SOMPRAKASH SHAIDA
(Freedom Fighter)

 

 A distinguished firebrand of the student community, Somprakash was born on 19th June 1919 in a Brahmin family of Attock. He had his early schooling at the Sanatam Dharam High School, Rawalpindi and his higher education at the D.A.V. College, Lahore. Politics was in his very blood and in later thirties he rose to be a powerful student leader in the Punjab with dedication to the national cause of India’s freedom. In 1941 he was elected Student Secretary of the Punjab Congress Socialist Party. All his happened while he was still at college and had not secured his Master’s degree in Economics, which he did in 1942.

               Somprakash had a fine record of suffering and sacrifice to his credit. Even during his career as a student, he suffered imprisonment for one year. In all, he has been in jail for an aggregate of about 5 years.

               An excellent speaker and a good worker, he was Editor of Bande Matram and Naya Punjab for a considerable length of time.
