Explanation by: Admin

Lala Lajpat Rai was a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress and a key figure in the Indian independence movement.

  • He was part of the Lal-Bal-Pal trio (Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal), known for their assertive nationalism.
  • This statement reflects the spirit of assertiveness and self-respect advocated by Lajpat Rai.
  • He rejected the idea of Indians meekly begging the British for reforms or concessions, urging Indians to demand their rights with dignity and firmness.
  • This was a call for self-reliance and active struggle rather than passive submission or begging.
  • The statement embodies the nationalist and radical approach of leaders like Lajpat Rai against British colonial rule.

Why not others?

  • V N Mandalik: Less known for such fiery nationalist statements.
  • Bipin Chandra Pal: Also a radical nationalist but this specific statement is attributed to Lajpat Rai.
  • Abdul Kalam Azad: A great freedom fighter but more known for his intellectual and inclusive approach rather than this particular slogan.

Summary:

Lala Lajpat Rai’s statement encourages Indians to assert their rights boldly rather than passively waiting for British concessions — a hallmark of his nationalist ideology.
