Nation pays Tribute to Bhagat Singh,Rajguru And Sukhdev!

Nation remembers its great martyrs and pioneering revolutionaries of Independence movement as the death anniversary of Shaheed-e- Azam Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru has been observed across India on Sunday.

On this day in 1931, Bhagat Singh along with Rajguru and Sukhdev were given death sentence by then British Government.

Rajguru was the accomplice of Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev in killing a British police officer in Ferozpur in 1928 in order to take revenge for the death of veteran leader Lala Lajpat Rai due to excessive police beating.

In April 1929, the Central Legislative Assembly met in Delhi. The British Government wanted to place before the Assembly two bills which were likely to harm the country's interests.

Even if the Assembly rejected them, the Viceroy could use his special powers and approve them, and they would become laws.

Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt planned to throw a bomb in the Legislative Assembly and, get arrested.

On 8th of April 1929 this is what they exactly did. The idea of the attack was not to kill anyone but to create awareness about India's freedom struggle. They were arrested after this attack.

In their trial Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt stated, "If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free."

In the trial it was decided that Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were to be hanged for all their anti British activities.

The stories of his courage and patriotism became an inspiration for many youth at that time who wanted to see India independent.

Even today Shaheed Bhagat Singh's memory continues to inspire the youth and many poems and songs have been written about his courage and undying patriotism.
