During the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, PM Modi recalled Bhagat Singh’s letter to the Britishers demanding a prisoner-of-war-like treatment.
The Prime Minister said, “Amar Shaheed Bhagat Singh is an inspiration for every Indian, especially the youth. Fearlessness was deeply ingrained in his nature.”
PM added, “Before being hanged, he had written a letter to the British requesting a prisoner of war-like treatment from the British and that he and his associates be shot to death, rather than being hanged. He was very sensitive towards people’s sufferings”.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907, in a Punjabi Sikh family in the village of Banga, in Lyallpur district of Punjab, then part of British India and now Pakistan, and was a major figure in the country’s Independence movement of the early 20th century.
Under the leadership of Singh, the Hindustan Republican Association was renamed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), which rose to new prominence in the Indian Independence movement and became a focus of public criticism.
