Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid homage to noted freedom fighter Shyamji Krishna Varma on his death anniversary, remembering his contribution to India’s independence movement.

In a message shared on social media, Modi described Varma as a “brave son of Mother India” whose revolutionary ideas sparked a new wave of consciousness during the freedom struggle. He said Varma’s life and ideals continue to motivate generations to serve the nation with dedication.

Highlighting his legacy, the prime minister noted that Varma’s life stands as a powerful example of courage, determination, and commitment to national duty.

Born on October 4, 1857, in Mandvi in Gujarat’s Kutch district, Varma was a prominent figure in India’s struggle for independence. He is best remembered for establishing the revolutionary hub “India House” in London, which became a centre for nationalist activities and a meeting point for Indian revolutionaries abroad.

Varma also used his writings to advocate for India’s freedom, notably through his journal The Indian Sociologist, which played a key role in spreading nationalist ideas during the colonial period.
