Famous Social Reformers & Revolutionaries 8: Shaheed Bhagat Singh

“Shaheedon ki chitaon par lagenge har varsh mele,
Watan pe mitne walon ka yahi baki nishaan hoga.”

(There will be fairs at the tombs of the martyrs every year; this is what will remain of those who die for their country.)

The Independence Movement in India was one of the greatest movements in the history of mankind. Thousands of revolutionaries sacrificed their lives and millions struggled for decades.

Generally, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Patel, Lajpat Rai, and many more prominent leaders from the Congress Party of the time had spent several years in prisons while continuing their struggle for freedom, but there were some others who believed in stern measures and immediate actions.
