Yogendra Shukla

Yogendra Shukla (1896-1966) was an Indian nationalist born in a Bhumihar Brahmin family in Bihar. He served in the Cellular Jail ("Kalapani"), and he was among the founders of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA).

Yogendra Shukla and his nephew Baikuntha Shukla (1907-1934) hailed from Jalalpur village in Muzaffarpur (now Vaishali), district of Bihar. From 1930 to 1942, Yogendra served prison sentence in Kalapani, as one of the leaders of the revolutionary movement in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He became famous for his many exploits. He was a senior associate of Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Datta and had even trained them. He had to serve prison terms for a total of more than sixteen and a half years for his revolutionary activities. During imprisonment in different jails of India, he was subjected to extreme torture, which corroded his iron constitution.
