Matangini Hazra and Lakshman Naik sacrificed their lives in :

Matangini Hazra and Lakshman Naik were prominent martyrs of the Quit India Movement, which began in August 1942 [1]. Matangini Hazra, affectionately known as 'Gandhi Buri', led a procession of volunteers in Tamluk, Midnapore, to capture the local police station on September 29, 1942 [5]. Despite being shot multiple times by the British police, she continued to march forward holding the national flag until her death [5]. Similarly, Lakshman Naik (Laxman Nayak) was a tribal leader from Odisha who spearheaded the movement in the Koraput district [4]. He was arrested following a clash at the Matili police station in August 1942 and was subsequently executed by the British in March 1943. Their sacrifices highlight the widespread mass participation and the intense British suppression that characterized the 1942 uprising [3].
