The youngest patriot of 12 years of age Baji Rout fondly called as Bajia sacrificed his life for the cause of his motherland. Sahid Baji Rout was born in October 5th 1926 at Nilakanthapur village in Dhenkanal District in a poor Khandayat family. Our Indian history is filled with such stories that really need to come out. We MUST know how our freedom fighters have fought for India and that includes a 12 year old kid who sacrificed his life to defend his motherland. This is a story of true patriotism, something that all Indians should remember and also pass on.
