    Bhagat

    singh
    89 years ago, one of India's greatest
    revolutionary freedom fighters, Bhagat Singh,
    was given the death penalty by the British
    colonisers . And though he died young, only 23
    years of age, his actions inspired the youth of
    the nation to fight for the nation's freedom. His
    execution spurred many to take up the
    revolutionary path, playing an important role in
    India's freedom struggle.
     Bhagat Singh was born on 28 September, 1907. He
    was also known as Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh.
     Bhagat Singh was a Sandhu Jat born in 1907 to
    Kishan Singh and Vidyavati at Chak No. 105 GB,
    Banga village, Jaranwala Tehsil in the Lyallpur
    district of the Punjab Province of British India,
    present day Pakistan.
     His family members were Hindus and Sikhs; some
    had been active in Indian Independence
    movements, others had served in Maharaja Ranjit
    Singh's army.
     His ancestral village was Khatkar Kalan, near the
    town of Banga, India in Nawanshahr district (now
    renamed Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar) of the
    Punjab.
    Bhagat Singh left home for Kanpur when his
    parents tried to get him married, saying that if he
    married in slave India, “my bride shall only be
    death” and joined Hindustan Socialist Republican
    Association. He along with Sukhdev planned to
    avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai and plotted to
    kill the Superintendent of Police James Scott in
    Lahore.
    However, in a case of
    mistaken identity, John
    Saunders, the Assistant
    Superintendent of Police
    was shot. Although a Sikh
    by birth, he shaved his
    beard and cut his hair to
    avoid being recognized and
    arrested for the killing. He
    managed to escape from
    Lahore to Calcutta.
    A year later, he and
    Batukeshwar Dutt threw
    bombs in the Central
    Assembly Hall in Delhi, and
    shouted “Inquilab Zindabad!”
    He did not resist his arrest at
    this point. During
    interrogation, the British
    came to know about his
    involvement in the death of
    John Saunders a year earlier.
    At the time of his trial, he
    didn’t offer any defence ,
    rather used the occasion
    to propagate the idea of
    India’s freedom. His death
    sentence was pronounced
    on 7 October 1930, which
    he heard with defiant
    courage.
