Q. Lajpat Rai was a fearless, bold and passionate lover of India and her people. He was a great patriot who lived and died for his country. He was a great political leader, nation-builder and bold nationalist. Being a great patriot, national sentiment was the driving force of his life. He never favoured the policy and programmes of the Early Nationalists who believed in constitutional means to achieve their objectives. To quote him, “After 20 years of peaceful agitation for bread what we have got is pebbles and stones.” He advocated continuous struggle to achieve freedom.
