Lajpat Rai became an active member of the Indian National Congress, working towards the empowerment of Indians and the fight for independence from British rule
He played a crucial role in organizing protests against the colonial government, especially in Punjab, advocating for civil rights and social reforms
In 1928, Lajpat Rai led a peaceful protest against the Simon Commission. During the protest, he was severely injured in a police lathi charge by British officials, an injury that ultimately led to his death a few weeks later
Lajpat Rai's martyrdom inspired many Indians to continue the fight for freedom. His contributions to the independence movement and his focus on social justice left a lasting impact, especially in the fields of education and social equality.
