Know how he escaped the trial for Kakori conspiracy->
Chandra Shekhar Azad, born on July 23, 1906, was a pivotal figure in India's struggle for independence.
He had transformed the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA) into the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA).
Azad was a staunch believer in armed revolution against British rule in India and acted as a mentor to revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru.
Azad's attempt to avenge Lala Lajpat Rai's death led to the mistaken killing of John P. Saunders, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, instead of James A. Scott, a police superintendent.
The Kakori conspiracy, involving Azad, Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan, aimed to fund the HRA by robbing a British train, marking a bold stand against colonial taxation.
On August 9, 1925, the conspirators stopped a train near Kakori to rob it of tax money collected from Indians, resulting in the unintentional death of a passenger, Ahmad Ali, in the process.
Post-Kakori, the British government prosecuted the involved revolutionaries, leading to death sentences for Bismil, Roshan Singh, and Rajendra Nath Lahiri, among others.
Azad managed to escape capture during the crackdown on the HRA members post-Kakori incident, showcasing his commitment to the cause and his cunningness in eluding British authorities.
The trial of the Kakori participants in 1926 underscored the British efforts to suppress revolutionary activities.
Azad ended his life on February 27, 1931 at Alfred Park, to avoid capture by the British, symbolizing his commitment to freedom.
