Why I consider Bhagat Singh above all revolutionaries and why only Bhagat Singh books?

 

    When we talk about ‘Bhagat Singh’ what probably comes in your mind is the Gun that kiiled John Saunders, Bombing at the Central Legislative Assembly etc. Some see him ONLY as a symbol of masculinity. But many do not know Bhagat Singh was always against violence and violence was always his last resort.

1.   1. THE CHARACTER TRAITS: He was a person of moral integrity and practical sagacity. A person of an unblemished unmatched character.

2.   2. THE FIERCE INTELLECTUAL HUNGER: He was a voracious reader and a person having excellent writing skills. Bhagat Singh is said to have read over 300 books alone when he was behind the bars.

3.   3. THE FEARLESS TIGER: Bhagat Singh was a fearless tiger who never bowed before the colonial rule. On the contrary he petitioned before the court that he be shot alive instead of hanging. When he was being hanged he was smiling and this was done to lower the British Imperialism.

4.   4. HIS UNSHAKEABLE FAITH IN HIMSELF AND LISTENING TO INNER SELF: Bhagat Singh respected Gandhiji and his thoughts but disagreed on the point that his ideas cannot bring a social change. He did not blindly follow the crowd like others.

5. 5.  HIS VISIONARY, FARSIGHTEDNESS & ACUITY: Bhagat Singh had all these qualities. While most Freedom fighters aimed only to free India from the clutches of the colonial rule his visionary was far ahead of freeing India and far ahead of time.

6.   6.  PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE AND FOLLOWING THAT WITH PASSION: While most of today’s youth remain aimless, at such a tender age Bhagat Singh knew what his purpose in life is and he followed it with passion.

7.  7.  SACRIFICE: Nothing can be achieved from the comfort zone. Mental toughness is paramount for achieving any goal. Wealth, family, cosy life nothing could lure him. He sacrificed everything for his goal (country).

Despite I belong to a pure Assamese family  I am a staunch supporter of Bhagat Singh and his ideologies, and for the above reasons I consider Bhagat Singh the tallest and above all Revolutionaries.  

I share my birthday with Sadagopan Ramesh (Cricketer), Hema Malini, Oscar Wilde (Writer) Jeremy Jackson (Actor), Birinchi Kumar Barua (Assamese Scholar) , Justice J. N Bhatt ( Former Patna High Court Judge) and if you want to ask me whom would you like to be re-born as? The answer is obvious : As witty, as Clever , as intellect etc as the Fearless Tiger 🦁:

                                      ‘शहीद भगत सिंह’.
