28 SEP.1907 - 23 MAR.1931

Shaheed Bhagat Singh's acts of bravery and his supreme sacrifice at the altar of freedom are legendary. His struggle and sacrifice inspired many and galvanized the people of India to oppose the British rule with renewed vigour. He was a fearless activist and an intellectual who similingly embraced the gallows at the young age of 23.

Shaheed Bhagat Singh represented the awakening of the revolutionary potential of the youth. He moved away from reliance on individual action and became the epitome of serious rethinking and ideological transition amongst the youth. Through the “Bharat Naujawan Sabha” he tried to nurture the reading habit and promoted open debate and discussion.

In his writings, Bhagat Singh advocated total change' and establishment of a new order not only, sans the unjust British, but bereft of socio-economic disparities, injustice and a society where human dignity was upheld by relentless struggle against ignorance and superstition.
