Did You Know Mahatma Gandhi Shares His Birthday with Another Indian Leader?

Very few know that 2 October is also the birth anniversary of another great leader and freedom fighter, Lal Bahadur Shastri. He was the second Prime Minister of the Republic of India. He is the first person to be posthumously conferred with the Bharat Ratna. During the Non-Cooperation Movement of Mahatma Gandhi in 1921, he joined processions in defiance of the prohibitory order. Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' to encourage the soldiers to defend India and simultaneously to cheer farmers to do their best to increase the production of food grains. Today is a day to remember and pay our tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lal Bahadur Shastri, for their valuable contribution to the history of Indian Independence.

Thank you, Sagar, for sharing valuable information with all of us. Both leaders are great and have contributed everything for the country, but we only remember Bapuji. We should pay tribute to all our freedom fighters.
