Bhagat Singh
Bhagat SinghBhagat Singh was a freedom fighter and one of the most famous revolutionaries of Indian Independence Movement. It is also believed that he was one of the earliest Marxists in India. Bhagat Singh was born in a family that was actively involved in revolutionary activities against the British rule in the country. The name given to Bhagat Singh meant `devotee`. `Arya Samaj` had a huge impact on the life of Bhagat Singh`s father Sardar Kishan Singh Sandhu. His uncles as well as his father were all part of the `Ghadar Party` that was led by Kartar Singh Sarabha. Bhagat Singh`s mentor was Kartar Singh Sarabha, who was a freedom fighter of the country.

Early Life of Bhagat Singh
Bhagat Singh was born on 27th September, 1907 into a Sandhu family in Khatkar Kalan village in Lyallpur district of Punjab. The Jalianwalabagh Massacre, which took place in Punjab in 1919, had a deep impact on the mind of young Bhagat Singh. In the year 1920, Mahatma Gandhi started the Non Cooperation Movement. Bhagat Singh at that time was of 13 years and he became an active participant with a great hope that this movement would bring freedom to the country. But he was really disappointed with Gandhiji`s decision to call off this movement following the `Chauri Chaura` riot in the year 1922. Further, Bhagat Singh challenged the British rule and followed the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi by burning his government-school books and imported clothes.

Bhagat Singh in his early age read a lot of literature and poetries especially written by Punjabi writers. Allama Iqbal from Sialkot, who was also a freedom fighter, was Bhagat Singh`s favourite poet. By winning an essay competition that was organised by Punjab Hindi Sahitya Sammelan in 1923, young Bhagat Singh attracted the attention of the Punjab Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. Initially, Bhagat Singh studied at the National College in Lahore. But after some time, he ran away from his home in order to escape early marriage.

    Gandhis Impact

    In the early 1930’s, Gandhi’s movement for India's independence took a new form when he introduced the civil disobedience movement. During the 1920’s when Gandhi had first introduced a sense of nationalism among his fellow Indians, he did so with great passion yet there was still much to be done to gain respect from the British. His campaign for Swaraj took a new form when his demands were ignored, and he introduced the Civil Disobedience movement in the early 1930’s.…

    Summary of Ghandi the Movie

    Gandhi was a small Indian man that faced the British Empire's policies of injustice, discrimination, and colonial control without using a single punch or bullet, or in any way using violence as a weapon. The fact that he defeated the British Empire by winning Indian Independence is considered as testimony that Gandhi should be given the status of being remembered as a ‘great man’ in history. Gandhi began his work against the injustices of the British Empire when he was still a young man in South Africa. After returning to India, Gandhi had convinced himself that he must get in touch with the common people and convince them to follow him in nonviolent and non-cooperative protest against British Rule. Through marches, demonstrations, and protests, Gandhi was able to bring the attention of the world to India by displaying the atrocities of the British Empire and not reacting with violence. Although Indian Independence was Gandhi's main goal, he had a hard time accepting the idea that Hindus and Muslims did not want to live together even after India had gained independence. The road in achieving India’s Independence was a long one for Gandhi; therefore, to fully understand his struggle, it is necessary to start at the beginning…

    Role of sikhs in the revolt of 1857

    Old secret records are neuters to the fact that in the time phase, when nobody had the courage to pronounce the word ‘Independence’, the noise of the Babas of the ‘Gader’ was heard. The noise of the bell awake the Indians from deep and long sleep. At Baj-Baj port, the Sikhs faced the bullets of the Britisher’s under the leadership of Shri Guru Granth Sahibji. There was turmoil in Punjab. The informers of the Britishers and traitors were killed, one by one. There is no doubt that the Britishers started the drive of suppression, but the strength of that movement was on increase.

    Bhagat Singh- bomb case, hunger strike and lahore conspiracy

    These repressive measures taken by the British Government basically aimed at combatting the revolutionary activities of revolutanires like Bhagat Singh. In response to this, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association planned to explode a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly where the ordinance was going to be passed.

Tha plan was to send Bhagat Singh off to Russia, while Batukeshwar Dutt should carry on the bombing with Sukhdev. Sukhdev then forced Bhagat Singh to call for another meeting and here it was decided, against the initial agreement, that Batukeshwar Dutt and Bhagat Singh would carry on the bombing.

The European structure of education made acquainted the middle-class intelligent Indians with the traditional values of the European culture. Those values, nonetheless -democratic system, personal liberty, and equal opportunity- were the direct opposite of the empire, and the native Indians citizens encouraged nationalist movements. During the Great War, the Indian nationalist formed two organizations, the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League that opposed the British to bring self-rule to India in order to gain independence for India. As the war continues, goods and foods were scarce which led to social disgruntlement among British colonizers. The British government reacted to the rise of nationalist movement that came in the awaken of peace agreement with a sequence of oppressive actions that lead to an outbreak of violence and chaos throughout the Indian subcontinent. Into this chaos, came Mohandas Gandhi. He set off to South Africa to receive a position with an Indian organization, and from there he engaged in organizing Indian society against racial separation that singled out Indians as second class citizens. During his stay in South Africa, Gandhi utilized the moral philosophy of ahimsa, tolerance and nonviolence, and formed the practice of passive resistance that he named Satyagraha.…
