Day to Remember - Ever loved Hero who shooked up the British Raj - The Legend The Bhagat Singh
It's beyond imagination that 114 days Bhagat Singh and his comrades continued hunger strike just to have proper food, hygiene and human treatment at Jail exactly same as British prisoners recieved. How cruel were the Britishers and worth mentioning is that how brutal were Indians working to Britishers. How couldn't any Indian felt the pain and starve for 114 days. Hunger strike started on 11June and called off by Bhagat Singh on 5th Oct. What not Britishers done to discontinue their strike but not agreeing to their conditions. No water was given, kept milk infront of them to cease their hunger strike. The cuts on body were thrown by salt, this is next level of brutality.
Freedom is not free, we should be obliged to each of our freedom fighters.
At very young age he choose to die over life for mother land when today's generation dreams for getting settled in life and earn money and fame. The level of maturity and commitment Bhagat Singh had, is the must requirement for any nation to grow, evolve and erupt. He loved motherland and reading and writing books over anything and has given many quotes that still persist for making our nation great
1. Zindgi to apne damm par hi jiyi jati hey..dusro k kandhe par tohh shirf janaje uthaye jate hey.
2. 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.— from Bhagat Singh's prison diary, p. 124
3. Lovers, Lunatics and poets are made of same stuff.
4. Study so that you are able to meet arguments of your opponents. Equip your ideology with supporting arguments. If you oppose a prevailing belief, if you criticize a great person who is considered to be an incarnation, you will find that your criticism will be answered by calling you vain and egoist. The reason for this is mental ignorance. Logic and free thinking are the twin qualities that a revolutionary must inevitably possess. To say that Mahatmas, who are great, should not be criticized because they are above criticism and for this reason, whatever they say about politics, religion, economics and ethics is correct and that whatever they say will have to be accepted, whether you believe it or not, reveals a mentality which cannot lead us to progress and is clearly regressive.
5. इस कदर वाकिफ है मेरी कलम मेरे जज़्बातों से,
अगर मैं इश्क़ लिखना भी चाहूँ तो इंक़लाब लिखा जाता है।
6. But man's duty is to try and endeavour, success depends upon chance and environments.
7. What more consolation can there be! A God-believing Hindu may expect to be reborn a king; a Muslim or a Christian might dream of the luxuries he hopes to enjoy in paradise as a reward for his sufferings and sacrifices. What hope should I entertain? I know that will be the end when the rope is tightened round my neck and the rafters move from under my feet. To use more precise religious terminology, that will be the moment of utter annihilation. My soul will come to nothing. If I take the courage to take the matter in the light of ‘Reward’, I see that a short life of struggle with no such magnificent end shall itself be my ‘Reward.’ That is all
8. I am a man and all that affects mankind concerns me.
9. Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking.
10. It is beyond the power of any man to make a revolution. Neither can it be brought about on any appointed date. It is brought about by special environments, social and economic. The function of an organised party is to utilise any such opportunity offered by these circumstances.
History tells us that the three young men showed neither remorse nor fear while they were being taken to the gallows at Lahore Central Jail, but happily embraced death, shouting ‘Inquilab Zindabad’.
