Born on 27 or 28 September 1907 Banga, Jaranwala Tehsil, Lyallpur district, Punjab, British India (present-day Pakistan).
The great legend was so devoted towards the nation that he was among those in his village who welcomed protesters against the killing of a large number of unarmed people at Gurudwara Nankana Sahibon 20 February 1921, that too when he was just 14 years old.
He founded the Indian nationalist youth organisation Naujawan Bharat Sabha in March 1926 at age of 17.
He ran to Cawnpore (now Kanpur) in 1927 to avoid his arranged marriage and In a letter he left behind, he said:
My life has been dedicated to the noblest cause, that of the freedom of the country. Therefore, there is no rest or worldly desire that can lure me now.
In his last letter, Bhagat Singh wrote, " I have been arrested while waging a war. For me there can be no gallows. Put me into the mouth of a cannon and blow me off."
Died 23 March 1931 (aged 23) Lahore,Punjab, British India (present-day Pakistan)
On his hanging (death)
The New York Times reported: A reign of terror in the city of Cawnpore in the United Provinces and an attack on Mahatma Gandhi by a youth outside Karachi were among the answers of the Indian extremists today to the hanging of Bhagat Singh and two fellow-assassins.
His Theory
In the leaflet he threw in the Central Assembly on 9 April 1929, he stated: "It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled, while the ideas survived."
Jawaharlal Nehru wrote about the legend: "Bhagat Singh did not become popular because of his act of terrorism butbecause he seemed to vindicate, for the moment, the honour of Lala Lajpat Rai, andthrough him of the nation. He became a symbol, the act was forgotten, the symbol remained, and within a few months each town and village of the Punjab, and to a lesser extent in the rest of northern India, resounded with his name."
The Legend's Popularity was respected by many.
Subhas Chandra Bose said that: "Bhagat Singh had become the symbol of the new awakening among the youths."
Pt. Nehru siid about the hero: "He was a clean fighter who faced his enemy in the open field ... he was like a spark that became a flame in a short time and spread from one end of the country to the other dispelling the prevailing darkness everywhere"
Four years after Singh's hanging, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Sir Horace Williamson, wrote: "His photograph was onsale in every city and township and for a time rivaled in popularity even that of Mr. Gandhi himself".
The great devotional working of a 14 year old boy made him so big that the Britishers tried to sentence him death or manage killing him many times. The hero became a Youth Icon and spread the fire of freedom requirement & youths role in the movement in the whole Country.
The present youth needs to be taught about the Legend Shaheed-E-Azam Bhaghat Singh, to motivate them and to lite the fire of Nation love in their hearts.
Remembering the greatness of a person on his birth anniversary is not enough, to actually give tribute to the legend we need to make the nation of his dreams, making his dreams true is the best way to give tribute to the 23 year old Legend who gave his everything so that the next generations could survive better.
Happy Birthday Our Hero, Hope will make your dream nation soon with the efforts of all the Indians.
