On 23rd March 1931, Bhagat Singh was hanged by the British at the age of only 23.
He was the Socialist & intellectual revolutionary at that time People were considering him a fierce intellectual
He red more than 250 plus books before his arrest & 300 books during his prison.
He was the one who raised the slogan of Down with Imperialism & Long live Revolution
Earlier Congress demanding India to be dominion state but Red salute to Baghat Singh who stood against it & demanded complete freedom
Quaid e Azam, the founder of Pakistan, fought for Bhagat Singh when he couldn't attend the trial because of his hunger strike. Jinnah said in the Central Assembly meeting on Sept 12, 1929
“The man who goes on a hunger strike has a soul and he believes in the justice of his case”
“Sir, can you imagine a more horrible form of torture than a hunger strike? If, rightly or wrongly, these men are inflicting this punishment on themselves, and thereby you are.
.. unconvinced. Is that any reason why you should ask us to abandon one of the cardinal principles of criminal jurisprudence? It’s not everybody who can go starving to death”
Jinnah had asked, “If these young men pursue this course, and I am sorry to hear that one of them died,
what will happen?”
“Well, you know perfectly well that these men are determined to die? It is not a joke. I ask the hon’ble law member (minister) to realize that it is not everybody who can go on starving himself to death. Try it for a little while and you will see.
The man who goes on a hunger strike has a soul. He is moved by the soul and he believes in the justice of his cause, he is not an ordinary criminal who is guilty of a coldblooded sordid wretched crime,”
Bhagat Singh had said
We do not want freedom. We do not want the freedom where the British rulers are replaced by the local elite. Change the source.
On March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh, who had been fighting against British imperialism, was hanged in Lahore Central Jail along with his associates.
Before this Bhagat Singh fired a cracker which was called a terrorism activity by British but Quaid e Azam didn't condemn it he even appreciated him in British India assembly.
Greetings to Bhagat Singh and his colleagues
Life is lived on its own, only funerals are carried on the shoulders of others ... Bhagat Singh
Bhagat Singh was a voracious reader. During his 716 days in prison, he borrowed over 300 books to make notes from, a right that he won by hunger strike. Those included 7 Punjabi, 63 Hindi, 137 English, 28 Urdu & 17 Bengali.
