28 September - Shaheed Bhagat Singh birth anniversary

Bhagat Singh born 28 September 1907 Lyallpur, western Punjab, India [now in Pakistan]—died 23 March 1931, Lahore [now in Pakistan] was an Indian socialist revolutionary whose two acts of dramatic violence against the British in India and execution at age 23 made him a folk hero of the Indian independence movement.

In 1928 Bhagat Singh plotted with others to kill the police chief responsible for the death of Indian writer and politician Lala Lajpat Rai, one of the founders of National College, during a silent march opposing the Simon Commission. Instead, in a case of mistaken identity, junior officer J.P. Saunders was killed, and Bhagat Singh had to flee Lahore to escape the death penalty. In 1929 he and an associate lobbed a bomb at the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi to protest the implementation of the Defence of India Act and then surrendered. He was hanged at the age of 23 for the murder of Saunders.

Tributes to the legendary freedom fighter on his birth anniversary. 

His courage, bravery and sacrifice for the nation will continue to inspire us.
