Chandigarh, March 3, 2023: The Department of Political Science, Panjab University, Chandigarh on Friday, organized a special lecture on the topic “Life and Contribution of Lala Lajpat Rai in Indian Nationalist Movement” by Prof. Sukesh Chander Sharma, Department of Bio-Chemistry, Panjab University, Chandigarh in the Conference Hall, Department of Political Science, P.U. Chandigarh.
Dr. Sharma said that Lala Lajpat Rai was a prominent nationalist leader who played an important role in India’s struggle for freedom. He was a prominent member of the famous ‘Lal Bal Pal’ firebrand trio during the independence movement. His fierce brand of patriotism and potent vocalism against the British rule earned him the title of ‘Punjab Kesari’ or the Lion of the Punjab. He also initiated the foundation of Punjab National Bank. In 1897, he founded the Hindu Orphan Relief Movement to keep the Christian missions from securing custody of these children. His contribution to the field of education and women empowerment is exemplary.
The formal lecture was attended by the faculty and students of the department including the researchers.
