IN MEMORY OF MARTYRS TO THE CAUSE
OF INDIA'S FREEDOM DYING IN DIFFERENT JAILS
1883-1943

"You can kill individuals, but not the ideas,
Great Empires crumbled, but the lofty ideas,
That led to their downfall, still survive.
The Bourbons and the Czars fell,
While revolutionaries marched triumphantly ahead."

*From a pamphlet of 'Hindustan Socialist Republican Army'.
