The Makers of India: Bhagat Singh
Event Information
They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.
The Makers of India is an initiative by Sarmang Adventure Tours to remember the roles of the persons who contributed in making India a great nation. We are coming up with a series of virtual walk, run and ride on their birth anniversary and other important days.
We are coming up with virtual event to celebrate birth anniversary of Bhagat Singh on 27 September.
Bhagat quit school at thirteen to devote his life to Indian Independence and died at a very young age of 23. Popularly he is known as Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh. Singh popularised the slogan 'Inquilab Zindabad' which became the slogan of India's armed struggle.
Bhagat Singh was so much disturbed by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that he bunked the school to visit the site of the bloodbath. In college, he was a great actor and played several roles in plays like ‘Rana Pratap’ and ‘Bharat-Durdasha’.
Bhagat Singh in his childhood always spoke about guns. He wanted to grow guns in the fields using which he can fight with the British. When he was 8 years old, instead of talking about toys or games he always speaks about driving out British from India.
When Bhagat Singh's parents wanted him to marry, he ran away to Kanpur. He told his parents that "if I will marry in colonial India, where British Raj is there, then my bride will be my death. Therefore, there is no rest or worldly desire that can lure me now’. Then, after this, he joined the "Hindustan Socialist Republican Association".
Bhagat Singh had told the British that "instead of hanging they should shoot him" but the British did not consider it. He mentioned this in his last letter. Bhagat Singh wrote in this letter, "Since I was arrested during the war. Therefore, I cannot be punished for hanging. Let me be thrown into the mouth of a cannon. "This shows his braveness and the feeling for the nation.
Along with the associates, Bhagat Singh threw bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly. They don’t want to injure anyone. The bombs were made of low-grade explosives.
He went on a hunger strike during his stay in jail. It is surprising that during this time he used to do all his work regularly, such as singing, reading writing books, visiting court every day, etc.
Bhagat Singh coined a powerful slogan ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ which became the slogan of India’s armed struggle.
He was hanged ahead of the official time on March 23, 1931. It is said that Bhagat Singh was smiling when he was hanged. In fact, this was done with a fearlessness to "lowered British imperialism".
When his mother had come to visit him in jail, Bhagat Singh was laughing loudly. Seeing this, the jail officials were shocked to see how this person is who is laughing openly despite being so close to death.
His legacy will continue to live in the hearts of many. These unknown facts will surely pave deep respect and also gives an idea about his life and its revolution.
