This research paper presents an analysis of the multifaceted contributions of freedom fighter and social .reformer Pandit Sundarlal Sharma. His role is evaluated in the context of the national movement, political awakening in Chhattisgarh, the spread of social consciousness, and Dalit emancipation. The study highlights the historical context in which the Chhattisgarh region was grappling with social inequalities, caste divisions, and colonial exploitation. The research employs a historical-analytical methodology, including Pandit Sharma's biography and literary works as primary sources, and a comparative study of government reports, speeches, and contemporary political activities as secondary sources. Conclusively, the study reveals that Pandit Sundarlal Sharma not only accelerated social reforms but also politically awakened the public consciousness in the freedom movement. His programs, such as the eradication of untouchability, peasant movements, and the spread of education, organized rural society and paved the way for the renaissance of Chhattisgarh, providing strong support to the national movement.
