Bhagat Singh

Speech on Bhagat Singh.
One of the most famous Indian revolutionaries of his time, Bhagat Singh, was considered to be a freedom fighter of the Indian struggle. He was born on September 28, 1907. He was born in a Sikh family to Kishan Singh and Vidyavati in a rural district of Punjab. As growing up, he learned that his uncle Ajit Singh and his father Kishan Singh were a great freedom fighters involved in the war to India’s Independence. So understanding his Family’s situation Bhagat Singh grew up coming from a patriotic family which were really involved with India and its history. His uncle, Ajit Singh actually established India’s Patriots Association along with his partner Syed Haidar Raza. Understanding the actions of his uncle and other individuals to revolt against the British, Bhagat Singh growing up decided as a young man to help India’s cause to devoting his soul and mind to his mother land. During his childhood, Bhagat Singh was confident and bold, he was never afraid to back down from anything; his thought of the world was “growing guns on the field”, so that he could fight off the British. This phrase was his ambition and had driven him to make a change in India.

Growing up, he studied in the Dayand Anglo Vedic School in Lahore. When he was 16, he would always ask himself why Indians did not use force to withdraw their invaders. In his journey, to find rebellious ideas, he came across Sukhdev, Rajguru, and Chandrasekhar Azad, who with him formed the Hindustan Socialist Revolution Army. The aim of this new found Indian revolutionary movement was not to only make India independent, but also to create "a socialist India” unruled by the British Empire. Also, one of the main events in Bhagat Singh’s life was when he and Rajguru killed Mr. John Saunders, one of the officers of the Simon Commission because Lala Lajpat Rai was wounded.
The second primary event was when the British government was broadcasting two

    Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist, and the man credited with liberating India from British rule led a campaign of non-violent, civil disobedience that made the continued stay in the country by the British colonizers politically and morally untenable. Imprisoned by the British for fomenting unrest, Gandhi confronted the colonizers’ force of arms with the power of his ideas, and the rightness of his cause, and by his act of courageous disobedience prevailed gloriously over the British in the end. Today, India is a vibrant democracy of 1.2 billion people, free because of the disobedience of one frail, unprepossessing man, Mahatma Gandhi.…

    The Sepoy Mutiny was a symbol and a root of the struggle for Indian independence which would grow much larger over time. It caused the East India Company’s privilege of ruling the subcontinent to be transferred to the British government itself, which did not make India any more independent but caused the two nations to become more linked, and so Indians started to adopt the influential principle of nationalism, leading to the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885 under Allan Octavian Hume for the purpose of cooperation with the British Government. The British officials ruling India saw their relationship as one of lords over peasants, which made them sympathetic, but not Indian and not free of race prejudice. The Indian National Congress did not have much influence at the start, but it grew with anti-British sentiment.…

    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.…

    Rosen And Lynn Summary

    • 734 Words
    • 3 Pages

    While Rosen ultimately blames the remaining caste system in the Bengal army for the Great Mutiny, his chapter does not explain why the army could operate in that manner. Rosen’s argument fail to take into account different Indian concepts and ideals that may have contributed to the growth and success of the sepoy armies. His view focuses on the way European military values were reflected in the structure of sepoy armies, as seen in his discussion on how pay and uniforms served to separate the soldiers from the rest of society. Conversely, Lynn focuses on how European and Indian values worked together to create the sepoy armies, and his argument is stronger because of his analysis on the cultural values that drove Indians to military service under the…

    It’s clear that Gandhi’s campaigns of non-cooperation and attending political meetings with high ranked British officials during the early 1930s, were hugely significant as they mounted pressure on the Raj, leaving the British with no other alternative than to make concessions towards the nationalists. However, Purna Swaraj wasn’t achieved by Gandhi’s campaigns in the 1930s, due to the limitations of his methods as he was unable to cooperate and negotiate with the British. Conversely, demands for nationalism increased across India and the British began to lose any moral authority they had over the Indians.…

    Gandhi grew up as a mediocre student, with an overly religious mother, an arranged marriage at thirteen, and a deceased father. When he left his wife and son to train to become a lawyer in London, he made a vow to be strictly vegetarian, which was a big step that led him in his peaceful religious life. In England, he learned about legal cases in which one fought not with violence, but with logical arguments pleading their rights. When he returned to India, Gandhi was an improved person, and was ready to fight for injustice in South Africa, where he fought for the rights of colored people. When he fought with India to stop a Registration Act in 1906, he devised a “truth-force,”(p 172) which was a new type of nonviolent resistance in which a large group of people all break a law which they feel is unjust, and then let the opponent beat them, so the opponent (or law enforcers) feel guilty. In 1914, when he returned to India from South Africa, he started an economic sit-down strike against the British government. In 1919, he was forced to call off the act and plan a smaller one because it caused too much violence.…

    In History, we have always learned about heroes, leaders, and people who made accomplishments that in a way have changed the world. We live for what others have done. Any courageous step taken by an individual in order to achieve a goal, a belief, and seek for a right, comes only from a person with leadership, huge spirit, and greatness.

    Bhagat Singh, a Sandhu Jat,[1] was born on 28 September 1907 to Kishan Singh and Vidyavati at Chak No. 105, GB, Banga village, Jaranwala Tehsil in the Lyallpur district of the Punjab Province of British India. His birth coincided with the release from jail of his father and two uncles, Ajit Singh and Swaran Singh.[2] His family were Sikhs, some of whom had been active in Indian independence movements, and others having served in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army. His ancestral village was Khatkar Kalan, near the town of Banga in Nawanshahr district (now renamed Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar) of Punjab.[1] His grandfather, Arjun Singh, was a follower of Swami Dayananda Saraswati's Hindu reformist movement, Arya Samaj, which had a considerable influence on the young Bhagat.[1] His father and uncles were members of the Ghadar Party, led by Kartar Singh Sarabha and Har Dayal. Ajit Singh was forced to flee to Persia due to pending court cases against him, while Swaran Singh died at home in 1910 following his release from Borstal Jail in Lahore.[3] Unlike many Sikhs of his age, Singh did not attend the Khalsa High School in Lahore. His grandfather did not approve of the school officials' loyalism to the British authorities[4] Instead, he was enrolled in the Dayanand Anglo Vedic High School, an Arya Samaji institution.[5] In 1919, at the age of 12, Singh visited the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre hours after thousands of unarmed people gathered at a public meeting had been killed.[2] At the age of 14, he was among those in his village who welcomed protestors against the killing of a large number of unarmed people at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib on 20 February 1921.[6] Singh became disillusioned with Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence after Gandhi called off the non-cooperation movement. Gandhi's decision followed the violent murders of policemen by villagers who were reacting to the police killing three villagers in the 1922 Chauri Chaura incident. Singh joined the Young…

    DEBABRATA BISWAS, M.P; General Secretary, All India Forward Bloc The name Bhagat Singh has become a synonym of revolution. He was one of the great revolutionaries who made supreme sacrifice for the nation. Thousands of young people sacrificed their lives in the altar of India's liberation struggle but the name Bhagat Singh has a special place in the history of our independence. No other young revolutionary of India got much empathy in the minds of the people of India like Bhagat Singh. Still he is an inspiration source for the patriotic people of our motherland. It is important today to study the contributions of Bhagat Singh and his comrades when our country is again falling under the grip of imperialism and its designs. Unfortunately Bhagat Singh did not have much place in the history textbooks. There was a concerted effort to underestimate the contributions of revolutionaries who sacrificed everything for the liberation of our motherland. Bhagat Singh came from a family of patriots and freedom fighters. His uncle, Ajit Singh was a pioneer in opposing the Colonization Act 1905 and had to remain in exile till the country gained independence. His father also was an active participant in the struggle for the liberation of the country from the colonial rule. While as a student Bhagat Singh came under the influence of the revolutionaries. The October revolution led by Lenin attracted Bhagat Singh and he started to collect and read the literatures about socialism and socialist revolution. The years of the twenties in general and those of 1928-30 in particular were of great significant in the history of India's freedom struggle. Due to the failure of first non-cooperation movement, the revolutionaries of that period were frustrated and started to think about some alternative action plan. The formation of the Hindustan Republican Association, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army and the Naujawan Bharat sabha (All India…
