Our real heroes (23) Master Amirchand.

Master Amirchand was born in 1869 at Delhi. He was a great social activist and worked for widow marriage, spread of education. He had a great interest on freedom movement and after meeting Lala Har Dayal, he became a prominent member of Gadhar Party. Being inspired by Ras Behari Bose, he did several revolutionary activities on North-east India. He was highly involved in Delhi Conspiracy case, where he and his group planned to kill Lord Hardinge. According to the plan, Amirchand, Avadh Behari, Basant Kumar Biswas and Bhai Balmokand threw bomb on him while he was passing on an elephant at Chandni Chowk. He was participating in a rally regarding Delhi declared as India’s capital. They all were arrested in Feb, 1914 and sentenced to death on 5 October, 1914 and died on gallows on 8 may, 1914. I salute this martyr.
