Bhagat Singh – A True Revolutionary

Where do you see yourself at the age of 23? Or What have you achieved in life if you’ve already crossed 23? I guess some of us must be studying or must be doing some job, etc. But very few of us must be willing to die for our nation. It is difficult to sacrifice our lives at such a stage where our lives have just begun. But not in the case of Bhagat Singh. Bhagat Singh didn’t even think once before sacrificing his life.

He left his house for Kanpur at a very young age when his parents tried to get him married. He didn’t want to get married in slave India. After leaving the house, he joined Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. He planned to kill Superintendent of Police James Scott but instead, he killed John Saunders, Assistant Superintendent of Police, and he had to flee Lahore to escape the death penalty.

In 1929, Bhagat Singh and his associate bombed the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi to protest the implementation of Public Safety Bills. He surrendered himself to promote their cause.
After the arrest, he went on a hunger strike in prison, and on 23 March 1931, he was hung to death.

His death inspired the youth of the nation to fight for the nation’s freedom. He became more popular after his death amongst Indians. The whole country faced mixed emotions on his death and Indians were filled with courage. It is also said that his photograph was on same in every city of the country. His work hard reached every corner of the nation. He is truly a hero who still resides in the heart of every Indian.
