Some lines on contribution of Bhai Balmukund in the revolution of india

Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi has also been a name in the list of great revolutionaries. Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi was a journalist who, with the power of his writing, had made the British rule sleep in India. His writings inspired the people of the country to fight against the British government. He was a social worker and freedom fighter. He was very simple in nature, but also angry and stubborn. He was a fearless and impartial journalist. His contribution to the history of India's freedom movement is immortal. He was involved in the work of journalism and editing from his college days and after meeting Gandhiji became completely devoted to the freedom movement.

He started his Hindi weekly in the name of Pratap. Pratap was an advocacy letter of farmers and laborers. There used to be special news on the sufferings of the people of the native states. He brought out a daily edition of Pratap and a literary and political monthly magazine named Prabha from his press. Chit Patri Stambh was Pratap's personal specialty. He took a leading role in the Home Owl Movement and led the first strike of the textile mill workers in Kanpur. He went to jail 5 times for participating in various Congress movements and writing articles in Pratap fearlessly against the atrocities of the officers, because when his pen was used, the roots of the British rule were shaken. Not only were the students themselves great journalists, they inspired and trained many young people to become journalists, writers and poets.

During his prison life he translated two novels by Victor Hugo, La Miserables and Ninety Three. He was elected the chairman of the 19th (Gorakhpur) session of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. Vidyarthi ji was a great reformer but at the same time pious and godly. The speakers were also very impressive and of a high standard. Such was the power of the pen that even without saying anything, by just writing, he could reach more and more people with ideas for the benefit of his country and in the absence of modern technology, he could influence the people and connect with the movement.
