The Finish Line Srinivas Manthena

Several great leaders fought for Indian Independence from the British. While many enjoyed the freedom after Independence, a few made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their life during the freedom struggle. They did not get a chance to see India become a free nation again. It is our duty to remember these leaders and we are forever grateful to them. Sardar Dandu Narayana Raju is one such leader who participated in the freedom struggle marathon, but did not live until August 15, 1947 and "cross the finish line" when India was granted independence. I salute his dedication, passion, and love for India!
