Arjun Singh Bhadauria/Bhadoria was an Indian freedom fighter, progressive leader and politician. He led an underground resistance movement against British colonialism in central India in the 1940s. Arjun Singh Bhadauria was imprisoned multiple times for his political activism, both, before and after India's independence. Known popularly by his sobriquet, "Commander Sahab" or "The Honorable Commander", due to his leading role in the freedom struggle, Arjun Singh Bhadauria advanced farmers' and peasants' rights all through his political career. He was elected to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament from Etawah, Uttar Pradesh where he served three terms. In the mid-1970s, Arjun Singh Bhadauria, along with his wife Sarla Bhadauria, partnered with Jayprakash Narayan and other leaders in the anti-corruption and pro-democracy movement aimed against the then Congress government of Indira Gandhi, for which he spent 19 months in prison during the period of "Emergency" (1975-77). Arjun Singh Bhadauria died in 2004. [1][2][3]
