Many brave sons have given their martyrdom in the freedom of the country, one of them includes the immortal martyr Major Durgamalla. Who gave his martyrdom for the country by blowing the trumpet of the struggle against British rule. Who fought against the British forces in World War II. Major Durga Malla Indian Gorkhas were the first Gurkha soldiers of the Indian National Army (INA) to sacrifice their lives for the Indian independence movement.

Major Durga Malla was born on 1 July 1913 in Doiwala village near Dehradun to Gangaram Malla Chhetri, a Naib Subedar in the Gorkha Rifles. He was the eldest son of Naib Ganga Malla. Since childhood, he had a passion for patriotism. He wanted to free India from the shackles of British rule from a young age. Malla was then a student of class nine. He attracted everyone's attention with his public outcry against the British. At that time the flame of freedom revolution was burning in the country. With the slogan of Quit India, there were mass movements everywhere. He did his early education at Gorkha Military Middle School, now known as Gorkha Military Inter College.

In 1931, Durga Malla joined the 2/1 Battalion of the Gorkha Rifles. On 1 December 1941, the Japanese declared war by attacking Allied forces stationed in the Southeast Asian region. In 1941 (before going abroad for war), Malla was married to Sharda Malla in Shyam Nagar, Himachal Pradesh 1941. Three days after the wedding, Malla was called back to his headquarters and instructed to go abroad.

Azad Hind Fauj was formed in Singapore on 1st September 1942, he joined the Azad Hind Fauj of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose with the aim of giving independence to the country. In which Durga Malla had a very commendable role. He made a big contribution in involving the youth in the Azad Hind Fauj. He was entrusted with the main task of intelligence in the Azad Hind Fauj. Meanwhile, crossing the Bharat Varma border and entering Assam for intelligence work, the British army took him captive on 27 March 1944. He was severely tortured after being taken prisoner of war and on trial. He was then sentenced to death by a British military court. On 25 August 1944, Major Durga Malla was hanged in the District Jail Delhi.

Major Durga Malla's wife was brought to the jail cell but Malla did not succumb to the pressure. Malla told his wife, "The sacrifice I am offering will not go in vain. India will be free. I believe. It is only time." That's it, Sharda! Don't worry, crores of Indians are with you." These were his last words to his wife.

August 25, the day of his execution, is celebrated as Baldan Divas or Martyrs' Day by Gorkhas all over India. A memorial has also been built in his memory in Doiwala Municipality.


Many salutes to such brave warriors who died for the freedom of the country. The Amrit Festival of Independence gives us this opportunity to know our history even more closely keeping in mind our future because when you read about the freedom struggle and try to know it closely, you will know how India has given birth to heroes and they had so much self-confidence and so much love for the country that they were ready to sacrifice their lives. This is also the reason why many people fought for freedom. They were martyred while fighting the war, and while leaving, they all raised the slogan of independence and saw the dream of an independent India, and this is also the reason that India got the result of its struggle and India became independent from British rule on 15 August 1947.
Salute to such a brave freedom fighter who was martyred for the freedom of the country.

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 4

Image
  If a boy wearing roller skates stands facing a wall and pushes the wall with his hands, the boy finds himself moving backward, away from the wall. It appears as if the wall also pushes the boy away. When the boy exerts a force on the wall by pushing it with his hands, then the wall exerts an equal force on the boy in the opposite direction . Since the boy is wearing roller skates, the opposite force exerted by the wall makes him backward, the boy on roller skates is exerting force on the wall towards the left side. The wall exerts an equal force on the boy towards the right side. Due to this, the boy moves in the backward direction. From this discussion, we conclude that when a boy exerts a force on the wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the boy . This is just an illustration of Newton’s third law of motion. Whenever one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the second body. The force exerted by the first bo

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 3

                                         In order to understand Newton’s second law of motion, we should first know the meaning of the term momentum of a moving body (or moving object). We know that a cricket ball is much heavier than a tennis ball. Suppose we throw a cricket ball and a tennis ball, both with the same speed or velocity. It will be found that more force is required to stop the cricket ball (Which has more mass) and less force is required to stop the tennis ball (which has less mass). We conclude that the force required to stop a moving body is directly proportional to its mass. If we throw two cricket balls of the same mass at different speeds or velocities, it will be found that more force is required to stop that cricket ball which is moving with higher velocity and less force is required to stop that cricket ball which is moving with higher velocity and less force is required to stop the cricket ball moving with lower velocity. So conclude that the force required to
