Bikaner Students Raised Funds, Said 'Jai Hind' in Class for Azad Hind Fauj

• In 1945, the British government tried three prominent members of the Azad Hind Fauj (Prem Sehgal, Gurbaksh Singh, Shahnawaz Khan) for rebellion, sparking widespread outrage.
• Students of Dungar College and Rampuria College in Bikaner actively collected funds to support the Azad Hind Fauj soldiers.
• Rampuria College students, influenced by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, marked their attendance by saying 'Jai Hind' instead of 'Present Sir' in 1945.
• Historian Dr. Nitin Goyal highlighted these actions as proof that Netaji's leadership transformed the freedom movement into a people's movement.
• The incident underscores the deep patriotism and courage among youth across India, including Bikaner, during the freedom struggle.

Why It Matters: Bikaner students showed immense patriotism by funding and saluting the Azad Hind Fauj during the freedom struggle.
