Hasrat- The Resistance in Himself

Abstract

Maulana Hasrat Mohani was an outstanding revolutionary, a protagonist of Communism and Socialism, an inveterate opponent of the oppressive and exploitative imperialists, a man of principles, a sympathetic soul and a committed poet. In an age when most of the colonized people of the British Empire were enthralled by Europe; worshipped it most devotedly; could neither see with their own eyes nor were any more left capable of thinking for themselves; there arose a small band of resistants and revolutionaries of whom Hasrat Mohani glittered more prominently, opposed the British imperialism and other exploitative classes by all possible means and gave the usurpers a very tough time.
