India’s independence movement was a series of historic events and sacrifices by thousands of freedom fighters. Undoubtedly Mahatama Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmibai and many more are amongst the famous freedom fighters and have got the spotlights but there are some unsung heroes who played crucial role in India’s freedom movement. While the country celebrates 75years of its Independence, let’s take a look at some lesser-known freedom fighters of India.

please launch movie competition on all saints and unaun heroes. this can be web series as well like ones focussed on shani, Mahadev, etc. start a movement to encourage all real based cinematography in the film industry. a lot is yet to cover to replace fictive stories. the lesser is the hero known, the higher the priviledge/perks to the maker. amd make this media library available in most popular languages. like there is a movie I think on Sant Tukaram or Sant Dnyaneshwar, but it is only in Marathi. Another movie named Nanak shah fakir, kabirdas tulsidas etc. but all old and unknown. this media library should be categorized a humanitarian, and become a part of must watch before you die list for all movie enthusiasts. tag such movies to different things like games, exhibitions, school syllabus, etc. open cinemas just for these. time to educate our youth. develop an app so we can track movies we completed and wish to complete, as per age group, genre, etc.
