'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' is an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of progressive India and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements. 75 years of independence for India is significant as it stands as a reminder of the sacrifices that many freedom fighters made to get independence from British rule. Some of the great freedom fighters who helped in India's freedom struggle include Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Subhas Chandra Bose and many more. However, many freedom fighters do not find place in the conventional freedom movement storyline. More so, those from the tribal or marginalized sections of society. The Section on Unsung Heroes is an attempt to recall and remember forgotten heroes of our freedom struggle.
