Hi frnds,

All of us know about world cup final date, b'day of sachin tendulkar, shahrukh khan

But very few of us know that today is Martyrdom Day of three great freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev

by whose effort of "Poorna Swaraj" we are living in independent India. I would like to share some of the life incidents of Bhagat Singh.

23 March 1931 - martyrdom Day of one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement - Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh.

Sardar Bhagat Singh was an Indian freedom fighter born on September 28, 1907.He was born into a Sandhu Jat family to Sardar Kishan Singh Sandhu and Vidyavati in the Khatkar Kalan village near Banga in the Lyallpur district of Punjab. Singh's given name of Bhagat means "devotee" & Singh means "Lion".

He came from a patriotic Sikh family, some of whom had participated in movements supporting the independence of India and others who had served in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army. He is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

"Shaheedo ki chitao pe lagege her baras mele, watan pe mer mitne walo kaa yahi baki nisha hoga."

• Childhood

One day, Bhagat was planting dried sticks in the soil as an old lady passed by. The old lady asked him, “Bhagat what is this?”. He replied, “I am planting guns so that I could make the British run away.” He completed his primary education in his village’s primary school. He was a bright student and actively participated in any type of competitions. He used to attend all the functions and lectures related to India’s freedom and politics with his father. Because of his fathers revolutionary links, many famous revolutionaries also used to come to their house. As a child, he was deeply affected by the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre that took place in Punjab in 1919. About 2000 innocent people were killed on the Visakhi/Baisakhi Day(Punjab State festival of harvest) in Amritsar on 13th April 1919.

• Initial participation in freedom fight

When Mahatma Gandhi started the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1920, he became an active participant at the age of 13. He had great hopes that Gandhi would bring freedom in India. But he was disappointed when Gandhi called off this movement following the Chauri Chaura riot in 1922. But he still continued to obey Gandhi’s teachings and lessons. At this point he had openly disobeyed the British and had followed Gandhi's wishes by burning his government-school books and any British-imported clothing. He even started writing poetry and participated in many literature competitions. At this point, he was only known for his poetry. His mentor as a young boy was Kartar Singh Sarabha.

• bomb dropped @ assembly

On April 8, 1929, Singh and Dutt threw bombs onto the corridors of the assembly and shouted "Inquilab Zindabad!" ("Long Live the Revolution!"). This was followed by a shower of leaflets saying that it takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear. The bomb neither killed nor injured anyone, Singh and Dutt said that they did not want to kill or injure anyone.

• Conspiracy related to his execution

There are many conspiracies related to Bhagat Singh’s execution. After that he was ordered death punishment, many people reached Mahatma Gandhi to save Bhagat, but it is believed Gandhi did not stop this execution because Jawaharlal Nehru said that Bhagat is getting popularity and so this might slow down the Non violent methods of achieving freedom. After Gandhi was unsuccessful, many people broke ties with him to protest in favor of Bhagat. It is also known that Bhagat was not hanged but shot by the Saunders Family.

In his early years, his was a big fan of Gandhi but failed to accept his ideas. He said-

“Freedom is ours as it is our birthright, we must not beg for it, we must snatch it.”

Big Salute to the Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and all the freedom fighters by whoms sacrifice & effort we are living in Independent INDIA.Don't forget our real hero Shaheed Bhagat singh........ Huge tribute to the real heroes of our nation

Jai Hind.
