Bhagat Singh. He became a national hero of the Indian liberation struggle against British
rule due to his early execution.The Incident: In 1928, Lala Rajput Rai was leading a protest
but sadly, he passed away in the massacre of lathi charge ordered by the Britishers. To
avenge Lala Lajpat Rai’s passing away in a lathi charge, he, along with Sukhdev, Rajguru, and
Chandrasekhar, carried out an attack leading to the killing of a British officer. After new
runs and misses, they were arrested and execution was ordered for them. He went in
disguise and changed his complete look to hide from the British officials.

In 1929 he along with his partner, organized a bomb blast in the Assembly chamber after
Ram Prasad Bismil died while fighting for the nation. Bhagat Singh screamed “Inquilab
Zindabad” after the blast. He along with Sukhdev and Rajguru very proudly embraced the
end of their life for the sake of the motherland and left a legacy to every Indian to take the
cause of freedom forward and attain it at all cost.

Birth: Bhagat Singh was born in September 1907 in Banga (earlier was in Punjab, now in
Pakistan). His father was Kisan Singh and his mother Vidyavati Kaur. He belonged to a
family of radical freedom fighters, all the men in his family believed that they have to follow
extreme measures to snatch the freedom of the country, thus making him a hugely
patriotic person.

patriotic individual.

National College.

Trigger points in his life: On his way to school one day, he witnessed an incident in which a
British was thrashing an Indian. This incident altered his perspective. The next morning,
Bhagat went to the farm with his father, and observed him spreading seeds in the fields.
Bhagat recalled the incident he had witnessed earlier. He then started sowing weapon in
the field in the same manner as he had witnessed sowing the seeds.

In 1919 Jallianwala Bagh Massacre left an everlasting impression on Bhagat Singh who
witnessed the destruction and loss of lives after General Dayar opened fire on the people
who had gathered there. Bhagat Singh then decided to dedicate his entire life to fight for
the freedom of India. With every attack by the British, Bhagat Singh’s dedication grew
stronger. When Bhagat Singh was in college he came to know about Young Italy Movement
