Good morning to all my fellow Nationalists.
It's time for us to know something about the youngest Martyr of Indian freedom Struggle - Baji Rout is the youngest Indian martyr, having attained Martyrdom at the age of twelve. Thanks to @TejNittala for letting me know on him.
Rout, who was a boat boy, was shot by British police when he refused to ferry them across the Brahmani River on the night of 11 October 1938 at NilakanthapurGhat, Bhuban, Dhenkanal district. As an active member of the Banar Sena of Prajamandal (Party of people)..
He had volunteered to keep watch by the river at night. The British Police force ordered him to cross the river by his boat which he denied. The police force then fired upon Baji Rout along with Laxman Mallik and Fagu Sahoo.
A small boy at 12 was so patriotic. No words. #JaiHind
