Baji Rout (5 October 1926 – 11 October 1938) ( Odia: ସହିଦ୍ ବାଜି ରାଉତ) was an Indian boy best known for his role in the Indian independence movement.[1] Rout, who worked as a boatman, was shot by the Indian Imperial Police when he refused to ferry them across the Brahmani River on the night of 11 October 1938 at Nilakanthapur Ghat, Bhuban, Dhenkanal district.[2]
Baji Rout was the youngest son of a boatman on the Brahmani river.[3] As an active member of the Banar Sena of Prajamandal (Party of People),[4] he had volunteered to keep watch by the river at night. The police ordered him to cross the river by his boat which he denied. The police then shot and killed Baji Rout along with Laxman Malik, Fagu Sahoo, Hrushi Pradhan and Nata Malik.[5]
He was born on 5 October 1926 as the youngest son of Hari Rout and Rania Devi in the village Nilakanthapur in the then state of Dhenkanal. He lost his father in his childhood. His mother who was earning a living by grinding and husking paddy at a quern in the neighborhood was unable to spend anything on his education. He had two elder brothers who also earned very little to support the family.
