Bhagat Singh
    “They may kill me but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.”
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Raj Guru are true patriots who willingly laid down their lives for their country, Bharat, at a young age. Those heroes who moved forward with the determination to break the chains of slavery and let the people breathe the air of freedom had to sacrifice their lives. However, Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev are those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country. Hearing those words before the execution of those heroes, no one's blood could stop boiling.
On that day, the national movement in India against the British government was going on fiercely. Bhagat Singh along with his followers actively participated in the movement for the freedom of the country. The then national leader Lala Lajapati Rai died due to severe beating by the police. In retaliation, Bhagat Singh and his henchmen fired on Lahore SP. But instead of SP, additional SP Sanders was killed in the firing. Later they escaped from there.
But shortly after, Bhagat Singh's followers hurled a low-pressure bomb in the then Delhi Assembly to protest the torture of Indian prisoners taken by the British. Later they had the opportunity to escape from there but did not do so. In addition to this case, the then British government overturned the Sanders case. Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev were sentenced to death as part of the trial.
Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev were asked what their last wish was in the then court. Do you know what they answered? All three requested that they should not be hanged like common criminals and shot dead as political prisoners. But the British government refused their wish.
The then court ruled that patriots Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev should be hanged on the morning of March 24, 1931. But knowing this matter, the whole country became tense. The English government, thinking that there was a chance of the whole country becoming tense, decided to execute the sentence a day earlier on March 23 at 7.30 pm.
They brought all three to the grounds of Lahore Central Jail. Seeing them, some Indian policemen had tears in their eyes. But Bhagat Singh was not worried at all. All three of them looked bold as if they were waiting for this moment. Bhagat Singh is standing in the middle, Sukh Dev on the left and Raj Guru on the right. At this time the brave warriors kissed the gallows in front of them. Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev who climbed the altar put the gallows on the necks of the deceased. Their words in this tense time make everyone's blood boil.
Bhagat Singh
Bhagat Singh, one of the revolutionaries who was a part of the freedom movement for Indian independence, was martyred at a very young age.  He, therefore, became a role model to many youngsters and leaders to gather the courage to fight, to act against injustices and to voice out all that needs to be heard.
