Today we remember one of the fiercest revolutionaries of our country during the freedom struggle, viz. Chandra Shekhar Azad (23 July 1906 – 27 February 1931).
Born as Chandra Shekhar Tiwari in the Bhawra village of Alirajpur district (then Central India Agency and now Madhya Pradesh) he assumed the name as ‘Azad’ (The liberated), after his arrest by Britishers during the non-cooperation movement in 1921 and he had to undergo fifteen days’ rigorous imprisonment for it.
He was considered the mentor of Bhagat Singh. He was also instrumental in reorganizing the Hindustan Republican Association under a new name ‘Hindustan Socialist Republic Association’ after the death of its founder Ram Prasad Bismil and he is also considered the Chief Strategist of it.
On this day in 1931 Chandra Shekhar Azad shot himself, when he was surrounded by British Policemen at Alfred Park Allahabad, now known as ‘Chandra Shekhar Azad Park’.
He was only 24 years old then.
I will keep today’s post brief and I will hold back the detailed discussion on Chandrashekhar Azad for a future post.
Our film makers have time to time produced films on our National heroes, freedom fighters, freedom movement and revolutionaries. And, on our blog also remember the great heroes and discuss movies /songs from films made on these great persons who sacrifice their present for the sake of the future of the nation. We owe our freedom to these great souls and it is our duty to remember them, pay our heartfelt tributes to them and feel grateful for their supreme sacrifices that they made for the sake of the country and its people.
We are all aware that Chandra Shekhar Azad’s character has also been included in all the films made on the life of Bhagat Singh. Starting from Manoj Kumar’s 1965 film ‘Shaheed’ where Man Mohan played the role, every Bhagat Singh film has featured the character of Azad. Sunny Deol portrayed Azad in the movie ‘23rd March 1931- Shaheed’. In the movie ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’ starring Ajay Devgan, Azad was portrayed by Akhilendra Mishra (these three being the most popular films made on the life of Bhagat Singh).
The lives of Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Bismil and Ashfaq were depicted in the 2006 film – “Rang De Basanti” with Amir Khan portraying Azad. The movie, which draws parallels between the lives of young revolutionaries such as Azad and Bhagat Singh, and today’s youth, also dwells upon the lack of appreciation among today’s Indian youth for the sacrifices made by these men.
Today, I take this opportunity to introduce this 1963 Film ‘Chandra Shekhar Azad’.
I came across two songs from this film a few months backs and I shared them with Atul ji. I had no detailed information about this film at that time. However I came across this video clip a few weeks ago during my routine search for songs online. This video includes the title of this film. From this video it is clear that JAIRAJ played the role of Chandra Shekhar Azad in this film.
This film was produced by Mrs. Mallika Kwatra and N.S.Kwatra. Its star cast includes Nirupa Roy, Jairaj, Tun Tun, Indira Bansal, Indira Billi, Leela Mishra, Bhagwan Sinha, Jagdish Gautam, Haroon, Kabuli and Majnu. Its story and dialogues were written by Jagdish Gautam. Lyrics are by Prem Dhawan and music composed by Sardul Kwatra and Bhagwant Kwatra. This film was directed by Jagdish Gautam.
(The video clip is incomplete and having disturbances)
However the audio of the full song is available as well and we have the lyrics of the full song here from its audio.

Lyrics
Uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
kaali kutiyaaon se dekho
phoote hain ujiyaale
phoote hain ujiyaale
thhar thhar thhar thhar kaanp rahe hain
gori chamdiwaale
gori chamdiwaale
ye do din ke mehmaan
zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
hum na hindu hain na muslim
hum insaan hain saathi
hum insaan hain saathi
zulm se takraane waale
sab ek samaan hain saathi
ek samaan hain saathi
badlaa hai bhagwaan
zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
humne milke aaj hai
shaahi taaqat ko lalkaara
taaqat ko lalkaara
chhodo Bharat
chhodo Bharat
goonja apna naara
goonja apna naara
chhodo Bharat
chhodo Bharat
goonja apna naara
goonja apna naara
hum aaj nahin bejaan
zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
maidaanon mein jhoom ke nikle
laakhon hi mastaane
laakhon hi mastaane
dharti maa ko choom ke nikle
laakhon seena taane
laakhon seena taane
har ba-gairat peshaani pe
khoon se ye likha hai
wo jeena hi kya jaanega
jo na marna jaane
jo na marna jaane
de denge apni jaan
zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
uthha hai toofan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan
uthha hain toofan
jaaga Hindustan
khoon shaheedon ka dekho to
aakhir rang hai laaya
aakhir rang hai laaya
katra katra aaj samundar
ban kar hai lehraaya
ban kar hai lehraaya
laakhon deep bujhe to
nikla aazaadi ka sooraj
aazaadi ka sooraj
laal qiley par phir se apna
jhanda hai lehraaya
jhanda hai lehraaya
hui desh ki oonchi shaan
zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan zamaana badal rahaa
jaaga Hindustan
jaaga Hindustan
jaaga Hindustan
