On 28 September. marking 100 years of Bhagat Singh's Birth, many political forces will claim to pay homage to h1s .

memory and shed tears for him. But how many of them are willing to allow Bhagat Singh's voice to be heard by Indians .

words. .

Bhagat Singh: Communist Revolutionary For whom "Azadi" (Freedom) was Possible .

.

.' Only Through "Kranti" (Revolution) BhagatSingh gave fresh meaning to the concept of 'azadi' and 'deshbhakti'. For Bhagat Singh, freedom was incomplete without the end of"exploitation ofman byman.d So, for Bhagat Singh, a free India was a socialist India free from feudalism .

and imperialism, and so 'azadi' was impossible without 'kranti'. In place of the old battle cry ofVande Mataram, Bhagat Singh and his comrades popularized a newslogan ofliberation-"lnquilab Zindabad" (Long Live Revolution), the slogan that ~ has since become the mostemphatic expression of the fighting determination of the Indian people in all their struggles. .

Bhagat Singh said,"~Bombsand pistols do notmake revolution. The sword ofrevolution is sharpened on the whetting-stone .

of ideas." Bhagat Singh, along with his comrade Bhagawati Charan Vohra was one of the pioneers of the communist .

movementin India. He moved away from an early phase ofanarchist terrorism, sharpening his revoll!tionary young mind on .

the whetting stone ofMarx's and Lenin's writings-right up to the hourof his death. .

Congress and BJP: Agents of Imperialism Bhagat Singh's political awakening began at a time when the British colonial rulers had perpetrated the infamous .

Jallianwalabagh massacre.Today,ourrulers-ourbhure angrez-inflict Jallianwala Baghs on ourown people-at Kalinganagar, .

Bhagat Singh? 's .

The Prime Minister declared that the British Raj was a model of good governance-isn'tthis proofof Bhagat Singhwarning that the Congress, ifitcame to power, would behave as agents of imperialism? Both Congress and BJP compete with each otherto shackle India to the US the leading imperialist force oftoday. Our rulers have mortgaged the indepen-dence to choose ourown policies and developourown resources-they have mortgaged the nation.They are also weaken-ing and fragmenting the nation from within, they are perpetuating the colonia! policy ofdivide-and-rule. ..._ .

Bhagat Singh: Staunch Opponent of Communalism .

Bhagat Singh was one of the only modern national leaders who asserted that true secularism means separation of .

.

religion from politics and state. Hemaintained that growth ofclass-consciousness was a correct way to combat communal-.

ism.Although he had great respect for Lala Lajpat Rai as a national leader, he did not hesitate to take issue with Lalaji when .

he turned to communal politics. He then launched an unrelenting ideological-~olitical campaign against Lalaji. In 1928. .

during the Naujawan Bharat Sabha (NBS) conference. hecategorically opposed the idea that youth belonging to religious, .

.

communal organizations be permitted to become the members ofNBS. Close to his death, hewrote a beautiful rationalist .

piece: ·whyI am anAtheisr. .
