By Revolution he meant that the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice must change. Bhagat Singh studied the European revolutionary movement and was greatly attracted towards socialism. He realised that the overthrow of British rule should be accompanied by the socialist reconstruction of Indian society and for this political power must be seized by the workers.
Though portrayed as a terrorist by the British, Sardar Bhagat Singh was critical of the individual terrorism which was prevalent among the revolutionary youth of his time and called for mass mobilization. Bhagat Singh gave a new direction to the revolutionary movement in India. He differed from his predecessors on two counts. Firstly, he accepted the logic of atheism and publicly proclaimed it. Secondly, until then revolutionaries had no conception of post-independence society.

| Bhagat Singh Shaheed Biography |
While studying at the local D.A.V. School in Lahore, in 1916, young Bhagat
Singh came into contact with some well-known political leaders like Lala Lajpat
Rai and Ras Bihari Bose. Punjab was politically very charged in those days. In
1919, when Jalianwala Bagh massacre took place, Bhagat Singh was only 12 years
old. The massacre deeply disturbed him. On the next day of massacre Bhagat
Singh went to Jalianwala Bagh and collected soil from the spot and kept it as a
memento for the rest of his life. The massacre strengthened his resolve to
drive British out from India.
In response to Mahatma Gandhi's call for non-cooperation against British rule in 1921, Bhagat Singh left his school and actively participated in the movement. In 1922, when Mahatma Gandhi suspended Non-cooperation movement against violence at Chauri-chaura in Gorakhpur, Bhagat was greatly disappointed. His faith in non violence weakened and he came to the conclusion that armed revolution was the only practical way of winning freedom. To continue his studies, Bhagat Singh joined the National College in Lahore, founded by Lala Lajpat Rai. At this college, which was a centre of revolutionary activities, he came into contact with revolutionaries such as Bhagwati Charan, Sukhdev and others.
To avoid early marriage, Bhagat Singh ran away from home and went to Kanpur. Here, he came into contact with a revolutionary named Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, and learnt his first lessons as revolutionary. On hearing that his grandmother was ill, Bhagat Singh returned home. He continued his revolutionary activities from his village. He went to Lahore and formed a union of revolutionaries by name 'Naujavan Bharat Sabha'. He started spreading the message of revolution in Punjab. In 1928 he attended a meeting of revolutionaries in Delhi and came into contact with Chandrasekhar Azad. The two formed 'Hindustan Samajvadi Prajatantra Sangha'. Its aim was to establish a republic in India by means of an armed revolution.
In February 1928, a committee from England, called Simon Commission visited India. The purpose of its visit was to decide how much freedom and responsibility could be given to the people of India. But there was no Indian on the committee. This angered Indians and they decided to boycott Simon Commission. While protesting against Simon Commission in Lahore, Lala Lajpat Rai was brutally Lathicharged and later on succumbed to injuries. Bhagat Singh was determined to avenge Lajpat Rai's death by shooting the British official responsible for the killing, Deputy Inspector General Scott. He shot down Assistant Superintendent Saunders instead, mistaking him for Scott. Bhagat Singh had to flee from Lahore to escape death punishment.
Instead of finding the root cause of discontent of Indians, the British government took to more repressive measures. Under the Defense of India Act, it gave more power to the police to arrest persons to stop processions with suspicious movements and actions. The Act brought in the Central Legislative Assembly was defeated by one vote. Even then it was to be passed in the form of an ordinance in the "interest of the public." Bhagat Singh who was in hiding all this while, volunteered to throw a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly where the meeting to pass the ordinance was being held. It was a carefully laid out plot, not to cause death or injury but to draw the attention of the government, that the modes of its suppression could no more be tolerated. It was decided that Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt would court arrest after throwing the bomb.
On April 8, 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bombs in the Central Assembly Hall while the Assembly was in session. The bombs did not hurt anyone. After throwing the bombs, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt, deliberately courted arrest by refusing to run away from the scene. During his trial, Bhagat Singh refused to employ any defence counsel. In jail, he went on hunger strike to protest the inhuman treatment of fellow-political prisoners by jail authorities. On October 7, 1930 Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru were awarded death sentence by a special tribunal. Despite great popular pressure and numerous appeals by political leaders of India, Bhagat Singh and his associates were hanged in the early hours of March 23, 1931.

| Bhagat Singh Shaheed - The legend |
One of the most inspirational icons of
the Indian freedom struggle, Bhagat Singh was born on septiembre 28,
1907 in the Khatkar Kalan village near Banga in the Lyallpur district of
Punjab. Born into a Sikh family with a proud legacy of revolutionary activities
against the British rule, Bhagat Singh cultivated his revolutionary zeal from a
tender age.
The notorious Jalianwala Bagh Massacre in 1919 left an indelible scar on the mind of Bhagat Singh and soon he took up the membership of the youth organization Naujawan Bharat Sabha. Apart from mingling with noted revolutionaries such as Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh worked relentlessly to garner opposition against the British.
Peaceful Protests all over the Country:-
In 1928, when the Simon Commission came to India, it was met with peaceful protests all over the country. During one such protest march in Lahore on October 30, veteran leader Lala Lajpat Rai was mercilessly beaten up by police chief Scott and Lala later succumbed to the fatal injuries. Bhagat Singh, who witnessed this macabre incident, hatched a conspiracy to kill Scott but in an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, DSP J.P. Saunders fell to the revolutionaries' bullets instead of the police chief.
Bhagat Singh went into hiding to escape prosecution, but when the British government enacted the draconian Defence of India Act, Bhagat and his comrades at the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association again planned to detonate a bomb in the assembly where the ordinance was going to be passed. As per the plot, on April 8, 1929, Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt stormed inside the court and threw bombs onto the corridors of the assembly shouting "Inquilab Zindabad." Both Singh and Dutt voluntarily courted arrest and they were sentenced to ' Transportation for Life' for the incident.
But soon the British got wind of Bhagat Singh's involvement in the killing of Saunders and along with Sukhdev and Rajguru, he was charged with murder. True to his fearless soul, Bhagat Singh owned responsibility of the murder and justified the act in a fiery statement. After a farcical trial lasting five months, on March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh was hanged in Lahore with his fellow comrades Rajguru and Sukhdev.

Early
Life:-
The house where Bhagat Singh was born
to Kishan Singh and vidyavati is in present-day Pakistan known as Chak No. 105, GB,
Banga village, Jaranwala Tehsil in the Lyallpur district of
the Punjab
Province of British India. He belonged to a patriotic Sikh family,
some of whose members had participated in Indian Independence movements, and
others had served in Maharaja
Ranjit Singh's army. His ancestors hailed from the village ofKhatkar Kalan near the town of Banga in Nawanshahr district (now renamed Shaheed
Bhagat Singh Nagar) of Punjab. The family originally belonged
to a village by the name of Narli in erstwhile Lahore district and which is now part of Tarn Taran district in
India. There is an interesting account of how one of the ancestors moved to Khatkar Kalan given in the
autobiography of Singh's uncle and famous freedom fighter, Ajit Singh in his
autobiography Buried Alive. Singh's given name of "Bhagat"
means 'devotee' and he was nicknamed "Bhaganwala" ('the lucky one')
by his grandmother, since the news of the release of his uncle
Ajit Singh from Mandalay jail and that of his padre from Lahore jail both coincided with his birth. His grandfather, Arjun Singh, was
a follower of Swami
Dayananda Saraswati's Hindu reformist movement, Arya Samaj, which had a considerable
influence on the young Bhagat. His father, and uncles Ajit Singh and
Swaran Singh, were members of the Ghadar Party, led by Kartar Singh
Sarabha and Har Dayal. Ajit Singh was forced to flee to Persia due to pending court cases against him,
while Swaran Singh died at home in 1910 following his release from Borstal Jail
in Lahore.
Unlike many Sikhs of his age, Singh
did not attend the Khalsa High School in Lahore, because his grandfather did
not approve of the school officials'lealismo to the British authorities.
Instead, his grandfather, enrolled him in the Dayanand
Anglo Vedic High School, an Arya Samaji institution. Singh was
influenced by a number of incidents during his childhood which instilled in him
a deep sense of patriotism to eventually take up the struggle for India's
independence. In 1919, at the age of 12, Bhagat Singh visited the site of
the Jallianwala
Bagh massacre, where non-violent people gathered at a public meeting
were fired upon without warning, killing hundreds and wounding thousands.
Bhagat Singh participated ardently in Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement in 1920, and openly defied the British by following Gandhi's wishes of burning his government school books and any imported British clothing he could find. At the age of 14, he welcomed in his village, protestors against the Gurudwara Nankana Sahib firing of 20 February 1921 which killed a large number of unarmed protesters. Disillusioned with Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence, after Gandhi called off the non-cooperation movement, following the violent murders of policemen by villagers, which were a reaction to the police's killing of three villagers by firing at Chauri Chaura in the United Provinces in 1922, he joined the Young Revolutionary Movement. Henceforth, he began advocating the violent overthrow of the British in India.

Henceforth, he began advocating the violent overthrow of the British in India.
In 1923, Singh joined the National colegio in
Lahore, where he not only excelled in academics but also in extra-curricular
activities. He was a participant of the dramatics sociedad in
the college. By this time, he was fluent in Hindi, English, Urdu,
Punjabi and Sanskrit languages. In 1923, Singh won an essay competition
set by the Punjab Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. In his essay on Punjab's
Language and Script , he quoted Punjabiliteratura and showed a deep
understanding of the problems of afflicting Punjab. He joined the
Indian nationalist youth organisation Naujawan bharatSabha (Hindi:
"Youth Society of India") along with his fellow revolutionaries, and
became popular in the organisation. He also joined the Hindustan
Republican Association, which had prominent leaders, such as Ram Prasad Bismil, Chandrashekhar Azad and Ashfaqulla Khan.
The name of the organisation was changed to Hindustan
Socialist Republican Association at Singh's insistence. A year
later, to avoid getting married by his family, Singh ran away from his house to Cawnpore.
