Shivaram Rajguru

Shivaram Rajguru

Shivaram Hari Rajguru (Hindi/Marathi:शिवराम हरि राजगुरु) (August 24,1908 - March 23, 1931) was an Indian revolutionary from Maharashtra and belonged to the Deshastha Brahmin community. He is best known as an accomplice of Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev in the killing of a British police officer J.P. Saunders at Lahore in 1928 in order to take revenge for the death of veteran leader Lala Lajpat Rai due to excessive police beating. All three were convicted of the crime and hanged on March 23, 1931.

Rajguru was hiding in Nagpur. He met Dr. K. B. Hedgewar and was hiding in one of the RSS worker's house. But after some days he went to Pune and later was arrested there.

For more information on the events leading up to the killing, read about Lala Lajpat Rai's death.

Rajguru was born in a place named Khed near Pune. It was later renamed as Rajgurunagar in his honour.
