Do We Care for Our Heritage?

This is the same place at Alfred park in Allahabad where freedom fighter "Chandra Sekhar Azad" was killed by the British under a tree. Though the tree was cut subsequently, the place remained sacred for all patriotic Indians since then. Another tree was planted by the relatives of Azad but that too was never allowed to be worshipped by the British. The location of tree however, is still a mystery.

Post independence, a statue of Azad was erected by Government of India at the same location to allow people to pay tribute to this brave son of the motherland but unfortunately it has become a place for irresponsible citizens to rather disrespect the Hero.
