(2) Briefly explain the Revolutionary activities in India.
In India, Vasudev Balwant Phadke initiated revolutionary activity by organizing backward castes and giving them combat training. As the people in many parts of Maharashtra and Mumbai were harassed by Rend and his assistance during the deadly plague, Damodar Chafekar and Balkrishna Chafekar brothers killed him.
Savarkar founded the revolutionary movement Mitra Mela in 1980, later known as Abhinav Bharat. His book Indian War of Independence 1857 was the first book in history to be banned for publication. After carrying out revolutionary activities abroad, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Then he was sent to Andaman Jail, where his health deteriorated, so he was kept under house arrest.Â
The Anushilan Samiti was established in Kolkata during this time, and Barinder Ghosh became its leader in this organization. Barinder Ghosh also carried out extensive literary training to spread revolutionary activities.
The Revolutionary movement in Bengal was carried out by Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chandra Chaki. In order to kill magistrate Kingford, they threw a bomb on the wagon, but advocates wife and daughter were seated inside instead of Kings Ford, so they died. Khudiram Bose was executed, while Praful Chaki sacrificed his life by shooting himself.
An excellent example of Hindu Muslim unity can be found in Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqulla Khan, who participated in the Kakori train robbery plan in which money was looted from the English Treasury to finance Revolutionary activities and purchase weapons. Ashfaq Ram Prasad Bismil, Roshan Singh, and Rajendra Nath were arrested and executed.
 At that time, Durga bhabhi was a major mode of communication between the revolutionaries. She encouraged women to participate in revolutionary activities like posting posters, distributing leaflets, raising money for the cases in court using guns, etc.
 From childhood, Chandrashekhar Azad became involved in Revolutionary activities. He took part in kakori robberies and vowed not to be captured alive by the British government. In 1931, while clashing with the British at Alfred Bagh in Allahabad, he became a martyr with a pistol.
