Hindustan Republican Association

The Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), founded in 1924, was a revolutionary organization in India that aimed to fight British colonial rule. Its members sought independence through direct action, including protests and revolutionary activities, rather than peaceful protest alone. The HRA emphasized the importance of a united, republican India and promoted ideas of self-rule and justice. Over time, it transformed into the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), reflecting its evolving focus on social justice and socialism. The organization played a significant role in inspiring later movements for Indian independence through its commitment to radical change.
