Freedom fighter Sardar Bhagat Singh
India's freedom fighter Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh was a fan of freedom who had kissed the gallows at the age of just 23, along with his companions Sukhdev and Rajguru. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre had the most impact in the mind of this great revolutionary.
Bhagat Singh believed that the thoughts could not be killed
According to sources, historian Amolak Singh said in this regard that Bhagat Singh believed that the body could be killed but the thoughts could not. Thoughts become immortal. Therefore, he spoke of a revolution against imperialism for the masses. Defining imperialism, he said that as long as the foreign powers are looting the people, life cannot be comfortable. Bhagat Singh wrote a lot about revolution.
