Quote of the day by Bhagat Singh: ‘Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable…'

Quote of the day by Bhagat Singh is about liberty, resistance and the right to challenge oppression, urging people to see freedom as something owed rather than granted. Here's why his words still resonate long after they were spoken.

Quote of the day by Bhagat Singh: ‘Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable…'

Bhagat Singh, a prominent figure in India's struggle for independence, once stated that "Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birthright of all." These powerful words were spoken by the young leader, who was martyred at the age of 23, and reflect his belief that liberty is a fundamental entitlement, not a privilege granted by rulers.

During his trial, Singh articulated this philosophy as both a revolutionary urge to hold systems accountable for denying freedom and a declaration that all individuals possess inherent freedoms. His words resonate today, reminding us that fundamental rights should endure even under oppressive regimes, and that questioning those who suppress dissent is essential for protecting those rights.
