Jatland’s Wiki Section Books on Jat History now contains text of a rare book connected with the freedom movement of India - The Autobiography of Ramprasad ‘Bismil’. This book was in fact banned by British Raj in India immediately after its first edition was out some time in 1930 or so. The book, however, was published after Independence by some Arya Samaj outfits, including by Haryana Sahitya Sansthan, Gurukul Jhajjar (Haryana).


Many of us have heard about Ramprasad Bismil but know very little about him. Bismil was the great freedom fighter and poet who also wrote the famous tarana (song) – Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna (सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है ). Perhaps no other song, with the exception of Bankim Chandra's Vande Matram, induced so many young men to lay down their lives for the motherland than this song written by Ram Prasad Bismil.


This great son of India was hanged to death by British Raj on 19 December 1927 inside Gorakhpur Jail. Bismil wrote his autobiography (in Hindi) in his prison-cell. Please read its full text on the following link of Jatland Wiki:

रामप्रसाद 'बिस्मिल' की आत्मकथा


The electronic text of the book was prepared by me and posted here, as a gift to Jatland.com. Let us remember Ramprasad Bismil, the great martyr, on his 80th death anniversary, by going through his autobiography which also provides some glimpse of the history of freedom movement.

Nice job DND sir :)

I saw it today at Jatland Wiki .... will surely read it ..

Ramprashad Bismil was the role model and inspiration for Chandershekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and other young freedom fighters of that time.
 
oh, that man Bismil, that converted Ashphaq ullah khan into a krantikari. I envied even Bhagat. Punjab govt recognised Bhagat and objected to his hat, but recognised his photo where this Jat ram was sitting on a charpai, without any hat...


but Sir, some Jat Genda Ram used to be there, jis ko dast lag gaye the. kitti palwal/hodal ke aas pass ka tha yo genda ram???

Not a Jat, his name was Pandit Gainda Lal Dixit, the main mind behind "Mainpuri Conspiracy". There is a special paragraph dedicated to him in the second chapter of Bismil's autobiography which can be read on Jatland Wiki.

Yes, Actually I have myself done it in MS Word before posting it here. If someone has adobe software, it can be converted in to adobe document also. Using copy-paste method from Jatland or wikipedia page, anyone of you can convert it into MS Word, Wordpad etc.

Great work Dayanand ji. It required a lot of labour by you. I have done some formating on Wikipedia as Hindi is a separate language there. Each language article is indicated on left panel under "In other languages". Hindi Wikipedia has welcomed as under and considering to make it a Wiki Source

लक्ष्मण जी, स्वागतम्

हिन्दी विकिपीडिया पर आपका हार्दिक स्वागत है।

आपने महान शहीद रामप्रसाद 'बिस्मिल' की आत्मकथा को विकि पर रखकर बहुत अच्छा काम किया है। किन्तु मुझे लगता है कि इसे विकिपीडिया के बजाय विकिपिडिया के एक अन्य बन्धु प्रकल्प हिन्दी विकिस्रोत पर रखना अधिक उपयुक्त होगा। विकिस्रोत ऐसे ही कार्यों के लिये बनाया गया है - कापीराइट से मुक्त पुस्तकों एवं दस्तावेजों के लिये। वहाँ पर पहले से ही आत्मकथा एवं जीवनी के लिये एक पेज बनाया हुआ है। गांधीजी की आत्मकथा वहाँ लिखिइ जा चुकी है। उसी तरह 'बिस्मिल' की आत्मकथा के लिये भी कर सकते हैं।

human sacrifice/mrityu dand/capital punishment was common in gwalior and teoti-huccan forts. and perhaps similar was common in Rome also, and perhaps everywhere. then why on discovery channel teoti-huaccan forts are being criticised.

"The question is not that human sacrifice was being practiced over there. but even bigger is that why???"

asks discovery (history) channel.


Though this is out of track, but even I've seen gwalior fort. and arrangement for mass execution of criminals by throwing them from the fort is there. This was due to the reason that Chambal was nearby. And many people there were of disobedient type. Similar situation continued till today.

What Arya Samaj did was to channelize the energies of these people in positive direction i.e. towards Swatantrata Sangram.

Bismil and Ashfaq were hanged to death on 19 December 1927. Just for record, I am pasting below a small article which appeared today, in case the URL gets spoilt after some time.

हंसते-हंसते झूल गए फांसी के फंदे पर
(Dainik Jagran, 18 December 2007)

नई दिल्ली। भारतीय स्वाधीनता संग्राम में काकोरी कांड एक ऐसी घटना है जिसने अंग्रेजों की नींव झकझोर कर रख दी थी। अंग्रेजों ने आजादी के दीवानों द्वारा अंजाम दी गई इस घटना को काकोरी डकैती का नाम दिया और इसके लिए कई स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों को 19 दिसंबर 1927 को फांसी के फंदे पर लटका दिया।

फांसी की सजा से आजादी के दीवाने जरा भी विचलित नहीं हुए और वे हंसते-हंसते फांसी के फंदे पर झूल गए। बात नौ अगस्त 1925 की है जब चंद्रशेखर आजाद, राम प्रसाद बिस्मिल, अशफाकउल्ला खान, राजेंद्र लाहिड़ी और रोशन सिंह सहित 10 क्रांतिकारियों ने मिलकर लखनऊ से 14 मील दूर काकोरी और आलमनगर के बीच ट्रेन में ले जाए जा रहे सरकारी खजाने को लूट लिया।

दरअसल क्रांतिकारियों ने जो खजाना लूटा उसे जालिम अंग्रेजों ने हिंदुस्तान के लोगों से ही छीना था। लूटे गए धन का इस्तेमाल क्रांतिकारी हथियार खरीदने और आजादी के आंदोलन को जारी रखने में करना चाहते थे।

इतिहास में यह घटना काकोरी कांड के नाम से जानी गई, जिससे गोरी हुकूमत बुरी तरह तिलमिला उठी । उसने अपना दमन चक्र और भी तेज कर दिया।

अपनों की ही गद्दारी के चलते काकोरी की घटना में शामिल सभी क्रांतिकारी पकडे गए, सिर्फ चंद्रशेखर आजाद अंग्रेजों के हाथ नहीं आए । हिंदुस्तान सोशलिस्ट रिपब्लिकन आर्मी के 45 सदस्यों पर मुकदमा चलाया गया जिनमें से रामप्रसाद बिस्मिल, अशफाकउल्ला खान, राजेंद्र लाहिड़ी और रोशन सिंह को फांसी की सजा सुनाई गई ।

ब्रिटिश हुकूमत ने पक्षपातपूर्ण ढंग से मुकदमा चलाया जिसकी बड़े पैमाने पर निंदा हुई क्योंकि डकैती जैसे मामले में फांसी की सजा सुनाना अपने आप में एक अनोखी घटना थी। फांसी की सजा के लिए 19 दिसंबर 1927 की तारीख मुकर्रर की गई लेकिन राजेंद्र लाहिड़ी को इससे दो दिन पहले 17 दिसंबर को ही गोंडा जेल में फांसी पर लटका दिया गया। राम प्रसाद बिस्मिल को 19 दिसंबर 1927 को गोरखपुर जेल और अशफाक उल्ला खान को इसी दिन फैजाबाद जेल में फांसी की सजा दी गई ।

फांसी पर चढ़ते समय इन क्रांतिकारियों के चेहरे पर डर की कोई लकीर तक मौजूद नहीं थी और वे हंसते-हंसते फांसी के फंदे पर चढ़ गए।

काकोरी की घटना को अंजाम देने वाले आजादी के सभी दीवाने उच्च शिक्षित थे। रामप्रसाद बिस्मिल प्रसिद्ध कवि होने के साथ ही भाषायी ज्ञान में भी निपुण थे। उन्हें अंग्रेजी, हिंदुस्तानी, उर्दू और बांग्ला भाषा का अच्छा ज्ञान था।

अशफाक उल्ला खान इंजीनियर थे। काकोरी की घटना को क्रांतिकारियों ने काफी चतुराई से अंजाम दिया था। इसके लिए उन्होंने अपने नाम तक बदल लिए। राम प्रसाद बिस्मिल ने अपने चार अलग-अलग नाम रखे और अशफाक उल्ला ने अपना नाम कुमार जी रख लिया।

खजाने को लूटते समय क्रांतिकारियों को ट्रेन में एक जान पहचान वाला रेलवे का भारतीय कर्मचारी मिल गया। क्रांतिकारी यदि चाहते तो सबूत मिटाने के लिए उसे मार सकते थे लेकिन उन्होंने किसी की हत्या करना उचित नहीं समझा।

उस रेलवे कर्मचारी ने भी वायदा किया था कि वह किसी को कुछ नहीं बताएगा लेकिन बाद में इनाम के लालच में उसने ही पुलिस को सब कुछ बता दिया। इस तरह अपने ही देश के एक गद्दार की वजह से काकोरी की घटना में शामिल सभी जांबाज स्वतंत्रता सेनानी पकड़े गए लेकिन चंद्रशेखर आजाद जीते जी कभी अंग्रेजों के हाथ नहीं आए।

Un sab veero ko shrdhanjali. Govt. is busy in encashing VIJAY DIVAS these days putting big cut-outs of IndiraGandhi. :) .... they are so cheap people that they even dont feel ashamed of it. Either they should mention somewhere the courageous armed forces or something like that but they are portraying as if it was only Gandhi who fought and win.

Ek baat to note kari Deshwal ji manne iss jeeavni mein ek kahin bhi Bismil ne naam nahi de rakhe apne sathiyo ke ... jinhone daga kiya unke bhi nahi .... perhaps he has not mentioned chander shekhar;s too anywhere, might be due to the secret purpose as in those days there was tight pressure. What do you say?
 
Aaj hi ki din Bismil ji Shaheed hue the aur aapke iss thread se badi shredhaanjali kuch nahi ho sakti yahan JL par. Ram Prasad Bismil Ji ko mera naman aur shradhaanjali.
