SARDAR BHAGAT SINGH............

Sardar Bhagat Singh [1907-1931] is one of the early martyrs of India during India's freedom struggle. On April 8, 1929 Bhagat Singh and another revolutionary of his time put a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi. Bhagat Singh was arrested and along with Rajguru and Sukhdev, hanged to death in Lahore Central Jail on March 23, 1931 one day before the appointed day i.e 24th March. On Bhagat Singh's martyrdom, Mahatma Gandhi said : "It has increased our power for winning freedom." Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru observed that Bhagat Singh and comrades, who showed 'magnificent courage and sacrifice', had been an inspiration to the youth of India. Bhagat Singh was a socialist and republican. He was full of sympathy for the labour. It was his conviction that India could be liberated through revolution. He was the first Indian revolutionary who shouted the slogan 'Inquilab Zindabad'. He edited two or three journals which carried the message of revolution.
