From Bhagat Singhs last Petition to the Punjab governor: .
Let us declare that the state of war does exist and shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses and the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British Capitalist or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian.
All these things make no difference.
The war shall continue. It may assume different shapes at different times. It may become now open, now hidden, now purely agitational, now fierce life and death struggle. It shall be waged ever with new vigour, greater audacity and unflinching determination till the Socialist Republic is established and
every sort of exploitation is put an end to and the humanity is ushered into the era of genuine and permanent peace. .
.
The face of freedom .
Yet Bhagat Singh lives on in the struggles of our times and the cry of Inquilab Zindabad still resounds. Beyond the films, beyond the statues in parliament, beyond the attempts of Indias ruling class to subvert Bhagat Singhs revolutionary legacy, his memory endures. It has lived on in Kayyur and Punnapra-Vayalar, in Tebhaga and Telengana, in Naxalbari, Srikakulam, Bhojpur and Nandigram. .
Bhagat Singhs nationalism began with the students and the youth. He urged that they should go deep among the masses, to the colonies of workers and hamlets of the rural poor. For all those of us who wish to fight for an Anti-imperialist and pro-people patriotism, Bhagat Singh is the face of that freedom. For those of us who wish to raise the voice of protest against imperialist agendas, against corporate loot, against draconian laws, against caste violence, religious fundamentalism and patriarchy, Bhagat Singh provides us energy and inspiration. .
We remember also the words of Com. Chandrashekhar, who responded to a question asked to him during the JNUSU Presidential debate with the fearless reply: Yes, I have ambitions. My ambitions are to live like Bhagat Singh and die like Che Guevara! .
To speak of Bhagat Singh-Sukhdev-Rajguru, to speak of revolutionary poet Avtar Singh Paash, to speak of Chandrasekhar is to reclaim our history, to make it our own, to declare this country is ours; it does not belong to imperialist capital or its indigenous agents. It is to declare that while we are witness to the suffering of our struggling people, we shall also bear witness to their liberation! .
