Biography of Shaheed Bhagat Singh

Shaheed Bhagat Singh

The amazing heroic deeds of Shaheed Bhagat Singh greatly inspired the Indian youth to fight for India's freedom. Even today he remains a source of inspiration for the youth of modern India. To commemorate the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, the Reserve Bank issued a new coin of five rupees, in which the name and picture of Bhagat Singh was displayed along with Hindi and English words.

Shaheed Bhagat Singh is often referred to as an 'icon of youth' or a 'revolutionary of youth' but his greatness is equal to that of some of the prominent names involved in the Indian freedom struggle. His patriotism was not limited to fierce outbursts of anti-violence against the British, but he also had an extraordinary talent of thought and intelligence, which enabled him to foresee the partition of India on communal lines, even before many prominent leaders of that time. Were unable to guess this. Keeping in mind the interests of the country rather than religion, mature and rational thoughts displayed one of his main qualities. His educational qualifications reflect the fact that he was not only the father of frenzied mass movements, but also expressed his opinions and ideas in a well-thought-out manner.

Personal life of Bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh, considered one of India's most prominent revolutionaries, was born on 28 September 1907 in a Sikh family in Banga village of Lyallpur district (which is currently in Pakistan). Bhagat Singh was the third son of father Sardar Kishan Singh and Mother Vidyavati.

Influence on Bhagat Singh

He started getting attracted towards socialism. Considered one of the early Marxists of India, Bhagat Singh was one of the leaders and founders of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA). Bhagat Singh was deeply saddened by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. Although he had also participated in the non-cooperation movement, but when Gandhiji stopped this movement after the Chauri-Chaura incident, Bhagat Singh was very disappointed by his decision. When he was studying at the National College, Lahore, he met Bhagwati Charan, Sukhdev and other revolutionaries. He ran away from home to avoid marriage and became a member of Naujawan Bharat Sabha.

Works of Bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh was against personal rules of terrorism. He took a resolution to gather the people. In 1928 he met Chandrashekhar Azad, a famous revolutionary. Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad, both revolutionaries, organized the organization to form 'Hindustan Samajwadi Prajatantra Sangh' and during the visit of Simon Commission to India in February 1928, they protested against the visit of Simon Commission in Lahore. Lala Lajpat Rai was also among these protesters, who was injured in the lathi charge by the police and later died due to these injuries. Bhagat Singh decided to avenge Lajpat Rai's death by killing Sub Inspector General Scott, the British officer responsible for his murder. But he mistakenly shot Assistant Superintendent Saunders thinking he was Scott.

Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly on 8 April 1929 and after that he himself was arrested. The court sentenced Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru to death due to their rebellious activities. He was hanged on 23 March 1931. Bhagat Singh is still seen as a role model by a large number of youths in India. His spirit of sacrifice, patriotism and courage is something that will be looked up to in future generations.
