The renowned revolutionary, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, continues to inspire and drive the young of independent India today. Born on September 28, 1907, in Banga, Punjab, Bhagat Singh was nurtured in a Sikh household with a strong sense of loyalty. His birth anniversary is widely recognised around the country. Bhagat Singh, driven by a fiery temperament and a deep passion for liberation, dedicated his life to battling British colonial control. On March 23, 1931, the British government convicted him to death in the Lahore Conspiracy Case, despite his young age of 23. His dedication to India’s freedom was kindled at the age of 12 when he witnessed the Jallianwala Bagh slaughter, which led him to swear to liberate the country from British oppression.
