How is Bhagat Singh a role model?

Answer 1

Bhagat Singh is a role model to the youth of India, as to how one can serve his motherland. Visualise, how this brave son of Mother India climbed the gallows(with his comrades, of course) for the noblest of causes, of seeing their motherland freed from the bondage of the imperialist rulers & to awaken the youth of the time to join in the Freedom struggle. That too at the ripe young age of 20 somethings. Can't this be reason enough??? Add to the above, his immenese knowledge of the Political scene of the time, national as well as world. He was a well read person, with communist leanings. He had studied Marxism & wanted to establish a Socialistic pattern of society, where there wasn't any place for the exploitation of man(workers,peasants,labourers) by man(capitalists,imperialists). For this cause, he threw a 'harmless' bomb, alongwith Batukeshwar Dutt, in the Central Legislative Assembly, Delhi, in April 1929 with shouts of "Inquilab Zindabad"(Long Live the Revolution!). Simultaneously, handbills were thrown in the Chamber quoting an earlier French revolutionary that, 'It takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear.' They wanted the British to hear the deafening screams of the toiling Indian masses, whose condition was growing worst by the day, as a result of the unfair Tarde Policies adopted by the then government. They warned that a "veritable storm was about to rise from the seemingly still calmness of the Indian masses." Anyway, the British didn't pay much heed to the above warning & after a farce trial sentenced Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev to death, under the Lahore Conspiracy case. While in jail, he & his comrades continued their crusade against the British government by hunger striking for ethical treatment of political prisoners. They made the court proceedings a medium of propogating their ideas. And surely, the Indian masses, especially the youth, were greatly impressed by this bunch of honest youngmen so dedicated to their cause. The British couldn't take this & despite numerous petitions from several popular leaders of the time, as well as protests from the public in general, decided to carry out the death sentence in a haste. As a result, contrary to all conventions, these HEROES of the people were hanged a day earlier, on the evening of 23rd March 1931 & their dead bodies disposed off in a secert manner, so that the general public would not have any knowledge of it. But as prophesised by Bhagat Singh, the days of the British Empire were truly numbered. The whole nation rose up against the might of the British empire & applauded the heroes as MARTYRS. Bhagat Singh & his comrades are an example to generations of Indians as to how to serve one's motherland selflessly & dedicatedly.
