Salute to the national heroes...

fighters in the Amrit year and made the nation feel its
extraordinary power and capabilities which ended the

of slavery was spent in the struggle. No part of
India or any time period remained untouched by
the freedom struggle against several centuries of
slavery and marked by people sacrificing themselves
