FROM THE GENERAL EDITOR
I have great pleasure in placing before the reading public Part II of Volume 1 of the
Dictionary of Martyrs. The background of this Project, undertaken at the request of
the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, as well as its scope, sources,
methodology and format have been outlined in the General Editor’s Note at the
beginning of Part I of the volume.
Part II brings up the data available on the region now known as Punjab,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi up to 1947. In addition, it incorporates such
data as are available in the sources at the National Archives of India on the erstwhile
North West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P.). Our Research Team has tried to gather as
many names as possible of those who were martyred for their participation in the
following movements, organisations and incidents: the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation
movements, the Akali movement (Nankana Sahib tragedy, Jaito Morcha, Guru-ka-
Bagh Morcha and Bhai Pheru ka Morcha), Babbar Akali movement, the
Revolutionary movement (Lahore Conspiracy Case), the Civil Disobedience
movement, the Qissa Khawani Bazar (Peshawar) firing, Kisan movement in Loharu,
the Praja Mandal movement in the Princely States, the “Quit India” movement, the
Indian Legion, the Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army.
The entries include, where available, information regarding the date, year and
place of birth, place of residence and occupational identity of the martyrs.
Our endeavour has been to make the Dictionary as inclusive as possible. Of
course, a work of this nature can never claim to be absolutely complete or final. We
may find omissions which need to be taken note of, and a supplementary volume
towards that end is part of the Project plan.
Considering the massive extent of the Project, and after the experience gained
while completing Part I of the volume, my predecessor, Professor Sabyasachi
Bhattacharya, and the Central Advisory Committee decided to engage a Research
Consultant for the project. Professor Amit Kumar Gupta agreed to take up this
responsibility. His vast experience and ability to guide team-research has proved
invaluable. Professor Bhattacharya too, in his own inimitable scholarly way
contributed richly to the preparation of this Part II.
Professor Gupta and his team of researchers – Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Mr. Ashfaque Ali
and Md. Naushad Ali – have put in enormous labour and done an admirable job
viii Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947), Vol. I, Part II
in researching and preparing Part II for the Press. My special thanks to them as also
to Mr. Devendra Singh Bisht and Mr. Sanjeev Singh who prepared the digital material
for the Press.
I should like to thank Dr. Ishrat Alam, Member Secretary and Executive Editor,
and Dr. S.M. Mishra, Coordinator, for efficiently taking care of all the administrative
aspects for facilitating the work of the Project.
I should also like to thank my historian colleagues 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,
Mushirul Hasan) and the Experts (Professors Indu Banga, and K.L. Tuteja).
Finally thanks are due to the Secretary, Mr. Jawhar Sircar and Dr. T. Kumar,
Mr. Lov Verma and Mr. Sanjiv Mittal, Joint Secretaries, Mr. Kanwar Sameer Lather,
Director in the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, for their consistently
supportive role in this project.
