today birthday of Ashfaqull khan.

[Anup Tiwari]

Ashfaqulla Khan was born on October 22, 1900 in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. He was the youngest of the six children of Shafiqur Rahman and Mazharunissa. His father worked in the police department. Ashfaqulla was school student when Mahatma Gandhi called for the Non-Cooperation Movement. This had a great influence on him and shaped him to become a freedom fighter. He was labeled as a terrorist by the British Government for his active participation in the train robbery at Kakori.

After the Chauri Chaura incident, Mahatma Gandhi's withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement left the youth of India very much depressed. Ashfaqulla was one of them. He felt the urge to free India as soon as possible and joined the extremists.

 

[Rajkumar]

"किये थे काम हमने भी जो कुछ भी हमसे बन पाये,
ये बातें तब की हैं आज़ाद थे और था शबाब अपना;
मगर अब तो जो कुछ भी हैं उम्मीदें बस वो तुमसे हैं,
जबाँ तुम हो लबे-बाम आ चुका है आफताब अपना.

अशफाकुल्लाह खां"

Google Translate

"Were made to us that we also become anything found,
They are talking to when he was free and youthfulness;
But now she Whatever expectations you just love,
Jabam you have been long-balm Aftab. "
