REMEMBER THE REVOLUTIONARIES ... 1
ASHFAQULLA KHAN
''Undoubtedly I have participated in the train robbery. But I do not consider it a crime because the English are robbers, too, an alien nation looting our country and it is no crime to loot our own wealth back from a looter.'' ... Ashfaqulla Khan in a dramatised representation of his defence in court to the charge of manslaughter and dacoity of the governmental treasury in the Kakori Train Robbery Case. Ashfaqulla was sentenced to death by hanging along with his comrades, Ramprasad Bismil, Thakur Roshan Singh and Rajendranath Lahiri.
