Shashi Prasad Singh[1] [2](died 29 November 1942) was an Indian independence activist from the Bhagalpur district of Bihar. He was officially recognized as a freedom fighter by the Government of India in its "Dictionary of Martyrs."[3]
Early life
[edit]Born in the village of Kusaha, now located in the Banka district, Shashi Prasad Singh was the son of a local zamindar, Thakur Prasad Singh. He was a member of the Indian National Congress and served as the General Secretary of the Bhagalpur District Congress Committee.[1]
Civil Disobedience Movement
[edit]During the Civil Disobedience Movement, Singh participated in breaking the Salt Law at Khajuri Pahad. He was also injured at the Jagdishpur Satyagraha alongside other figures, including Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Abdul Bari.[2] His involvement led to his imprisonment, first at Hazaribagh Central Jail for three months, and later at Bhagalpur Central Jail for six months.[2]
Quit India Movement and death
[edit]At the start of the Quit India Movement in 1942, Singh organized Congress units and constructive works at the grassroots level.[2] Under his direction, the Panchayati Raksha Gram Seva Dal was formed to resist British rule.[2] Singh also organized a parallel government in the Amarpur Police Station range and was involved in a police firing at the Belhar police station.[2] His participation in the Quit India Movement is also noted in History of the Freedom Movement in Bihar by K.K. Datta.[4] Shashi Prasad Singh became ill after the police firing at the Belhar police station and died on 29 November 1942.[4] He was brought to his home village by volunteers before his death.[4]
Legacy
[edit]A college, Shaheed Shashi Prasad Singh College, is named in his honor. The college is affiliated with Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University in Sambhuganj, Banka.[5] The college was inaugurated on 12 August 1982 by Jagannath Mishra, the then Chief Minister of Bihar.[2] A book by historian Diwakar Prasad Singh, American Attitude Towards the Indian Nationalist Movement (1974), includes a preface on Shashi Prasad Singh's role in the freedom struggle.[6]
