Swaraj is one of the best television serials made on the lives of Indian revolutionaries like Chandrashekhar Azad, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Ramprasad Bismil, Ashfaque Ulla Khan, Sukhdev and the likes. Broadcasted on DD National, it was a show which cannot be forgotten by the 90s generation.
The serial had a tight script which never lost track of the main story and characters. Unlike the popular Bollywood films based on the same subject, the makers of Swaraj never used romance and melodrama to popularise it.
Who can forget these lines..
"swaraj chahiye, swaraj chahiye...
marte dum tak humein, swaraj chahiye"
Swaraj by Manju Singh was based on the subject of Indian Freedom Struggle by the revolutionaries. It acquaints us with the innumerable unknown sacrifices which Indians made to bring independence to their motherland. Not just the sacrifices, it also makes us aware of the glory and valour of our freedom fighters. It portrays how not only freedom fighters but also the common people helped us to gain freedom, which we enjoy and take for granted today.
