Bhagat Singh – Famous Acts
Bhagat Singh was a very brave fighter. He was executed at a very young age i.e. 23 by Britishers for his violent acts. Singh believed in an eye for an eye and therefore he took revenge on the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. Bhagat Singh went to assassinate John Saunders, a British police officer. He even escaped the police who wanted to capture him. After that, he and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bombs and leaflets in the Central Legislative Assembly.
And then they surrendered, while he was in jail he gained the support of people. He also initiated a hunger strike which was 116 days-the the biggest hunger strike to date.
He demanded equal rights for prisoners the same as European prisoners. He was later hanged for his participation in the assassination of the police officers.
On March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, was hanged at Lahore jail. He was 23 years old at the time of his death. Since then, India observes March 23 as Shaheed Diwas or Martyr’s Day in respect for these three young martyrs.
