Shaheed
bhagat
Singh
Is
regarded
as
one
of
the
greatest
heroes
across
India.
A
He
began
to
protest,
British
rule
in
India,
while
still
a
youth
and
soon
fought
for
independence.
He
was
involved
in
two
high-profile
plots
against
British
authorities
and
that
helped
to
Galvanize
the
Indian
independence
movement.
He
was
a
freedom
fighter
in
the
Indian
independence
movement
in
the
early
20th
century
and
was
hanged
by
the
British.
Along
with
two
of
his
colleagues
on
March
23
1931.
At
the
age
of
23.,
he
became
a
symbol
of
sacrifice
for
the
Youth
while
he
was
in
jail.
A
He
wrote
extensively
about
the
future
of
society
and
India
in
particular,
and
his
journalistic
career
was
marked
by
Relentless
courage,
as
his
efforts
took
to
take
on
the
world's
Mightiest
political
power.
At
the
time
the
British
colonial
Administration
often
brought
with
it
severe
curtailment
and
repression
and
to
be
targeted
brutally.
A
He
often
had
to
write
he
was
underground
and
had
to
use
a
pseudonym
he's
recognized
now
across
every
Town
Square
in
India.
There
is
an
18-foot
statue
in
the
parliament
to
recognize
him.
You
go
to
any
Town
Square
government
office
police
station
you'll
see
his
picture
hanging
there
and
his
message
reverberates
at
the
time
until
now,
which
has
taken
up
his
message
for
an
egalitarian
society
in
which
there
would
be
no
exploitation
between
peoples
and
Nations
who
pay
tribute
to
Shaheed
bhagat
Singh
In
recognition
of
sick
heritage
month.
Thank
you
very
much.
