Was Lala Lajpat Rai intentionally subjected to the f@tal att@ck that took his life?
#Thread
He was a stalwart leader of Cong, especially in Punjab.
It was with the Arya Samaj that Lala Lajpat Rai’s political career began. Soon after his graduation, he became

inspired by the philosophy of Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
He believed the regeneration of the glorious Hindu spirit was essential for attaining independence from the British.
It was him who suggested a just bifurcation of two Nations based on Religion much before Jinna@h

In 1877, Swami Dayanand Saraswati had established the Arya Samaj in Lahore. The Hindu revivalist movement looked to modernise Hinduism by removing some of its corrupting influences and seek the essence of Vedic culture that it believed represented the religion’s true form.

In 20th Century, British along with certain supporters had heightened the sense of Communalism in politics.
Between Hindi, Moslem , sikhs about varying Identities.
In 1909, the Minto-Morley Reforms providing Muslims with separate electorates were introduced. 
To cement it

It was Rai who reigned supreme in the province of Punjab. Yrs be4 Gandhi entered national politics.
Rai,along with Bal Gangadhar Tilak & Bipin Chandra Pal, laid foundation of a militant,assertive nationalism within INC that Gandhi & Jawaharlal Nehru later built upon

They were seen as extremists in the party unlike the rest of the moderates.
Nitish were happy with the rest since they complied to dominion of Brits.
However, Lal Bal Pal,gave rise to likes of Bhagat Singh, who believed in Total Independence!
Hence not liked by Gandhi

after the massacre of peaceful protestors at Jallianwala Bagh in 1919 and Mahatma Gandhi’s call for non-cooperation in 1920. Rai, a fierce nationalist, was a reluctant ally of Gandhi during the two years the non-cooperation movement lasted. He had predicted at the onset

that this non-violent movement would fail. He was proved right when a violent clash between protestors and policemen in Chauri Chaura (in modern Uttar Pradesh) in February 1922 left 25 people dead and prompted Gandhi to abandon the movement
The Moslem league called for

Protest against Simmon commission
Lala suffered head injuries in that protest by British Police.

On November 17, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai died in Lahore, a city that had been his home since 1880, when he joined the prestigious Government College to study law.
The doctors

declared heart attack to be the cause of death. But it was widely believed that the blows Rai had received at the hands of the British police a few days ago.

The political scenario changed forever.
Another Hindu Nationalist safely out of the way from Nehru walking to throne

I refuse to belive that his de@th was not plotted, when so conveniently INC has done everything in their capacity to have him forgotten.

What we saw this 26th was started the day Lala ji left this world & mo strong Hindu leadership has been allowed in Punjab eversince

Today I am thankful to @BJP4India & Modi ji that I am reliving my real history.
I'm motivated to go back & read between the lines
To search & cherish my real heroes.
Understand how v hav been fooled all These yrs
Lalaji u will live in our hearts forever
