It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived..
This quote was written on the leaflets Bhagat Singh threw at the Central Assembly on April 8, 1929. Since then, it has been quoted several times over by revolutionaries. The legendary revolutionary died for the country when he was only 23 years old but his inspiring actions continued to stir the desire for freedom.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907, and was hanged an hour ahead of the official time on March 23, 1931.
Bhagat Singh (27 September 1907[a] – 23 March 1931) was a charismatic Indian revolutionary[6] who participated in the mistaken murder of a junior British police officer[7] in what was to be retaliation for the death of an Indian nationalist.[8] He later took part in a largely symbolic bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi and a hunger strike in jail, which—on the back of sympathetic coverage in Indian-owned newspapers—turned him into a household name in Punjab region, and after his execution at age 23 into a martyr and folk hero in Northern India.[9] Borrowing ideas from Bolshevism and anarchism, he electrified a growing militancy in India in the 1930s, and prompted urgent introspection within the Indian National Congress‘s nonviolent but eventually successful campaign for India’s independence.[15]

When Bhagat was only 14, he took part in a protest against the killing of a large number of unarmed people at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib
He gathered some of the blood-soaked mud from Jallianwala Bagh and took it to his home, and daily started worshipping it. He understood the meaning of sacrifice. Bhagat Singh kept an open mind and channelized his anger in the right direction. He found his life’s purpose through his trauma
How did Bhagat Singh fight it? By fasting for 116 days which is a record per se.
Real Change Begins from the Inside
Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary. He requested the British to not hang them because hanging them would be their insult. Rather, he requested the British to shoot them to death. Yes, he did not beg for mercy or forgiveness. He died like a revolutionary.
Dedicating his entire life, vision, and purpose to India is not a cakewalk. Forget about doing, today we cannot even think about what we can do for our nation. Today, we, especially our youth, need a role model like Bhagat Singh, not because he picked up a gun, but because he picked up a book.
Revolution is not achieved with a gun, it is achieved with a book. Revolution is achieved through our thoughts. Even though the British have left India, Indians have replaced them. Indians who are like Indians but are even worse than the British.
Some facts that we must know
- He was a great actor in college time and acted in several plays like Rana Pratap, Samrat Chandragupta and Bharat Durdasha. During the independence movement, Singh had for some time been exploiting the power of drama as a means to inspire a revolt against the British, purchasing a magic lantern to show slides that enlivened his talks about revolutionaries who had died as a result of the Kakori Conspiracy, such as Ram Prasad Bismil. In 1929, he proposed a dramatic act to the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) with the intention of gaining massive publicity for their aims
- Bhagat Singh never liked Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence. After the 1922 Chauri Chaura incident, Singh joined the Young Revolutionary Movement and began to advocate for the violent overthrow of the British Government in India
- To avoid an arranged marriage, Singh ran away to Kanpur leaving a letter behind that read “My life has been dedicated to the noblest cause, that of the freedom of the country. Therefore, there is no rest or worldly desire that can lure me now.”
- Singh was arrested on the false pretext of having been involved in a bombing when the British police became aware of Singh’s influence on youth
- Singh began to question religious ideologies after witnessing the Hindu-Muslim riots that broke out after Gandhi disbanded the Non-Cooperation Movement. He did not understand how members of these two groups, initially united in fighting against the British, could be at each other’s throats because of their religious differences. At this point, Singh dropped his religious beliefs, since he believed religion hindered the revolutionaries’ struggle for independence and began studying the works of Bakunin, Lenin, Trotsky – all atheist revolutionaries. Singh also wrote an essay titled ‘Why I am an Atheist’ in 1930 in Lahore Central Jail
Singh was a great writer. He wrote for and edited Urdu and Punjabi newspapers, published from Amritsar, as well as contributed to low-priced pamphlets published by the Naujawan Bharat Sabha that excoriated the British. In 1923, during his college time, Singh won an essay competition set by the Punjab Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, writing on the problems in Punjab. He also wrote briefly for the Veer Arjun newspaper, published in Delhi and for Kirti, the journal of the Kirti Kisan Party. From May to September 1928, Singh published a series of articles on anarchism in Kirti. He often used pseudonyms such as Balwant, Ranjit and Vidhrohi for publishing his writings
- On April 8, 1929, Singh, accompanied by Batukeshwar Dutt, threw two bombs into the Central Assembly chamber. The bombs were made from low-grade explosives and hence, were designed not to kill
- During his stay in prison, Bhagat Singh coined the word “political prisoner”. In jail, he demanded that he and his friends be given basic facilities that other prisoners in the jail were entitled to
- Singh was hanged an hour ahead of the official time on March 23, 1931.
