Short Biography Of Bhagat Singh
Kishan Singh Sandhu and Vidyavati Kaur welcomed Bhagat Singh into the world on September 28, 1907, into a Jat Sikh Punjabi family. In the Lyallpur district of the Punjab region of British India, Chak No. 105 in the village of Banga, Jaranwala Tehsil, is where he was born.
The members of Bhagat Singh’s patriotic family took part in the movement for Indian independence. Additionally, a few of its members had fought in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s army. The KhatkarKalam village, which is close to the town of Banga in Punjab’s Nawanshah district, was the ancestral home of Bhagat Singh.
The Ghadar Party, which was headed by Kartar Singh Sarabha and HarDayal, included his father as well as his uncles Ajit Singh and Swaran Singh. Bhagat Singh did not enrol at the Khalsa High School in Lahore because his grandpa disapproved of the administrators’ fidelity to the British government.
Bhagat Singh Short Biography
Bhagat Singh's contribution to the Indian Freedom Movement
Bhagat Singh welcomed demonstrators against the Gurudwara Nankana Sahib fire of February 20, 1921, which resulted in the deaths of numerous unarmed protesters, when he was just 14 years old. For the demonstration, he welcomed them to his village. He joined the Young Revolutionary Movement, which called for the violent overthrow of the British Empire in India, in the year 1922. He disapproved of Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent philosophy87i and was disappointed when Gandhiji ended the non-cooperation movement. Bhagat Singh was drawn to anarchist and Marxist theories after researching European revolutionary movements.
The passing of Lala Lajpat Rai and the murder of Saunders
A commission headed by Sir John Simon was established by the British government in 1928 to provide a report on the current political climate in India. Since there were no Indians among the commission’s members, the Indian political parties boycotted it. As a result, there were widespread objections to the Commission.
Lala Lajpat Rai spearheaded a nonviolent protest against the commission during the panel’s visit to Lahore on October 30, 1928, but the police violently reacted.
James A. Scott, the superintendent of police, gave the order to attack Lajpat Rai with a lathi and other weapons, leaving him seriously hurt. On November 17, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai passed away. It was commonly believed that Scott’s punches were the cause of his demise.
1929 bombing incident at the assembly
On April 8, 1929, Bhagat Singh and Dutt detonated two explosives inside the assembly while yelling “InquilabZindabad!” They also dispersed pamphlets that said, “It takes a loud noise to make the deaf hear.”
According to the leaflet, the act was carried out in opposition to the trade dispute, the public safety measure that was introduced in the Central Assembly, and Lala Lajpat Rai’s passing. Although no one was killed, the explosions caused the entire room to be covered in smoke.
This, according to Bhagat Singh and Dutt, was done on purpose. This assertion was supported by British forensic examiners, who discovered that the bombs were not lethal and that people had actually thrown them. As expected, the police then detained Bhagat Singh and Dutt.
Bhagat Singh's passing
On March 24, 1931, the hanging of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivram Rajguru was ordered. The execution was scheduled for March 23rd in a telegram sent by the Punjab home secretary on March 17th to the home department in New Delhi.
Following that, Bhagat Singh was notified that, on March 23, 1931, 11 hours had been added to the scheduled time of his death.
On March 23, 1931, at 7:30 p.m., he and his fellow prisoners Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged in the Lahore Prison. The three martyrs were subsequently discreetly cremated in Ganda Singh Wala hamlet by jail officials who afterwards destroyed the jail’s back wall before scattering their ashes into the Sutlej River.
