The Inspiration Soul
LATE. SHRI BABU BANARSI DAS JI (1912-1985)
"Man doth not yield himself to the angels, Not even unto death, utterly, save by the weakness of his feeble will"
SHRI BABU BANARSI DAS JI
(Ex. CM of Uttar Pradesh)
As a dynamic and gallant Youngman, hailing from Bulandshahar, BabuBanarasi Das ji joined the struggle for freedom of our country and was jailed several times by British Government for his participation in the non-violence movement of Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
During his long political career, he worked as Minister, Speaker, Member of Parliament (Both LokSabha and RajyaSabha) and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. He was a brilliant organizer, interpreter and orator.
All those who came in contact with him were inspired by his ideals of simple life style, command on languages and a practical approach to problems. Many a battle had been fought during his lifetime and many a battle won.
He did not know how to surrender and even when he was face to face with death, he never gave up.
We are proud of the great soul, who had inspired us in the past and shaped our present and continues to illuminate our future.
To commemorate the memory of Babu Banarsi Das Ji, Govt of India released a postal stamp on 31st Dec. 2013.
