The Unsung Freedom Fighters of Odisha

Dr. Braja Kishore Sahoo

Introduction

The author had once visited his grandparents in the summer vacation. His grandfather was a great narrator. He used to narrate various historical stories to his grandchildren. Once, he told me about the history of their village,’ Baladiabandha.’ This escalated to a deep conversation. And they decided to go on for a trip exploring their village. The author was deeply touched with the folk tales connected with the history of the place.

Days later, grandfather passed away. The author then realized that he had deeply fallen in love with history - the modern history, from the decline of Mughals to the Independence of India. He then started reading a variety of books and discovered the stories of long-lost freedom fighters whose efforts weren’t observed as those of others. With an effort to bring into limelight their struggle for independence, he wrote this article the ‘Unsung Freedom Fighters of Odisha.’

So, after reading numerous books and collecting manuscripts, this composition was prepared focusing on the truth content. Distinctive efforts of the freedom fighters have been put into writing.

The Structure of the Article

I have divided this paper into four distinct parts. Part 1 is the introduction to the paper. It deals with a brief note of the subject matter under discussion.

Part 2 deals with those writings where the author visited his grandparents in the summer vacation, and his grandpa’s telling him about the history of their village - “Baliabandha”.

Part 3 of this paper speaks about the unsung heroes of the freedom fighters of Odisha. In addition, I cite exclusively the names of the unsung women freedom fighters from Odisha who have contributed a lot to the National Freedom Movement.

Part 4 presents the conclusion. In this part, I acknowledge the sacrifice of the said heroes and their immense role in making India a new nation.

This is only the beginning part of the article. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IN PRINTER-FRIENDLY VERSION.
