How did Babu Genu gain martyrdom? |
|
Answer» Great Freedom Fighter ‘Hutatma’ Babu Genu embraced martyrdom. On this day in 1930 Babu Genu along with his colleagues protested the entry of foreign goods and made every effort to prevent the same. The police held them back to make way for the trucks that carried the goods. However Babu Genu managed to free himself and lay on the road in a bid to block the truck’s path. The truck driver being Indian refused to drive over Babu Genu. This angered the then Officer-in-Charge who took control of the truck and ran over Babu Genu. Babu Genu’s sacrifice infused vigour and triggered a wave of protests strikes and agitations. |
