The most influential freedom fighter - Saheed Bhagat Singh.

Saheed Bhagat Singh is the most influential youth during the Independence movement of India, against the British rule. He born on 28 September 1907 Village Khatkar Kalan Lyallpur, Punjab, British India. From teenage he came out as revolutionary, to fight against the British rule he began to study the revolutionary movements of the Europe continent. Then later in years he became a member of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association.

Lahore on 30 October 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai led the protest against Simon Commission in a silent non-violent march, but the police responded with violence.Lala Lajpat Rai was beaten with lathis at the chest, and Bhagat Singh was eye witness at the spot. So he decided to take revenge by killing J.A. Scott. Then in a dramatic accident happen when Jai Gopal mistook J.P. Saunders as J.A. Scott and signaled to Bhagat Singh. So Saunders shot by Rajguru and Bhagat Singh.

After so much thinking he decided to give his life to influence the next generation for British free India. So On 8 April 1929, Singh and Dutt threw a bomb onto the corridors of the assembly and shouted "Inquilab Zindabad!" ("Long Live the Revolution!"). This was followed by a shower of leaflets stating that it takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear.

The bomb neither killed nor injured anyone; Singh and Dutt claimed that this was deliberate on their part, a claim substantiated both by British forensics investigators who found that the bomb was not powerful enough to cause injury, and by the fact that the bomb was thrown away from people. Singh and Dutt gave themselves up for arrest after the bomb. He and Dutt were sentenced to 'Transportation for Life' for the bombing on 12 June 1929.

In jail he wrote that"As regard the origin of God, my thought is that man created God in his imagination when he realized his weaknesses, limitations and shortcomings. In this way he got the courage to face all the trying circumstances and to meet all dangers that might occur in his life and also to restrain his outbursts in prosperity and affluence. God, with his whimsical laws and parental generosity was painted with variegated colours of imagination. He was used as a deterrent factor when his fury and his laws were repeatedly propagated so that man might not become a danger to society. He was the cry of the distressed soul for he was believed to stand as father and mother, sister and brother, brother and friend when in time of distress a man was left alone and helpless. He was Almighty and could do anything. The idea of God is helpful to a man in distress."

On 14th February 1931, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev were hanged till death by british government but they still alive in our thinking in our work and in our hearts.

His most influential word is "Inquilab Zindabad."
