Narayan Chandra Maiti: I went underground to evade arrest, hid in jute fields
Today, the nation marks its Independence Day. But 101-year-old Narayan Chandra Maiti, a resident of Chakdurgadas, a remote village in West Bengal's East Midnapore district, is still fighting a legal battle in the Calcutta high court to get a pension under the Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme.'I had to go underground to evade arrest. I used to hide in jute fields. But one day when I was hiding in an abandoned village house, a villager recognised me and informed the police. I was arrested. Later I got bail,' he participated in the Quit India Movement of 1942 under the leadership of Sushil Kumar Dhara, freedom fighter who was later elected as an MLA in the West Bengal assembly and a Lok Sabha MP. A certificate given to Maiti by Dhara in 1981, states that between 1942 and 1944, Maiti was a worker of the government styled Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar and a soldier of its militia.'Several decades have passed since we gained independence. But there are many freedom fighters who are yet to get their due respect. There are many like me who are still fighting to get a freedom fighters' pension,' said Maiti.

'When the authorities failed to trace my father and others, our entire family was placed under house arrest,' he that time, bands of children aiding the freedom movement were popularly called the Vanar Sena. 'I was part of one such group in my village. Our role was to raise patriotic slogans, distribute pamphlets, paste posters, and carry food to revolutionaries in hiding, including my father, all while evading British spies,' he said. Eventually, the chowkidar of the village, Tendi Khurd in Shivli, alerted the police. 'I too was placed under house arrest, along with my siblings, for over three months,' he vision of independent India that Singh had cherished, however, remains unfulfilled, he claimed. 'Crime has risen sharply, and corruption has reached alarming levels. Although we have made remarkable economic progress, crime and corruption have also grown alongside it.'

Iqbal Singh went to jail when children his age learnt the alphabet
At an age when most children are busy learning the alphabet and numbers, Iqbal Singh was learning the harsh realities of colonial oppression — inside a prison cell. Iqbal Singh went to jail when children his age learnt the alphabet Now 89, the freedom fighter from Ferozepur district, who has lived in Ludhiana for 45 years, recalled how he was just 7 or 8 when he joined a protest against British rule. 'They arrested me along with other protestors and sent us to Lahore Central Jail. My age didn't matter to them; the British officers thrashed me mercilessly,' he said. After coming to Ludhiana, he started dairy farming. His son Gursewak Singh is continuing the business. He takes pride in India's development but he has one regret. 'The state government used to invite us to attend Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations every year,' he said. 'Now, very few of us freedom fighters are alive. Yet many of our demands, like proper housing and free medical facilities, remain unmet.'
