Ideals and Opinions :
Bhagat Singh was attracted to anarchism and communism.
Singh initially followed Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement.
Later Singh, disgruntled with Gandhi's nonviolence action, joined the Young Revolutionary Movement and began advocating a violent movement against the British.
Bhagat Singh was one of the most prominent faces of Indian freedom struggle. He was a revolutionary ahead of his times. By Revolution he meant that the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice must change.
Famous quote of Bhagat Singh :
"The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below; and not to realise truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life."
Bhagat Singh’s view about his death :
I am confident that my death will do more to smash the British Empire than my release.
It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived.
On April 8, 1929 to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bombs in the Central Assembly Hall while the Assembly was in session, not to cause death or injury but to draw the attention of the government, that the modes of its suppression could no more be tolerated.
"If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free." Says Bhagat Singh…
The way he accepted his death :
Even on the day of his hanging he was fearless, instead cheerful. He climbed the platform. Kissing the rope, he himself put it round his neck. He died with the name of Bharat Mata on his lips. Such was the end of the the legendary champion of freedom.
Honour:
He is the symbol of heroism of the youth of India.
He was put to death but lives in the hearts of his countrymen.
Even today, the heroic spirit of Bhagat Singh is an unfailing source of inspiration to the youth of the country. His courage, spirit of adventure and patriotism are an example to one and all. Vandemataram.....
