Live for India; Die for India
 
As We look forward to celebrate our Independence Day...EVERY YEAR it bringing back memoirs of a 'forgotten'Freedom-fighter,
 
Haji Oosman Sait...
 
Many would not have known, that one of the richest Bangaloreans of that time (Pre-Indipendence) made abonfire of the entire merchandise (all from Britain) in South Parade (M G ROAD)...in a flash!
 
That was none other than Haji Oosman Sait, a member of the memon community and (once) owner of the cash Bazzar departmental store (opp:Bowring Institute). He had placed his entire Wealth at the disposal for the cause of freedom...to die penniless. HiS grandson,mohd.Ali Javeed (who lives in our neighborhood) chokes with emotion, the very mention of his illustrious grand-father. "my grandpa's benevolence is legendary! He always used to give and not keep anything for himself".
