Now Let’s Know About the Stories of Some of the Real Heroes
Initially, Mughals kept India as slaves and the fur-Englishmen did so. In this way, India spent nearly 200 years in slavery. It was the time period of 1757 to 1947. A Mughal period was started by Babar who came to rule India and lots of our fighters had lost their lives in order to save the motherland. They had looted the whole nation and ruled us. Warriors like Rani Lakshmibai, Shivaji, and Rana Pratap etc were there who had made things difficult for them. Post that, East India Company ruled from 1857 after finishing the kingdoms of Mughals.

Lots of freedom fighters like Mangal Pandey, Bhagat Singh, Azad, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatam Gandhi, Shubhash Chandra Bose, Sarojani Naidu and Abul Kalam etc… were lost their lives so that their nation would stay happy and secure.
