His pursuit of higher education took him to Frederick William University in Berlin, where he studied national economy and further honed his ideological convictions.
Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia’s involvement in the independence movement was notable, particularly his work with the Congress Radio during the final years of British rule in India. His commitment to socialist principles and tireless advocacy for social justice earned him widespread respect and admiration.
As India commemorates Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia’s birth anniversary, his legacy continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the enduring values of freedom, equality, and social justice that he championed throughout his life.
