Can you imagine not eating for over two months?
Just take a moment to think about it. How long do you think a person can survive without food?
A day, maybe two, or three or four?
Now, imagine someone fasting for 63 days — 63 long, painful days without eating a single bite, enduring unimaginable pain, and slowly wasting away.

This is the story of Jatin Das, a man whose name may not be as widely recognized as Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh, but whose sacrifice for India’s freedom was equally profound, if not more so.

Why am I bringing up his story?
Today, I want to tell you about his life, his sacrifice, and why his name deserves to be remembered and honored.
