Ashfaqullah Khan
Ashfaqulla Khan was born in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. His father, Shafiqur Rahman was posted in the police department. His mother’s name was Mazharunissa. Ashfaqullah was the youngest amongst his six siblings. Ashfaq was in school when Mahatma Gandhi Called the Non-Cooperation Movement.Non-cooperation Movement
After Mahatma Gandhi withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement after the Chauri Chaura incident, many Indian youths were left dejected.[1] Ashfaq was one of them. He felt that India should become free as soon as possible and so he decided to join the revolutionaries and also win the friendship of Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, a famous revolutionary of Shahjahanpur.
Friendship with Pandit Ramprasad Bismil
Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, a member of the Arya Samaj, was eager to explain the greatness of the Hindu religion to those belonging to other religion. Initially this was a difficulty for Ashfaq who was a devout Muslim. Nevertheless, the common goal of Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaq was India’s freedom. This helped him to win over the friendship of Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil. They died on the same day, as martyrs for India, but in different jails.
Kakori train robbery
To give a fillip to their movement and buy arms and ammunition to carry out their activities, the revolutionaries organised a meeting on August 8, 1925 in Shahjahanpur. After a lot of deliberations it was decided to loot the government treasury carried in the trains. On 9 August 1925 Ashfaqulla and other revolutionaries, namely Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Rajendra Lahiri, Thakur Roshan Singh, Sachindra Bakshi, Chandrashekar Azad, Keshab Chakravarthy, Banwari Lal, Mukundi Lal, Manmathnath Gupta looted the train carrying British government money in Kakori near Lucknow.
On the morning of 26 September 1925, Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil was caught by the police and Ashfaq was the only one untraced by the police. Ashfaq went into hiding and moved to Banaras from Bihar where he worked in an engineering company for 10 months. Ashfaq wanted to move abroad to learn engineering to further help the freedom struggle and so he went to Delhi to find out ways to move out of the country. He took the help of one of his Pathan friend who in turn betrayed him by informing the police about his whereabouts.”
Ashfaqullah Khan was detained in the Faizabad jail. A case was filed against Ashfaqullah. His brother Riyasatullah was his counsel who fought the case till the very end. While in jail, Ashfaqullah recited the Quran. The case for the Kakori dacoity was concluded by awarding death sentence to Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Rajendra Lahiri and Thankur Roshan Singh. The others were given life sentences.
Popular media portrayal
The actions of Ashfaqullah Khan and his compatriots have recently been depicted in an Aamir Khan starrer hit Bollywood movie Rang De Basanti, where his character was depicted by actor Kunal Kapoor.[4]

Freedom Fighters at Shahjahanpur
Shahjahanpur made a vital contribution to the freedom movement of 1857. Nana Sahib Peshwa from Bithur, Rani Lakshmi Bai from Jhansi, Shehjade from Delhi, Ahmad Ullah Shah, from Faizabad, and Khan Badahur Khan from Bareilly united here and planned for further actions in the struggle. Unfortunately, Maulvi Ahamad Ullah Shah was killed by British forces in Powayan.
Later Pandit Ramprasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, and Thakur Roshan Singh made major contributions to the Freedom Movement of India. Under the grouping of HRA, they met and planned for the stability of the freedom movement from Shahjahanpur. Kakori is just 90 kilometers from Shahjahanpur. Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaq and Roshan Singh along with Chandrashekar Azaad, attacked the British revenue here. After Kakori Kand, Bismil and Ashfaq were the first among modern revolutionists to be hanged in Faizabad Jail in 1927. Later Bhagat Singh was also hanged by the British.
After Mahatama Gandhi withdrew his support from the non co-operation movement, Pandit Ramprasad Bismil founded the Hindustan Republic Association i.e. HRA. To implement the plan, and contributions were sought. When contributions were not adequate, robbery became the main fund-raising technique.
On 1925 August 9, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, Thakur Roshan Singh and Lahri successfully conducted a robbery of British government trasury near the Kakori railway station. On 1925 December 26, 40 persons were arrested in this case. Pandit Ramprasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, Thakur Roshan Singh, Jagdish and Banarasi were from Shahjahanpur.
