A legend is someone who dreams for the people. A legend is someone who lives for the people a. A legend is someone who dies for the people. A legend creates history. A legend can redefine it. A legend can install fear among his foes and spread love among his followers. You can kill a legend but not his thoughts. These thoughts inspire everyone. They ignite a fire in your heart that spreads from generation to generation. If a legend dies, its just the parting of his soul from his body. His soul is immortal. His ideal is his soul. It prevails even after the earth perishes.
A thinking revolutionary, an ultimate visionary, a fabulous leader who was way ahead of his time, a valiant warrior, Bhagat Singh was all this and much more. He is an ideal hero. He is patriotism personified.
Some consider him as a red blot in the, otherwise non-violent(that's what it is called in spite of the hundreds of lives which have been sacrificed and the amount of blood that has been shed) INDIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT. The English labeled him as a terrorist. But honestly, he was a valiant warrior. A warrior who fought for his country till the last drop of his blood. A warrior who threatened the very foundation of the English imperialism.
His aim was to "make the deaf hear". His ideas, inspired from great revolutionary leaders and writers like Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky, were aimed at the overall well being of the people with no religious or communal boundaries. He dreamed of an india, where man lived with perfect peace and complete liberty. He redefined the very concept of anarchism. He was an atheist and defied to accept God even in the last days of his life. He considered himself as a soldier. He requested the Viceroy to shoot him instead of hanging. It usually done to POW s. He was fire and
the flame he ignited burnt the entire British foothold in India. His death inspired millions of youngsters who fought with an immovable will and unstoppable courage to drive the British out.
His prediction has come true. Now the color of the exploiters has changed from white to brown. People are still being exploited. India yearns for a leader like him.
In his own words "It is easy to kill individuals but not their ideas. Great empires crumbled while such ideas survived".
INQUILAB ZINDABAD!!
JAI HIND!!
