Childhood of Bhagatsinh:

Bhagatsinh at the age of 11

                Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907 in Banga (present-day Pakistan) in Lyallpur district. His father's name was Kishan Singh and his mother's name was Vidyavati. At the time of his birth, his father Kishan Singh, uncle Kaka Ajit Singh and Swan Singh were jailed for protesting the Chenab Colonization Bill, implemented in 1906. His uncle, Sardar Ajit Singh, was a supporter of the movement and founded the Indian Patriots Association. General Chat Chat Lounge He was greatly supported by his friend Syed Haider Raza for organizing farmers against the Chenab Canal Colony Bill. He had 22 cases against Ajit Singh and he was forced to go to Iran. His family was a supporter of the Gadar party. Thus the politically aware atmosphere at home helps to stir the spirit of patriotism in the heart of young Bhagat Singh.

Bhagat Singh's education and the sentiment of patriotism and patriotism:

Bhagat Singh studied in his village school till the fifth grade, after which his father Kishan Singh enrolled him at Dayanand Anglo Vedic High School in Lahore. At a very young age, Bhagat Singh openly ignored the British by following the non-cooperation movement started by Mahatma Gandhi and complied with Gandhiji's wishes by burning government-sponsored books. He left school to enter the National College in Lahore.

                During his teenage days, two events shaped his strong patriotism - the massacre of Jalliawala Bagh in 1919 and the unarmed Akalis in 1921 at Nanak's Sahib Gurudwara. In his family Swaraj and for some time non-violent approaches were considered in the Gandhian ideology. Bhagat Singh supported the reasons behind the Indian National Congress and the Non-Cooperation Movement. But after the Chauri Chaura incident, Gandhi called for withdrawing the non-cooperation movement. Unhappy with the decision, Bhagat Singh separated from Gandhi's nonviolent action and the youth joined the revolutionary movement. Thus began his journey as the most prominent revolutionary of the violent rebellion against the British Raj.

         When he b. a. When his parents passed the exam, they planned to marry him. He vehemently rejected the suggestion and said, "If my slave is to be married in India, my bride will only die." - (No happiness will be achieved except death).

       Inspired by the European Nationalist Movement in March 1925, the young Bharat Sabha Bhagat Singh was made Secretary. Bhagat Singh joined the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), a revolutionary group which he later renamed as Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) with fellow revolutionaries Chandrasekhar Azad and Sukhdev. He returned home after being assured that his parents would not be forced to marry him in Lahore. Returning to Lahore he established contact with the members of the Kirti Kishan Party and began regularly contributing to his magazine, "Kirti". As a student, Bhagat Singh was an avid reader and read about the European nationalist movements. Inspired by the writings of Frederick Engels and Karl Marx, his political ideologies took shape and he was more interested in the socialist approach. He also wrote in newspapers like "Veer Arjun" under some nicknames so that his identity could be kept secret, the British could do nothing. And the spirit of patriotism awoke in the people.

National movement and revolutionary activities



Initially, Bhagat Singh's activities were limited to writing articles against the British government, the purpose of overthrowing the government, to print and distribute leaflets outlining the principles of violent insurrection. His influence on the youth increased and his attachment to the Akali movement was like a whisper of an eye to the British government that came to mind. Bhagat Singh was arrested in 1926 in a bombing case in Lahore. He was released on bond of Rs 60,000 after 5 months.







           On October 30, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai led the campaign of all parties and marched to Lahore Railway Station to protest against the arrival of the Simon Commission. Police used brutal lathi charge to stop the protesters' progress. Lala Lajpat Ryan suffered serious injuries and passed away on November 17, 1928. Bhagat Singh and his associates have called in James A. to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. Scott plans to assassinate the superintendent of police. James a Scott orders the lathi charge. But by mistake. P. Killed by Saunders. Bhagat Singh left Lahore to escape his arrest. He cut his beard and shaved his hair, violating the sacred principles of Sikhism.

               In response to the creation of the Defense Act of India, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association detonated a bomb in the assembly seat. Where the ordinance was to pass. On April 8, 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt bombed the assembly corridor, 'Inclab Zindabad!' And threw a leaflet outlining their intentions in the air. The bomb was not meant to kill or injure anyone and so it was thrown from a crowded place, after Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt exploded and both of them resisted arrest. And at the end of the court's dramatic proceedings and some questionable testimony, Bhagat Singh was sentenced.

              The case of Saunders and Chanan Singh was reopened on the basis of the statements of their colleagues Hans Raj Vohra and Jai Gopal and substantial evidence against them. The sentence was adjourned in the assembly bomb case until the Saunders case was decided. From now on, the case was renamed as Lahore Sadayantra Case. He was sent from the Delhi jail to the Central Mianwali Jail. There he saw discrimination between European and Indian prisoners. He considered himself, as a political prisoner, with others. He led other Indian, political prisoners, who were considered to be common criminals in hunger strikes. They demanded uniformity in food standards, clothing, cosmetics and other health needs, as well as books and daily newspapers. They argued that they should not be forced into manual labor or improper work in prison.

              The hunger strike incident garnered huge attention across the country and garnered massive public support in support of their demand. The public outcry against the British government reached its peak after the death of Jatindra Nath Das after more than 63 days of fasting. On October 5, 1929, at the request of his father and Congress leaders, Bhagat Singh finally broke his 116-day fast.

                   To expedite the slow trial process, the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, declared an emergency on May 1, 1930, and introduced an ordinance to set up a special tribunal composed of three High Court judges for the case. Justice j A special tribunal, including Coldstream, Justice Haider and Justice GC Hilton, was established on May 1, 1930 at the behest of the Viceroy, Lord Irwin. The tribunal was empowered to proceed. Without the presence of the accused and there was a one-sided trial that rarely followed the general legal rights guidelines.

                      The tribunal submitted its 68-page judgment on 7 October 1930. He revealed that anecdotal evidence has been presented confirming Saunders, the killer and Rajguru's involvement in the murder of Saunders. Bhagat Singh Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were sentenced to death in Lahore conspiracy case and hanged on March 24, 1931. In addition to the death sentence, section 144 was implemented in Lahore. Then an appeal against the death sentence was filed in the Privy Council. It was canceled on January 10, 1931. Then on February 14, 1931, then Congress Speaker Pandit Madanmohan Malviya filed an appeal using privilege. Gandhi spoke to the Viceroy on February 17, 1931, and on 8 February 1931, various arguments were presented to the people, and a sentence of amnesty was introduced, but all this was going against Bhagat Singh.

     Finally, the British government, fearful of public outcry, was hanged at 7:30 pm on the 23rd of March 1931, due to fear of public uprising or agitation. Before going to the gallows, he was reading Lenin's biography, and when asked his final wish, he said that he was reading Lenin's life and that he should be given time to finish it. Prison officials are said to have informed them that their execution time had come - they said - "Stand up! Let one revolutionist first meet another revolutionary!" Then a minute later the book bounced to the ceiling - "Okay now."

At the time of his execution, the three were singing with joy - the song is Mera Rang De basanti chola...
     

  After the execution of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, fear of agitation would have to be done in the end according to their first plan, but people will be suspicious of the smoke rising from the jail. In disgrace, he was taken out in a sack and decided that a funeral would be held on the banks of the river Ravi but Ravi Due to the lack of water in the river, it was taken to the banks of the Sutlej near Ferozepur, and an attempt was made to burn the kerosene spraying bodies. The British troops fled as soon as the people knew about the fire. People surrounded the corpses all night. The people were then handed over the dead bodies of the martyrs to their families. About three miles in mourning in Lahore there was a line of men for three miles, each man wore a black belt on his hands and every woman wore a black sari. Everyone had black flags in their hands. When it was announced that his family had come from Firozpur to take away the remnants of Veer Bhagat Singh, the angry crowd could not hold back his tears.

          The martyrdom of these martyrs led to the end of the British Empire 16 years later. And your land of India was set free from the bondage of British slavery forever.
