“The love for the country will not go away from the heart even after death. The fragrance of the country will also come from my soil. ~ Martyr Bhagat Singh.”
“Respectful tribute to the great freedom fighter, Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh ji, who sacrificed everything for the Independence of the country, on his birth anniversary,” the post added.
“Bhagat Singh wrote consistently against hate and divisive ideology and expressed concern against inequality in society. His patriotism was centred on equality and unity, which will remain a source of inspiration for every Indian,” the post read.
Born on September 28, 1907, in a Punjabi Sikh family in the village of Banga, in Lyallpur district of Punjab, then part of British India and now Pakistan, Singh was a major figure in the country’s Independence movement of the early 20th century.
He was active in the revolutionary struggle from an early age, and was briefly affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement.
Under the leadership of Singh, the Kirti Kissan Party was renamed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, which rose to new prominence in the Indian Independence movement and became a focus of public criticism.
Singh’s slogan of ‘Inquilab Zindadad’ still echoes in the minds of people. His political thoughts evolved from Gandhian nationalism to revolutionary Marxism.
On March 23, 1931, the freedom fighter was hanged to death in the Lahore conspiracy case.
He continues to inspire thousands of people. (ANI)
