On 11 February, we commemorate the legacy of Jamnalal Bajaj, a prominent Indian industrialist, philanthropist, and freedom fighter, marking his death anniversary. Bajaj was a key figure in India's struggle for independence, closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi, who considered him akin to a son. His contributions to India's freedom movement included significant financial support to the Congress and the Muslim League during the non-cooperation movement. Renouncing his title of Rai Bahadur, a mark of British favor, Bajaj's actions exemplified his commitment to India's independence. His establishment of the Charkha Sangh in 1927 alongside Balwant Sanwalaram Deshpande in Amarsar Jaipur was a testament to his dedication to promoting Gandhian ideals. Even today, the trust he founded continues to engage in various social service activities, carrying forward his legacy of philanthropy.
