Bhagat Singh - Shaheed - E - Azam
Bhagat Singh,Sukhdev & Rajguru are the symbol of the heroism for youth of India.While Bhagat Singh continues to remain an icon for modern day Indian youth, the fact that needs to be underlined is that he and his associates acquired the status of living legends even in their brief life time.
During the freedom struggle there were numerous revolutionaries but there was something special about Bhagat Singh and his compatriots and he became the synonym of the revolutionary and is aptly referred as ‘Shaheed-E-Azam’. The Shahidi Divas is not the day of sorrow but day of pride and national honour. It was to honour the fact that they sacrificed their life to free India from the foreign rule. .
I am a big admirer of Bhagat Singh, not only for the sacrifices that he made and his contribution to freedom struggle but also because of his philosophies and ideas that so much fit into the requirement of our society even to this date.
He was a complete visionary and a vigilante who will be missed by only those people who truly understand what critical position our nation is in and how dexterous of him to have realized that in those times when people could not look beyond freedom. His definition of freedom was that of liberation from not only British but from the typical tendency of Indians to separate in the name of religion, caste, color, sex, creed etc.
Accrding to Sri Periyar , Bhagat Singh was not only against communal and divisive politics, he hated and mocked at the Indian caste system, which makes the people untouchable on the basis of their birth in a particular caste. He reiterated in his writings and statements that all exploitations-economic, social or cultural, had to go if we want to build a strong nation.
Echoing these views in his own way, Sri Periyar wrote further in the editorial that to abolish untouchability we have to abolish the principle of upper and lower castes. In the same manner, to remove poverty we have to do away with the principle of capitalists and wage-earners. So socialism and communism are nothing but getting rid of these concepts and systems. These are the principles Bhagat Singh stood for.
Bhagat Singh's ideal and supreme sacrifice has the potential to enliven millions of struggling lives.Bhagat Singh will continue to inspire all those who are committed to secular socialist values and reject the caste based hierarchical society.
Author, Irfan Habib, who wrote a book on Bhagat Singh - 'To Make The Deaf Hear' Writes ,Bhagat Singh, a symbol of resistance, He did not wish to live. He refused to apologize, or even file an appeal. Bhagat Singh was not a devotee of non-violence, but he did not subscribe to the religion of violence. He took to violence due to helplessness and to defend his homeland. He gave his life for the noble cause of showing to India, nay to the world, the path of real equality and peace. He has reached a great height, a feat never achieved normally by any one else.
In his last letter, Bhagat Singh wrote –” I have been arrested while waging a war. For me there can be no gallows. Put me into the mouth of a cannon and blow me off.”
Dear Friends ,These heroes had conquered the fear of death. Let us salute them a thousand times for their heroism, But we should not imitate their act. we belong to the peaceful land of Gautma Buddha, Mahaveer, Sri Ram, Guru Nanak. & Mahatma Gandhi preachers of nonvoilence.
Our Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi objected to violence, not only because an unarmed people had little chance of success in an armed rebellion, but because he considered violence a clumsy weapon which created more problems than it solved, and left a trail of hatred and bitterness in which genuine reconciliation was almost impossible.
In our land of millions of destitute and crippled people, if we take to the practice of seeking justice through violence, there will be a terrifying situation. Our poor people will become victims of our atrocities. By making a dharma of violence, we shall be reaping the fruit of our own actions. Hence, though we praise the courage of these brave men, we should never countenance their activities. Our dharma is to swallow our anger, abide by the discipline of non-violence and carry out our duty.
Jai Hind
