Historic Freedom

Historic Freedom

Partition of Bengal victimized the Divine land,
The conscious souls triggered patriotism,
'Vande Mataram' was the uniting cry!

Muslim League was founded,
'Boy revolutionary' executed,
'Morely-Minto Reforms' were launched,
Ghadar Party was formed,
Freedom was yearned!

Home Rule League was started,
Champaran Campaign launched,
Trade Union movement began,
Rowlatt Bill was introduced,
Victory was yet to be earned!

Thousands of gatherers,
Faced the Amritsar Massacre,
House of Commons passed
Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms.
The major reform was yet to be witnessed!

Various movements and commissions,
Epic dandi march, Round table conferences,
August Offer and Crips Mission,
All led to the Great August Uprising!

With Partition of Bengal,
Patriotic movements were triggered!
With Partition of India,
Freedom was earned!
Further, with repeal
Unity in Tricolour was achieved!
