There was a boy of age 12 in the year 1918 during the freedom struggle. His name was Chandrashekhar Tiwari. Once the boy was sitting in the class. After some time he heard the slogans from outside. He took the permission from his teacher and went outside to see what was happening. He saw a sage leading some group. Then he came to know that it was a freedom movement. Suddenly there was a change in the situation. He saw some British officer attacked the crowd and hit the sage. This young patriotic boy who was observing all this was angry to see all this did not keep quoit. He took a stone in his hand and hit the British officer. The policemen attacked the boy to catch. But he escaped from the place. The next morning the police went to Chandrashekhar's school and arrested the young boy. He was submitted to court. The judge asked the boy to tell his name. The brave boy told his name as "Azad" which means freedom. The judge was shocked. He asked the boy to tell his father's name. The boy replied saying "Swadheenata". Then the judge with anger asked his last question,"Tell your address". The boy laughed and replied that he likes to be in jail and that was his permanent address. Then the judge gave him the punishment to beat the boy with the wet rope made up of leather by a fat healthy person 12 times. The boy told that it was a shame for his act to get only 12 so asked the judge to increase the punishment. But the judge refused and the boy was taken to the place where he should be beaten. There the boy was made naked and the man started beating. It was so hard that the boy's skin was tore. But the boy did not have tears but cried loudly "Onde Mataram". For every beat his voice increased. After the 12 beats the jailer returned the boy's dress. But the boy could not wear because the body was bleeding. The flesh had come out. He was given 12 paise to put bandage. The boy told to give the money to queen Victoria and tell her that it was given by a young Indian patriot as out. The boy was none other than the great legend "Chandrashekhar Azad".
