Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book.

I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can’t really put a book on the Internet.
Ray Bradbury, Farenheit 451
His journey as a revolutionary leader began in 1920 when he participated in Mahatma Gandhi-led Non-Cooperation Movement. This happened a year after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Azad got arrested at the age of 15 for taking part in the movement.
There is also an interesting story behind how he got his name, Azad. When he went to jail after his arrest, officials asked his name. Replying to them, he said "Azad", meaning free. It is believed that from there people started calling him Chandrashekhar Azad.
Azad decided to take the revolutionary route after suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement. He rose to the position of chief strategist in the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. He was involved in incidents like the Kakori conspiracy, bombing of assembly, killing of assistant superintendent of police, Saunders, among others.
He killed himself during an encounter with police in Allahabad’s Alfred Park on February 27, 1931, keeping his resolve that he would not be arrested alive.
