Proud to be an Indian. Jai Hind 🙏

Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi
Also known as Kulpati, Munshi was mighty active during India's freedom movement, especially the Quit India Movement. He was the founder of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. The number of times he was arrested by the British regime showed his dedication and passion for an independent India.

Raja Narayan Singh of the Pawai Dynasty.
The internet, like historians, has nothing to tell about the Raja. A Google search disappoints. But for some research papers, the name of Raja Narayan Singh of Aurangabad (Bihar) seems to have been dusted off the pages of history. 

The Raja preceded freedom fighter Mangal Pandey by more than 90 years. His forefathers were descendants of the indefatigable Prithvi Raj Chauhan.

Advocate Nripendra Singh, the Raja’s eighth generation descendant, says, "Raja Narayan Singh’s name comes first in the list of India’s freedom fighters." He wants Raja Narayan Singh named the “First Enemy of the British.” Historian Professor Tarkeshwar Prasad Singh believes history has not done justice with the Raja.

It was very clear the Raja would never kowtow to the British. He could have stayed loyal to the British like other zamindars and enjoyed the spoils of station but he chose to refuse to pay the Malgujari tax.
