Khudiram Bose was one of the first martyrs of Indian youth who started revolutionary activities and engaged in bomb-throwing against British imperialists. Inspired by the leaders of the freedom movement, at a very young age he was attracted towards revolutionary activities. He was born on 3rd December 1889 and was hanged on 11th August 1889, at the young age of 18.

He was charged with bombing a vehicle supposed to be that of the British magistrate. The occupants were killed, but the Magistrate was not in it. While trying to escape he was caught and the trial went on for about three years. The best Indian advocates argued for his defence, but the British officers had already decided that he should not be allowed to live.

He was hanged on 11th August 1889. The young revolutionary faced death with a smile on his face. He knew that the fire he has started will grow and one day India will be free.

It became true. After the martyrdom of Khudiram, more and more young men were attracted to revolutionary movement and many British magistrates and officers who were cruel and inhuman were killed. Many of these young men also became martyrs.

My Red Salute to the memory of Khudiram Bose, who sacrificed his life for the country at the young age of only 18.
