#Travelogue: Museum of India's Struggle for Freedom: Inside Red Fort, Delhi

Here are some pictures from the 'Museum of India's Struggle for Freedom' which is one of the museums located inside Red Fort (Lal Quilla), Delhi










Following section of the museum shows the pictures of children and young freedom fighters who did not hesitate in giving up their life for our freedom movement.



The below paintings of the martyrs are made with "blood" being used as "ïnk" - I had never seen something like this before anywhere else:  







The museum fills our hearts with sorrow and pride for our young martyrs.
