In current time India is nothing but more than a piece of secularism so we don't need any story of freedom fighters. The decision of Gandhi ji was not good in time partion of India. In current time in India there are two types of supporting once Gandhi Ji and second Nathu Ram Vinayak Godse.

Baji Rout (5 October 1926 – 11 October 1938) was the youngest Indian freedom fighter and martyr, having been killed at the age of twelve. He was born on 5 October 1926. Rout, who was a boat boy, was shot by British police when he refused to ferry them across the Brahmani River on the night of 11 October 1938 at Nilakanthapur Ghat, Bhuban, Dhenkanal district. Baji Rout was the youngest son of a boatman on the Brahmani river. As an active member of the Banar Sena of Prajamandal (Party of People), he had volunteered to keep watch by the river at night. The British Police force ordered him to cross the river by his boat which he denied. The police force then fired upon Baji Rout along with Laxman Malik, Fagu Sahoo, Hrushi Pradhan and Nata Malik. it is one of the darkest yet golden page in our indian freedom struggle

Many freedom fighters families are not getting any support from the Government and they are neglected. This is really sad. All MLAs and MPs across the country should identify the freedom fighters who are suffering without any financial support and they should come forward to help them to get the needed facilities. They should allot some percentage from their constituency development fund alloted to them to support the needy freedom fighters. Still there are many freedom fighters suffering without any basic facilities and at the same time fake people in the name of freedom fighters enjoy all sorts of facilities from the Government. All facilities should be scrapped for such fake people claiming as the freedom fighters. Monthly pension scheme should be given to those who fought during the independence movement and got arrested and tortured. State wise commemorative stamps of real freedom fighters should be released. Then only it will help the youngsters to know about them.

There are many unsung heroes across our country. Government should bring a website exclusively and collect a data base of real freedom fighters who dedicated their money and life for our country's freedom. Like Wikipedia all freedom fighters details should be posted in a website state wise and details about their birth place and memorial place should be listed. Youngsters should get details from these websites. Details about books on freedom fighters and a link to buy those books, PDFs of old books about our freedom fighters should be available. Real history has been hidden and fake and distorted stories should be completely removed from text books. An award in the name of those real freedom fighters should be given to those who pay income tax promptly and maintain a clean slate in their life. Youngsters should know the real freedom fighters life history and have them as their role models instead of blindly following cinema hero and heroines and wasting their time and energy.
