The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has paid tributes to Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev on the day of their martyrdom. “The martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev was a watershed moment in our history. Every Indian is proud that these three great men belong to our land. At the peak of their youth they sacrificed their lives so that others can live a life of freedom and dignity”, the Prime Minister said.
A favourite among the youth, he continues to inspire generations till today. Although, known primarily as a revolutionary leader, this dynamic youth icon had many facets which made him unique. but Bhagat Singh was also a prolific writer and contributed to many newspapers of the time. He wrote around four books while in prison alone, although besides his diary, nothing else survives.
We all know Bhagat Singh – the revolutionary, but these facts about him makes us know him at a deeper level and helps us understand the ideas behind that young mind that gave him the kind of courage which remains unparalleled in this country. Executed hours before the scheduled time, even death could not defeat his courage. Unfortunately, Singh died at an extremely young age. However, he will always remain alive in our hearts.
