In a society where the Patriotism of Muslims always ends with a question mark, it is not surprising that the religious identity of a Muslim martyr becomes the primary point of remembering him. Today, and probably since 1927, Ashfaqulla Khan is not just remembered as a martyr like Ramprasad Bismil or Chandrashekhar Azad or Bhagat Singh, but as a ‘Muslim’ martyr. While those who hold secular beliefs mention his religious identity to emphasize that Muslims equally contributed to India’s Freedom struggle, the right wing mentions his religious identity to show that they are not as bigoted as they are accused of being. For the Right wing, Ashfaq is a ‘good’ Muslim who proved his nationalism by embracing gallows for Mother India. Whatever be the case, the foregrounding of his religious identity, while remembering him, is only a reflection of deep seated communal consciousness among Indian masses. What is forgotten in this narrative of ‘Muslim Martyr’, is the fact that Ashfaq was probably the first among Indian revolutionaries who called himself a socialist. He was one of the first to align himself with Socialism and envision a society not only free from Imperialism but also from all forms of exploitation faced by working class and peasants. The great October Revolution had huge impact upon Indian revolutionaries and Ashfaqulla too was impressed by it. In probably his first political letters written to his friend Banarsi Lal, Ashfaq expressed his desire to write a letter to Vladim...

Though Azad managed to dodge the police after looting the treasury, Bismil, Khan, Lahiri, and Roshan Singh were arrested and were sentenced to death. Born in 1897, Bismil was a poet-turned-revolutionary. Kakori Conspiracy is still considered one of the most brazen acts of defiance against an unjust and harsh British rule here. It was mentioned to be a message to the British that they cannot get away with taking money from Indians for their own personal use. Ashfaq Ulla Khan was born in Shahjahanpur and he was close friend of Bismil. Just like Bismil, Khan was also a poet. During the hearing in court, Ram ...
