Ram Manohar Lohia   Freedom fighter, 1910-1967 The Provocateur Unlike with most other leaders of the freedom struggle, 1947 did not signal an emeritus status for Ram Manohar Lohia. Instead it meant continuing the fight for right. No surprise, then, that 12 of his 20 prison terms were in free India. "Satyagraha without constructive work is like a sentence without a verb."
