He worked very hard to win the Congress Party with an overwhelming majority in the elections of 1952, 1957 and 1962.

During his reign, the Indo-Pak war of 1965 started. Three years ago, the war of China had lost India. Shastri gave good leadership to the nation against Nehru in this unexpected war and defeated Pakistan. Pakistan never imagined it in the dream too.

After signing the agreement to end a war with President Ayub Khan in Tashkent, on 11 January 1966, he died in mysterious circumstances only.

His simplicity, patriotism, and honesty were awarded for posthumous Bharat Ratna.

Brief Biography:
Lal Bahadur Shastri was born in Munshi Sharda Prasad Shrivastav in Mughalsarai (Uttar Pradesh) in 1904. His father was a teacher in primary school, so everyone used to call him Munshiji. Later, he had worked as Clerk in the Revenue Department. [1] Lal Bahadur's mother's name was Ramdulari. Due to being the smallest in the family, the boy used to call Lal Bahadur as a ninja in family love. When the ninja was eighteen months, unfortunately, the father died. His mother Ramdulari went to Mirzapur, home of his father Hazari Lal. After some time, his grandfather did not even exist. In raising a child without the father's father, her warts Raghunath Prasad contributed greatly to her mother. While living in Nanihal, he took elementary education. After that, education took place in Harishchandra High School and Kashi Vidyapeeth. After receiving a Shastri Degree from Kashi Vidyapeeth, he always removed the caste word Shrivastav from birth and always put Shastri in front of his name. After this, the word Shastri became synonymous with Lal Bahadur's name.

In 1928, he married Lalshita, daughter of Ganesh Prasad, a resident of Mirzapur. Lalita Shastri had six sons, two daughters-Kusum and Suman and four sons-Harikrishna, Anil, Sunil and Ashok. Two of his four sons-Anil Shastri and Sunil Shastri are still, the remaining two have passed away. Anil Shastri is a senior Congress leader, while Sunil Shastri went to the Bharatiya Janata Party.

political life:
After finishing up to graduation level in the Sanskrit language, he joined the RSS and started his political career from here, taking a fast for country service. Shastriji was a true Gandhivadi who spent his entire life with simplicity and put him in service to the poor. He had active participation in all important programs and movements of the Indian Independence Movement, and as a result, he had to remain in jail many times. In the movements of freedom struggle, the non-cooperation movement of 1921, the Dandi March of 1930 and the Quit India movement of 1942 are notable.

Seeing England in the second world war, as soon as Netaji slammed the Azad Hind Fauj for "let's go to Delhi", Gandhiji thought of the shock of the occasion, "leaving India" from Bombay to Bombay on the night of 8 August 1942. And ordered the Indians to "do or die" and went to the Aga Khan Palace located in Yerawada Pune in government security. On August 9, 1942, Shastriji reached Allahabad and cleverly called the Gandhisti slogan "Die, do not die!" And unexpectedly made the swift of revolution a vicious form throughout the country. Shastriji was arrested on 19th August 1942 after running the movement while underground for eleven days.

Shastri's political directors included Purushottam Das Tandon and Jawaharlal Nehru in addition to Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant. First of all, after coming to Allahabad in 1929, he started working with Tandonji as secretary of Allahabad unit of the Bharat Sevak Sangh. While staying in Allahabad, his proximity with Nehru grew. After this, Shastriji's height continued to rise and after one successive steps to success, he reached the chief minister's post in Nehruji's cabinet. And not only that, after the demise of Nehru, India became the Prime Minister of India.

Prime Minister:
Because of his neat image, he was made the Prime Minister of the country in 1964. In his first press conference, he had said that his top priority is to stop the food prices from rising and they are also successful in doing this. Their activities were not in theoretical but in line with the practical and public needs.

If seen unbiasedly, Shastri's reign was very difficult. The capitalists wanted to dominate the country and the enemy country was about to attack us. In 1965 suddenly Pakistan launched an air raid on India at 7.30 p.m. Traditionally, the President convened an emergency meeting which included the members of the three defense organs and members of the ministry. Incidentally, the Prime Minister arrived in that meeting for a while. Discussion started on their arrival. The three chiefs explained to him the whole situation and said: "Sir, what is the order?" Shastriji immediately replied in one sentence: "Protect the country and tell me what we have to do."

Shastri gave good leadership to the nation against Nehru in this war and gave a slogan to Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan. This increased the morale of the people of India and the whole country was united. Pakistan never imagined it in the dream too.

During the Indo-Pak war on 6th September, India's 15th Infantry Military Unit met with a great deal of Pakistan's massive attack on the western edge of the willogil canal in the honor of Major World War II veteran Major General Prasad. The willogil canal was the actual border between India and Pakistan. In the attack itself, a major attack on Major General Prasad's convoy was left and he had to leave his vehicle and retreat. Indian Army earned success in crossing the canal near Barki village by transferring it with the help of the second power. This led to the Indian army reaching the airport to attack Lahore. Due to this unexpected attack, the United States appealed for a period of time to withdraw its citizens from Lahore.

After all, Shastriji was insisted on the collusion of Russia and America. He was invited to Russia under a thoughtful conspiracy which he accepted. His wife Lalita Shastri, who always accompanied her, was persuaded to seduce, and it was celebrated for Shastri that she should not go to Tashkent, the capital of Russia, and they also agreed. For this mistake, Mrs. Lalita Shastri was repented for her death. When the negotiations lasted, Shastri had the same stutter that he approved the rest of the terms but it was not acceptable to return the land which was won to Pakistan. After a lot of Jadodehad, the document of Tashkent Agreement was signed by making international pressure on Shastriji. He had signed it saying that he is definitely signing, but this land will return only to a second Prime Minister, he will not return. After a few hours of signing the ceasefire agreement with President Ayub Khan, he died on 11 January 1966 night. It has been mysterious until today that Shastriji's death was due to a heart attack. Many people believe that poison is due to their death.

Even today Shastri remembers the entire India for his simplicity, patriotism, and honesty. He was awarded posthumously Bharat Ratna in the year 1966.

Mysterious death:
He died on the same night after signing the Tashkent Agreement. The cause of death is known as heart attack. Shastri's funeral was given to the Yamuna along with Shantivan (Samadhi of Nehru Ji) in full state honor and that place was named Vijay Ghat. Unless Congress Parliamentary Party did not choose the proper successor Shastri, Indira Gandhi, are Gulzari Lal Nanda caretaker prime minister.

Various concepts about Shastri's death Most people, including their family members, do not believe that Shastri's death was not from the heart attack, but from poisoning. The first invoice was made by Raj Narain, which was said to have ended without any consequences. The interesting thing is that Indian in Parliamentri library today has no record itself is not alleged that Shastri's post mortem was not. When this question was raised in 2009, it was reported from the Indian Government that Shastri's private doctor RN Chugh and some doctors of some Russians had checked their death together, but the government did not have any record of it. Later, when asked for information from the Prime Minister's Office, he also expressed his compulsion.

A magazine 2009 opened the whole pole Outlook name potential plot in Shastri's death, when the South is the author of a book titled eye of CIA Asia Anuj Dhar say the prime minister's office to ask for information under the Right to Information That "the publication of Shastri's death document can spoil the international relations of our country, and on this mystery, Upheavals than this tumult could hurt the parliamentary privileges. It can not be an answer to this question so many reasons. "
