "For your freedom,

you'll have to sacrifice.

You've lived enough in the world;

now death is freedom's price.

आज़ादी के चरणों में जो

जयमाल चढाई जाएगी,

वह सुनो, तुम्हारे शीशों के

फूलों से गूंथी जाएगी.

आज़ादी का संग्राम कहीं

पैसे पर खेला जाता है?

यह शीश कटाने का सौदा

नंगे सर झेला जाता है.

आज़ादी का इतिहास कहीं

काली स्याही लिख पाती है?

इसके लिखने के लिए

खून की नदी बहाई जाती है."

यूँ कहते कहते वक्ता की

आँखों में खून उतर आया.

मुख रक्त वर्ण हो गया

दमक उठी उनकी रक्तिम काया!

आजानु बाहु ऊंची करके,

वे बोले, "रक्त मुझे देना.

इसके बदले में भारत की

आज़ादी तुम मुझसे लेना."

हो गई सभा में उथल पुथल,

सीने में दिल न समाते थे.

स्वर इंकलाब के नारों के

कोसों तक झाए जाते थे.

"हम देंगे देंगे ख़ून"

शब्द बस यही सुनाई देते थे.

रण में जाने को युवक खड़े

तैयार दिखाई देते थे.

बोले सुभाष, "इस तरह नहीं

बातों से मतलब सरता है.

लो, यह कागज़ है, कौन यहाँ

आकर हस्ताक्षर करता है?

इसको भरनेवाले जन को

सर्वस्व-समर्पण करना है.

अपना तन-मन-धन-जन-जीवन

माता को अर्पण करना है.

पर यह साधारण पत्र नहीं,

आज़ादी का परवाना है.

इस पर तुमको अपने तन का

कुछ उज्ज्वल रक्त गिराना है!

वह आगे आए जिसके तन में

खून भारतीय बहता हो!

वह आगे आए जो अपने को

हिन्दुस्तानी कहता हो!

वह आगे आए, जो इस पर

खूनी हस्ताक्षर देता हो!

मैं कफन बढाता हूँ, आए

जो इसको हँसकर लेता हो!"

सारी जनता हुंकार उठी -

हम आते हैं, हम आते हैं!

माता के चरणों में यह लो,

हम अपना रक्त चढाते हैं!

साहस से बढे युवक उस दिन,

देखा, बढ़ते ही आते थे!

चाकू-छुरी कटारियों से,

अपना रक्त गिराते थे!

फिर उसी रक्त की स्याही में,

वे अपनी कलम डुबोते थे!

आज़ादी के परवाने पर

हस्ताक्षर करते जाते थे!

उस दिन तारों ने देखा था

हिन्दुस्तानी विश्वास नया.

जब लिखा था रणवीरों ने

खूँ से अपना इतिहास नया.

कवि: गोपाल प्रसाद व्यास

English Translation

Of what good is the blood
that can't come to a boil?
Of what good is the blood
that can't protect its soil?

Of what good is the blood
that's not alive with ardor?
The blood that flows not free
it's not blood, it's water!

The day blood got appreciated,
when people realized its worth
was in Burma when Subhash asked
them to sacrifice for their earth.

He said, "For your freedom,
you'll have to sacrifice.
You've lived enough in the world;
now death is freedom's price.

In the feet of freedom,
the gardland that is spread,
Listen! It will be woven
with your severed heads.

The battle for independence
isn't won on money, be sure.
Commitment to supreme sacrifice
is on barenecks endured.

The history of freedom struggle,
in black ink isn't written or read.
For its sake, bravehearts have
let loose floods of blood red."

In so saying the speaker's
eyes had become blood shot,
face had acquired blood's hue
blood-red body glowed, so hot.

He raised his hands, declared,
"Give me your blood, come.
And in fair exchange,
I will give you freedom."

There was a tumult in the crowd,
hearts couldn't contain the joy.
Rallying cries traveled miles,
reaching the hoi polloi.

"We are, we are ready to bleed"
Only these words could be heard.
To go into the battlefield,
men stood ready, undeterred.

Subhash dared, "Not like this!
For they say talk is cheap.
Seal your commitment now
by signing on this sheet.

The person signing up here
has to dedicate his all -
possessions, relations, body, soul,
whole life to this clarion call.

But this is no ordinary letter;
It's a declaration of independence.
Drop some virile blood of your body
on it, I give you the chance.

Step forward and be counted
if Indian blood's in your veins.
Step forward and be counted
if you call yourself Indians.

Step forward and be counted
by signing here in blood.
I offer a shroud, come,
to go with a smile into the mud."

Everyone shouted back,
here we come, here we come.
In the cause of the motherland,
we'll give our blood some.

The youth advanced with courage,
and they kept climbing the stairs.
With blades, knives, and steel,
they'd drop some blood of theirs.

Then in the ink of that blood,
they'd dip the nibs of their pen
and make their signatures on
the declaration of independence.

saw an Indian faith all new,
when with their blood, the braves
wrote India's history anew

March, March on forward

With pleasure-songs onward.

Life belongs to the land.

You better die than Backward

Indian tigers, spring ahead

Save thy nation than thy head.

Striking terror among enemies

To thee is feather-bed.

Thy valor is again free

Thy Almighty graces thee.

Thy Enemy at the front

Sinks down on his knee.

"To Delhi" be thy Battle Cry,

hoisting thy standard high.

Fluttering atop the Lalquila

Let it fly, let it fly.

Leaflet thrown by Bhagat Singh in Central Assembly Hall, New Delhi (1929)

Leaflet Starts Now :

Leaflet thrown in the Central Assembly Hall, New Delhi at the time of the throwing voice bombs :

On the 8th April, 1929, the Viceroy's proclamation, enacting the two Bills, was to be made, despite the fact that the majority of members were opposed to it, and had rather rejected in earlier. 

The Hindustan Socialist Republican Army 

(Notice)

"It takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear, with these immortal words uttered on a similar occasion by Valiant, a French anarchist martyr, do we strongly justify this action of ours."

"Without repeating the humiliating history of the past ten years of the working of the reforms (Montague-Chelmsford Reforms) and without mentioning the insults hurled at the Indian nation through this House-the so-called Indian Parliament-we want to point out that, while the people expecting some more crumbs of reforms from the Simon Commission, and are ever quarrelling over the distribution of the expected bones, the Government is thrusting upon us new repressive measures like the Public Safety and the Trade Disputes Bill, while reserving the Press Sedition Bill for the next session. The indiscriminate arrests of labour leaders working in the open field clearly indicate whither the wind blows." 

"In these extremely provocative circumstances, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, in all seriousness, realizing their full responsibility, had decided and ordered its army to do this particular action, so that a stop be put to this humiliating farce and to let the alien bureaucratic exploiters do what they wish, but they must be made to come before the public eve in their naked form."

"Let the representatives of the people return to their constituencies and prepare the masses for the coming revolution, and let the Government know that while protesting against the Public Safety and Trade Disputes Bills and the callous murder of Lala Lajpat Rai, on behalf of the helpless Indian masses, we want to emphasize the lesson often repeated by history, that it is easy to kill individuals but you connot kill the ideas Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived. Bourbons and Czars fell. While the revaluation marched ahead triumphantly." 

"We are sorry to admit that we who attach so great a sanctity to human life, who dream of a glorious future, when man will be enjoying perfect peace and full liberty, have been forced to shed human blood. But the sacrifice of individuals at the altar of the 'Great Revolution' that will bring freedom to all, rendering the exploitation of man by man impossible, is inevitable." 

"Long Live the Revolution."15
