Explanation:
Answer:
Shri LAL Bahadur was born on October 2, 1904 at, a small railway town seven miles from Varanasi in Up Pradesh. His father was a school teacher who died when LAL Bahadur was only a year and half old. His mother, still in her twenties, took her three children to her father’s house and settled down there.
LAL Bahadur’s small town schooling was not remarkable in any way but he had a happy enough childhood despite the poverty that dogged him.
He was sent to live with an uncle in Varanasi so that he could go to high school. , or ‘little one’ as he was called at home, walked many miles to school without shoes, even when the streets burned in the summer’s heat.
As he grew up, LAL Bahadur became more and more interested in the country’s struggle for freedom from foreign yoke. He was greatly impressed by Mahatma Gandhi’s denunciation of Indian Princes for their support of British rule in India. Bahadur was only eleven at the time, but the process that was end day to catapult him to the national stage had already begun in his mind.
LAL Bahadur was sixteen when Gandhi called upon his countrymen to join the Non-Cooperation Movement. He decided at once to give up his studies in response to the Mahatma’s call. The decision shattered his mother’s hopes. The family could not dissuade him from what they thought was a disastrous course of action. But Bahadur had made up his mind. All those who were close to him knew that he would never change his mind once it was made up, for behind his soft exterior was the firmness of a rock.
Bahadur joined the Kashi Vidya in Varanasi, one of the many national institutions set up in defiance of the British rule. There, he came under the influence of the greatest intellectuals, and nationalists of the country. ‘’ was the bachelor’s degree awarded to him by the Vidya but has stuck in the minds of the people as part of his name.
In 1927, he got married. His wife, Devi, came from Mirza Puri, near his home town. The wedding was traditional in all senses but one. A spinning wheel and a few yards of cloth was all the dowry. The bridegroom would accept nothing more.
In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi marched to the sea beach at Dandie and broke the imperial salt law. The symbolic gesture set the whole country ablaze. LAL Bahadur threw himself into the struggle for freedom with feverish energy. He led many defiant campaigns and spent a total of seven years in British jails. It was in the fire of this struggle that his steel was tempered and he grew into maturity.
When the Congress came to power after Independence, the sterling worth of the apparently meek and unassuming LAL Bahadur had already been recognised by the leader of the national struggle. When the Congress Government was formed in 1946, this ‘little dynamo of a man’ was called upon to play a constructive role in the governance of the country. He was appointed Parliamentary Secretary in his home State of Pradesh and soon rose to the position of Home Minister. His capacity for hard work and his efficiency became a bye word in UttarPradesh. He moved to New Delhi in 1951 and held several portfolios in the Union Cabinet – Minister for Railways; Minister for Transport and Communications; Minister for Commerce and Industry; Home Minister; and during Nehru’s illness Minister without portfolio. He was growing in stature constantly. He resigned his post as Minister for Railways because he felt responsible for a railway accident in which many lives were lost. The unprecedented gesture was greatly appreciated by Parliament and the country. The then Prime Minister, PT. Nehru, speaking in Parliament on the incident, extolled LAL Bahadur Shastri’s integrity and high ideals. He said he was accepting the resignation because it would set an example in constitutional propriety and not because Bahadur was in any way responsible for what had happened. Replying to the long debate on the Railway accident, LAL Bahadur said; “Perhaps due to my being small in size and soft of tongue, people are apt to believe that I am not able to be very firm. Though not physically strong, I think I am internally not so weak.”
In between his Ministerial assignments, he continued to lavish his organising abilities on the affairs of the Congress Party. The landslide successes of the Party in the General Elections of 1952, 1957 and 1962 were in a very large measure the result of his complete identification with the cause and his organisational
