Notable people Bharat Bhushan Tiwari is regarded as the Mangal Pandey of a new struggle against entrenched colonial mindsets by his supporters. Just as Mangal Pandey's sacrifice marked the dawn of India's freedom movement, Tiwari's defiance is seen as the first revolutionary martyrdom against those in power who, despite independence, continue to govern with colonial attitudes. A man may be slain, but his ideals remain immortal; thus, his sacrifice is viewed as the opening chapter of a renewed movement for true liberation.https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=122211287732332633&id=ShankaracharyaJyotirmathThough his critics point out his former Islamophobic comments and demands of Hindu Rashtra and calls his activism not a struggle against systematic oppression but a localized reaction against flood relief mismanagement.
