FROM THE GENERAL EDITOR
I have very great pleasure in placing before the readers the first fruits of great
endeavour undertaken by the ICHR. When I was in the process of accepting on
behalf of my organization the task of compiling a national register of martyrs in
the form of a biographical dictionary, I approached the project with trepidations.
On the one hand I was deterred by the thought that such a project would be
inevitably fraught with controversies, and on the other there was an awareness
that the ICHR owes to the people the best it can deliver to fulfill expectations.
The background to the project is as follows: A project to compile ëa national
register of martyrsí was initiated by the National Implementation Committee
for organising celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the uprising of 1857 and
60 years of Indiaís independence. The ICHR accepted the project and necessary
funds at the request of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. An
Advisory Committee, comprised of historians and representatives of the
Ministry of Culture and the National Archives of India, decided that the project
will produce a series of volumes entitled Dictionary of Martyrs: Indiaís Freedom
Struggle, 1857-1947, containing brief biographical notes based to the extent
possible on authentic archival and other contemporary documents. The
Advisory Committee also decided that the period to be covered by the present
project would be 1857 to 1947. (This, of course, does not preclude additional
projects to cover earlier years, if so proposed, to be taken up separately).
The Committee also accepted for purposes of this project a definition of
the term ëmartyrí which the Government of India adopted in 1980 to facilitate
the distribution of awards and pensions. ìA martyr is a person who died or
who was killed in action or in detention or was awarded capital punishment
while participating in a national movement for emancipation of India. It includes
an ex-INA or ex-military person who died fighting the Britishî.
Needless to say, there are quite a few biographical dictionaries of martyrs

an effort has been made to overcome such data limitations. Finally, it needs to
be said that a work of this nature cannot claim to be absolutely complete and
final. We may find gaps or omissions which need to be corrected; a
supplementary volume towards that end is part of the project plans.
In the last three years ICHR has published half a dozen volumes of the
Towards Freedom series; this meant documentation work of massive kind and
altogether about 4500 pages of documents have been published. This experience
was of great help to us. Some of those who worked in the present project have
had that experience as well. My role in the present work was marginal compared
to the enormous labour put in by the research team consisting of Dr. Rajesh
Kumar, Mr. Ashfaque Ali and Dr. Habib Manjar. In my judgement they have
done a marvelous job and so did Mr. Devendra Singh Bisht and Mr. Sanjeev
Singh who prepared the digital matter for the press. Sometimes the
administrative glitches which occur in a large project like this were taken care
of by Dr. Ishrat Alam, Member Secretary, and Dr. S.M. Mishra, Deputy Director
(Research), and earlier by Dr. P.K. Shukla.
Among those who helped the ICHR in the project I would like to thank my
historian colleagues, the experts who agreed to sit on the Advisory Committee
(Professors V. Ramakrishna, N. Rajendran, Subhas R. Chakraborty, T.R. Ghoble,
Indu Banga, V. Raghottam, Arjun Dev, Swaraj Basu, Dr. Pramod Mehra, Shri
S.M.R. Baqar) and the Northern Zonal Committee (Professors Indu Banga, Arjun
Dev, Swaraj Basu, Sunita Pathania, K.L. Tuteja, Sushil Srivastava, J.P. Mishra,
V.K. Vashistha, Dr. Amit Kumar Gupta and Dr. Pramod Mehra). And finally
thanks are due to the Secretary, Mr. Jawhar Sircar and Mr. Lov Verma and Dr.
T. Kumar, Joint Secretaries in the Ministry of Culture for their consistently
supportive role in this project.
