"Man "O" Man" when I first read about him. I could not sleep properly for many nights. I could not digest that how one could do such a brave acts at such a young age! He did what he thought. No one could break his rock-Hard determination. He sacrificed his life for country when he was just 23years old. Most of historians call it the greatest sacrifice. He also sat on hunger strike unbelievably for 3 mouths just for his country men. At that time he was only 21.
I'm talking about the legend "Bhagat Singh". He was the freedom fighter of India and from a rich family. His father opened a dairy for him and also chose one beautiful girl for him to marry when he was 19. He could have grasped this wonderful opportunity for his bright and safe future but he thought otherwise he opted to sacrifice his life for country's bright future.
He said after his sacrifice there would be revolution in the country and Indians would kick Britishers out of the country. But it did not happen even he did not get the death in proper way. After his death Britishers cut his dead body into pieces then burnt his body pieces with the kerosene and threw it into the river so that people could not find his body.
A very sad end indeed still we are not taught about him in the text books. We just find biographies of Gandhi and Nehru in all the text books because they were congressmen. After the Independence congress ruled the India and did nothing for India.
But at least this great freedom fighter needs to be remembered.
