Netizens Remember Bhagat Singh On His Death Anniversary

23 Mar, 2021 09:28 IST|Sakshi Post

Every year, March 23rd is marked as Shaheed Diwas. The day commemorates the hanging of India’s three freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru. They were hanged on March 23, 1931, at the Lahore Jail. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Azad, and Gopal, Singh fought against British rule in India. Bhagat Singh was born September 27, 1907, Lyallpur, western Punjab, India (now in Pakistan), a revolutionary hero of the Indian Independence movement.

Bhagat Singh started to protest against the British rule in India since his childhood. He also worked as a writer and editor in Amritsar for Punjabi and Urdu-language newspapers espousing Marxist theories.

In 1919, when he was 12 years old, Bhagat Singh visited the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, just a few hours after thousands of unarmed people gathered at a public meeting had been killed.

Bhagat Singh became disillusioned with Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence after he 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 Revolutionary Movement and called for a violent overthrow of the British Government in India.
In 1929, he and an associate threw a bomb at the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi to protest the implementation of the Defence of India Act by cheering the slogan of "Inquillab Zindabad (long live the revolution)". 

Today, on the death anniversary of Bhagat Singh, the Twitterati is remembering Bhagat Singh and are tweeting with hashtags #23rdMarch, #BhagatSingh, #InquilabZindabad, #23RdMarch. Here are the tweets.
