Explanation

Jatin Das died after a 63-day hunger strike in 1929 during Lord Irwin's viceroyalty (1926-1931). He was protesting the inhumane treatment of political prisoners and demanding jail reforms. His death became a powerful symbol of revolutionary sacrifice and galvanized public opinion against colonial repression.
