Khudiram Bose was one of the youngest Indians to be hanged ..
He was just 18 years 7 months 11 days old when hanged..
A salute to his sacrifice at such a young age.. He has never got any specific attention..
At his age people still depend on their parents while this hero gave up his life just to get freedom for his motherland.. He also became inspiration to thousands of other youths.
Just imagine if you will ever have that courage at such young age??

Jackie Shroff
His mother is a native Uyghur from Kazakhstan.
He saw tons of problems at front lines and in combat related to racial segregation.
He finally declared that segregation of units was “wholly inefficient to military readiness and effectiveness and also said it was un-American and un-Christian.
Then, he ordered the all-black units dissolved and the men reassigned to other units.
Within a few months, the entire 8th Army was integrated, and this set the stage for other military units doing the same.
This was a bold move that wasn’t without controversy, and General Ridgway never got enough credit for the precedent he set.
Many of them are aware of the SUN konark temple in ODISSA that is a famous Chariot temple as well as a temple for calculating the time.
But in South there is temple called AIRAVATESHWARA temple in DARASURAM near Kumbakonam, built by the great Cholas .This temple is known for its stunning architecture and is one of the UNESCO world heritage sites in INDIA.This famous temple stands as a architectural marvel among the great CHOLA living temples in TAMIL NADU.
Yes,this temple which was built by the chola dynasty is a Chariot temple and a temple for time.Built by Raja Raja Chola in 12th century.
A wheel which can be used for calculating time.
Legend of the temple:
Here ,Lord shiva is worshipped by Airavata , the white elephant of the King of the Devars, Deva Indra.The King of Death, Yama also worshipped Lord Shiva here.
The Airavatesvara Shiva temple has a water tank. This tank has a connected channel that brings in Cauveri River water where devotees gather annually to take a dip. The mythology narrates how Airavata, or Indra's white elephant wich was cursed by Sage Durvasa(a sage whose power increases as he bestows curses)was restored with clean, white skin after he took a dip in this tank. This legend is carved in stone in the inner shrine, and this Indra's elephant gives this temple its name.
This temple is built in the shape of a chariot having wheels(these wheels act as a clock) and there are 24 spokes on these wheels denoting 24 hours in a day and using the science behind this wheels one can find the time of the day.
Yaali -A mystic animal that is portrayed in many South Indian temples
Not only that this temples has many sculptures telling about the stories of ancient times .This temple is known for the 3D sculptures which gives a different perspective for viewers.
See in this above scuplture, you can see both bull and a elephant having same head but the prespective to all.
A women having one head but three differnt body postures.
Though this temple is small than the other Chola temples,this temple has more scuptures of intricate designs.The Vijayanagara empire and the Pandyas are known for the building up of musical pillars but the cholas have designed musical steps.
I think everyone who tours Tamil Nadu should surely visit this temple .

Gladiator: Russell Crowe in the film is nicknamed " The
Hispanic ", an old French word from the 1300s. Big mistake! The film is set in 180 BC, a thousand years before the word was invented .
