He received his early education in Bhavra. For education he went to the Sanskrit Pathshala at Varanasi. He was a great worshipper of Lord Hanuman. Once he disguised himself as a priest in a Hanuman temple to escape from the clutches of the British police.
Young Chandra Shekhar was attracted by the non-violent, non-cooperation
movement of 1920-21 under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. He joined the
movement and was arrested and produced before the magistrate. He gave his name
as 'Azad' (free), his father's name as 'Swatantra' (freedom) and his residence as
'Prison'. This provoked the magistrate who sentenced him to fifteen lashes. From then on he was known as Azad

fighter Both Chandra Shekhar and Bhagat Singh actively participated in revolutionary
activities. He was deeply disturbed by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in
1919. He also played a key role in the Kakori case. Chandra Shekhar was a terror
for the British Police. He was on their hit list and the British Police badly wanted to
capture him dead or alive. On 27th February 1931, Chandra Shekhar Azad was at
Alfred Park in Allahabad. He was betrayed by an informer to the British Police.
The police surrounded the park and ordered Chandra Shekhar Azad to surrender. Azad fought bravely and killed the policemen. Finally, finding himself sorrounded

Dushmnan ki goliyon ka hum samna karenge,
Azad hee rahe hain, Azad hee rahenge
