Batukeshwar Dutt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batukeshwar Dutt was an Indian revolutionary in the early 1900s. He was known for his assistance of Bhagat Singh in the Assembly Bombing of 1929 and for his part in the hunger strike initiated by Bhagat Singh. [1] He was a member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, one of the first Marxist parties in India.
Batukeshwar Dutt outlived all his comrades and died in July 1965 in Delhi. After his release from prison, he participated in the Quit India movement. But in Independent India he did not receive any recognition. He was cremated near Ferozpur in Panjab where the bodies of his comrades Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev were cremated many years ago.
