Ramphal Mandal (6 August 1924 – 23 August 1943) was an Indian freedom fighter from Bihar who participated in the Quit India Movement against British colonial rule. He is widely remembered in parts of Bihar for his role in the struggle for independence and his execution by the British authorities at the age of 19.[1]
Role in the independence movement
During the Quit India Movement of 1942, Ramphal Mandal took part in protests against British rule in the Sitamarhi region. According to reports, in response to an incident where British forces opened fire and killed civilians, Mandal allegedly attacked several British officials and was subsequently arrested by the colonial authorities.[3]
He was tried and sentenced to death by the British government. On 23 August 1943, at the age of 19, he was hanged in Bhagalpur Central Jail. His willingness to embrace martyrdom at a young age has been noted in contemporary political and social discussions in the state.[2]
