Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar (photo from a biopic on Chandrashekhar #Azad). He was the ONLY person Azad ever introduced to his parents. He took care of Azad's mother after his release like a son. She died with her head in his lap on March 21, 1953. He performed her last rites. 
Master Rudranarayan who helped Azad go underground in #Jhansi after #Kakori robbery on August 9, 1925. He wanted to create a memorial for Azad & his mother in #Bhabra in March 1953, after Jagrani Devi died. Nehru threatened him with jail but he defied Nehru & did it anyway!
Bhagwas Das Mahour, one of the three muskateers (Vishwanath Vaisampayan, Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar and himself). After conviction and sentence for his role in the #Bhusawal Bomb case, he married Master Rudranarayan's daughter and helped Malkapurkar take care of Azad's mother.
