Hemandas Kalani[1] (Sindhi: هيمو ڪالاڻي, 23 March 1923 – 21 January 1943) was a revolutionary during the Indian Independence Movement. He was a leader of Swaraj Sena,[2] a student organisation which was affiliated with All India Students Federation (AISF). He was one of the youngest revolutionaries to be martyred for the nation's freedom struggle, being executed by the British colonial authorities when he was only 19, two months before his 20th birthday.[3]
