RARE PHOTOGRAPHS
SINDHI FREEDOM FIGHTER HEMU KALANI


Hemu Kalani was a Sindhi Freedom Fighter. He was underage at the time of hanging but, despite that he was hanged which was deviation of law and an unhuman act by the British Empire. His mother insisted upon him to appeal for amnesty and disclose the names of his friends in order to save his life but this brave son of soil refused to do so and chose death to amnesty. When his last will was asked, he asked the duty staff to state slogans. Since it was his last will and it was mandatory to fulfill it therefore, they replied his slogans "Azaadi Zindabad"...
It is important that we remember from time to time the sacrifices made for our freedom...We were/are Indians, not Sindhis, Hindus, Muslims, Gujaratis, Marathis...
