Lala Lajpat Rai Birth Anniversary: Every year on January 28, people from all across the nation celebrate this special day. The commemoration of Lala Lajpat Rai's birth anniversary is very important, as it celebrates his life and his contributions to the Indian independence struggle. Lala Lajpat Rai, who was born on January 28, 1865, was an important leader in the struggle against British colonial control. His perseverance, leadership, and support of social and political reforms were qualities that defined his work.
In 1920, Lala Lajpat Rai was elected President of the Indian National Congress, and then in 1921, in Lahore, he was also the founder of the "Servants of the People Society." Not only that, but Lala Lajpat Rai, known as the "Lion of Punjab," was also cherished for his active participation in a number of movements, such as the Non-Cooperation Movement and the demonstrations against the Simon Commission.
So here, we have curated some of his motivational quotes for you, which you can share with your friends, family, and close ones on this special day.
