On September 28, 1907, Bhagat Singh was born in Banga, Punjab (now Pakistan). The tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 deeply affected him, as well as the non-cooperation movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. Witnessing the brutality of British rule, Shaheed Bhagat Singh turned to revolutionary methods to fight for India's independence.
His zeal for freedom led him to join the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) and adopt radical tactics. Bhagat Singh and his comrades were executed by the British on March 23, 1931, for their role in the Lahore Conspiracy Case. Despite being martyred at a young age, his courage and sacrifice continue to inspire generations.
Some of Bhagat Singh's most notable acts include the revenge mission for Lala Lajpat Rai's death, the assembly bombing in 1929, and his prolonged prison hunger strike, where he fasted for 116 days to protest against unequal treatment of prisoners. His fearless activism ignited a spirit of freedom among the Indian youth, reminding every Indian of the values of freedom and nation-building.
