Bhagat Singh was the famous 23 year old Indian Revolutionary who was hanged by the Britishers for Saunder’s murder, threwing bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 27 1907 in Lyallpur, Punjab, Pakistan.
Bhagat Singh was a member of Hindustan Republican Army, later renamed as Hindustan Social Republic Association (HSRA).
While protesting the Simon Commission report, SP Scott led a lathi charge on in which Lala Lajpat Rai died. To take revenge of his death, Bhagat Singh shot dead Saunders mistakenly, instead of Scott
In April 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb in the Central Legislative Council and Trade Disputes Bill.
After this, they voluntarily surrendered themselves to the British officers so that entire nation could hear their message.
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were tried in Lahore conspiracy case for Saunder’s murder and later hanged by the British.
Although European historians believed that Bhagat Singh was a terrorist and a threat to humanity, Indian Historians have an opposite view. He was 100% a freedom fighter.
Though he threw a bomb in the Legislative Council but the bomb was deliberately made harmless.
Moreover he surrendered himself to the police just to show his love for his nation. Hence, we can not call him a terrorist. He was a revolutionary hero of India’s freedom struggle.
