They are Revolutionaries, not Terrorists!!!

March 23rd 1931, the day which can never be forgotten by any INDIAN, the day on which the ideas, ideals, new thought process, dreams and desires which were revolutionary and pro poor were brutally hanged by branding those as Extremist or terrorist ideas which created malaise in the society. Yes, I am referring to the brutal hanging of the legends who fought for the cause of FREEDOM to free Mother India from the shackles of British rule. Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar who embraced  death valiantly were executed illegally flaunting the rules and demonstrating  the barbaric rule of that time. the trial was  not conducted in a fair manner and it was pretty clear that British feared these young freedom fighters with revolutionary ideas and it seemed that they wanted to crush them with their IRON FIST, of course with the help of so called INDIANS. Its sad that even Gandhi didn't want to save these young heroes. I want to address them as HEROES WITH REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS which were pro people, pro poor, pro working class and ultimately and importantly PRO INDIA rather than mere revolutionaries. Its shame to call them or brand them as terrorists which many people and historians did and are doing who just know the half truth or no truth or not interested to know about their core ideologies. 

Bhagat Singh never wanted war, never embraced violence. He said: "It is famous that I am a terrorist but I am not that. I am a revolutionary who has certain ideology, defined ideals and a long programme and if people think that after living in for a long period in the jail, there is any change in my ideologies then they are wrong. It is my firm belief that we cannot get any benefit from either bombs or pistols. Throwing bomb is not only dangerous but also harmful. It is required in certain specific conditions. Our main aim is the organization of laborers and farmers." In many of his writings its very clear that the intention to throw bomb was to awaken the sleeping giant who was just interested to suck Indian's blood and exploit the poor. 

On 6th June 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt said in a statement,      'To change the system based on injustice, we need revolution. Is it not a constructed injustice that the labors and producers, despite being the part of mainstream, are victim of exploitation and have been denied basic human rights? Farmers, who produces die of hunger. The weaver who weaves cloths for others cannot do so for his own family and children. Meson, Carpenters, Iron smiths build huge palaces die living in huts and slums. On the other side, capitalist exploiters, anti social elements, spend crores of rupees on their fashion and enjoyment. Those who enjoy at the cost of hardworking and hungry people should understand that they are sitting on such a volcano which is about to erupt.' Its irony and painful to know that Indians required a bomb to awaken the ruling or to be specific EXPLOITING ELITE. For everyone who is ignorant about these noble ideas of Bhagat Singh my sincere request is please read this great hero, read him with love towards nation, read him with a pure heart. These are just a few ideas about these people, I am afraid it runs into pages and pages if I keep on writing. 

Bhagat Singh emphasized that ‘for  revolution the struggle against the external forces like imperialist - capitalists and colonialists as well as against the internal forces like the Indian capitalists, feudal landlords, moneylenders and traders was essential'. Don't you think this great legend is still relevant today? Yes, He is. In today's India where 10% Elite class enjoys at the cost of 90% working and toiling Indians, Bhagat Singh and his ideas are and will be very relevant. India needs a hero, a hero in every Indian, heroism in every action to wipe out the tears of the down trodden. 

Lets remember and cherish the sacrifice of these great heroes and preserve and protect our freedom, our democracy, our Unity and our values. 

Be a Hero, be a true Indian.
