'Kakori Train Case' now 'Kakori Train Action' | 11 Aug 2021

Recently, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has renamed 'Kakori Kand', an important movement in the history of India's freedom struggle, to 'Kakori Train Action'.

It is renamed because the word 'Kand' refers to the sense of humiliation of the incident during India's freedom struggle.
The Kakori Train Action was a train robbery, committed by the revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement against the British Raj on August 9, 1925, in a village called Kakori near Lucknow.
This robbery was carried out by 10 revolutionaries including Hindustan Republican Association's revolutionary Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, Rajendra Lahiri, Keshav Chakraborty, Mukundi Lal, Banwari Lal.
Significantly, freedom fighters Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan and Roshan Singh were hanged on December 19, 1927 for their involvement in the Kakori Conspiracy.
