SALUTE TO NATION

The man in the picture is Shaheed Bhagat Singh

(the word shaheed means "martyr")

At the tender age of 13 Bhagat Singh started freedom struggle by joing Mahatam Gandhis Non Co-operation movement and burnt school books and foreign clothes which were made in Britain.He was hanged to death by brits in 1931 .He was of 23 years of age when he was hanged.

 

This is a man ,which every kid of India wants to be and I beleive this is the best salute to this hero on remembering him on India's 59th Independence day.

 

Complete History of Saheed is here

Jai Hind !!
