 Bhagat Singh Remains Our Symbol of Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
By Revolution, we mean the ultimate establishment of an order of society which may not be threatened by such break-down, and in which the sovereignty of the proletariat should be recognised and a world federation should redeem humanity from the bondage of capitalism and misery of imperial wars.
MARCH 23 this year marks the 75th anniversary of the martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev who, along with their comrades, challenged the might of the British empire and set before their countrymen an example of supreme sacrifice for the cause of the country’s independence.

Quite a few highly concerned readers have telephoned us to ask this question following a comment in these columns last Monday that anybody holding a gun in his or her hands to dictate terms to others was a terrorist.
Their obvious reference was to the bomb thrown by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt in Parliament during the British regime in 1929.
It needs to be recalled that Bhagat Singh and Dutt had not thrown the bomb to kill any person but they had carried out their act with the sole objective of embracing death in order to rock a foreign power.

As Noorani’s narration makes clear, the killing of Saunders was a case of mistaken identity: the real target was Lahore’s Superintendent of Police, J.A. Scott, held responsible for a physical assault on Lala Lajpat Rai during a demonstration against the Simon Commission, in the aftermath of which the ageing freedom fighter died.
Noorani provides a detailed reconstruction of the Saunders shooting, and explains what exactly happened in the Central Assembly on April 8, 1929, when Bhagat Singh and his comrade Batukeshwar Dutt made their literally explosive point before calmly surrendering.
The culpability of these young freedom fighters is nowhere in doubt; as the author notes, no serious historian contests the fact that Bhagat Singh fired the fatal shots or hurled the bombs.
