Underlying Concept & Subject Background

Master the topic deeply rather than simply memorizing the answer

After the British crackdown on the 1942 Quit India Movement, Jayaprakash Narayan, along with Ramnandan Mishra, Yogendra Shukla, Suraj Narayan Singh, Shaligram Singh, and Gulab Chand Gupta, scaled the high perimeter walls of Hazaribagh Central Jail on Diwali night (9 November 1942). They fled to the dense Terai jungles of Nepal and established 'Azad Dasta'. The organisation trained young patriots in arms handling, wireless communications, and sabotaging British transport, railway tracks, and telegraph lines.
