Some lines on contribution of Mohammad Ali Jauhar in the revolution of india

A man who studied abroad and received many degrees of higher education. If that person wanted, he could have lived a life of happiness and comfort only by living abroad, but the passion of patriotism was such that he decided to leave everything and come back to India and through his influential writings, millions of Indian people of the country. inspired for freedom. He wrote influential articles not only in Indian newspapers but also in important newspapers published abroad and put his ideas firmly in front of the people. He was none other than Mohammad Ali Jauhar. He was an Indian politician, activist, scholar, journalist and poet.

Mohammad Ali was born in the princely state of Rampur (present-day Uttar Pradesh) in British India. When he was five years old his father died. Despite the hardships faced by his father's death, he continued his studies and went to Oxford for higher education. On his return to India he served as the Director of Education of Rampur State and later joined the Baroda Civil Service. Life was going on smoothly while occupying high positions, but while living in slave India, he felt some incompleteness and dissatisfaction inside himself. He used to feel that his life can be successful only if he contributes to the freedom struggle of the country. Mohammad Ali Jauhar decided that he would make the pen his 'weapon' for freedom.

He understood very well that the newspaper is an effective medium of conveying information about the atrocities and political developments of the British in India to the people in the country and abroad. So he continued to write articles for major newspapers like Times, London, The Manchester, The Guardian and The Observer. He made a significant contribution in making people aware far and wide in the country and abroad. He started an English weekly named 'The Comrade' in Calcutta. After some time coming to Delhi, he started publishing an Urdu language daily newspaper 'Hamdard'.

Because of this, the British government arrested him and sent him to jail for four years. He also exposed the great leaders of India with his pen. Never let his words and emotions filled with revolution be silenced. He said of India that "As far as India is concerned, I am an Indian first, second and last, at every level and nothing more."
