Bhagath Singh Indian Freedom Fighter

BHAGAT SINGH:
Date of birth: 27th September, 1907   date of death: 23rd March, 1931
Bhagat Singh was an Indian revolutionary, considered to be the most famous martyrs of the Indian Freedom struggle. He was born in a Sikh family to Sardar Kishan Singh and Vidhyavati in the Khatkar Kalnlage near Banga in the Jalandhar district of Punjab. His uncle Sardar Ajith Singh as well as his father was great freedom fighters, so Bhagat Singh grew up in atmosphere. Ajith Singh established the Indian Patriotic Association along with Syed Haider Raza, to organise the peasants against the Chenab Canal Colony Bill. He also established the secret organisation, Bharat Mata Society.
The Ghadar Movement left a deep imprint on his mind. Kartar Singh Sarabha hanged at the age of 19, became his hero. The massacre at Jallianwallah Bagh on April 13, 1919 drove him to go to Amritsar, where he kissed the earth sanctified by the martyr’s blood and brought back to home a little of the soaked soil. He studied in the D.A.V School at Lahore and in search of revolutionary groups and ideas, he met Sukhdev and Rajguru. Bhagat Singh with the help of Chandrasekhar Azad formed the Hindusthan Socialist Republican Army (HRSA). During the Simon Go Back movement, Lala Lajpat Rai was wounded and died later. To avenge his death, Bhagat Singh and Rajguru killed Mr.Sunders.
When the British Government promulgated the two bills ‘The Trade Union Dispute Bill’ and ‘Public Safety Bill’ which Bhagat Singh and his party thought that black laws aimed to curbing the citizen’s civil liberties, they decided to oppose these bills by throwing a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly. However, things changed and the Government arrested Bhagat Singh and his friends on 8th April, 1929. On 23rd March, 1931, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged to death.
