Rare picture of revolutionary Batukeshwar Dutt on his death bed with #BhagatSingh's mother Vidyawati caressing him. Independent India, which followed the path of ahimsa, did not accord Dutt any recognition, and he spent his remaining life in poverty. 1/

Batukeshwar Dutt was born on 18 November 1910 in Bardhaman, Bengal. Along with Singh and Sukhdev, he was tried in the Central Assembly Bomb Case, and was sentenced in 1929 to life imprisonment. 2/

So many revolutionaries and their kin suffered in free India, whereas Gandhi bhakts became the ruling class. All those Indian underlings of the British who tortured and killed our freedom fighters also luxuriated in free India. They and their offspring became the new sahibs. 3/

#BhupendraKumarDutta – In all his life, Bhupendra never took rest, from childhood till his death, he was fighting – for his people, for his country, the only difference is, he fought twice.

His fight continued even after independence.

His “Upavasa Satyagraha” for 78 days,

was the longest ever period of hunger strike in any country.

There’s a meaning if British forget, but when our own people erase these legends from our history?

This man’s story is truly gut wrenching, fights for freedom & sees the country divide into 3, settles in today’s

Bangladesh to protect Hindus, finally comes to Bharat when he looses everything.

On #BhagatsinghJayanti a long thread on his early life, ideals and trial.

#BhagatSingh was descended from a family of Khalsa Sardars, who had fought in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s army against the Pathans, and helped the empire to expand. For this contribution, they were awarded with a large piece of land.

His grandfather Sardar Arjun Singh was a landlord himself, who choose to oppose the British, and that nationalism in a way came down to Bhagat. Arjun Singh had 3 sons- Ajit Singh, Swaran Singh and Kishen Singh, all of whom were noted for their nationalism and integrity.

@Gandhian_

Gandhi had no role in freedom movement? His non-violent movement was ineffective? Really?

I’ll just share few quotes which will destroy this whole argument. Read🧵

[1]

“He [Gandhi] gave us a scare. His program filled our jails. You cannot go on and arrest people forever,you know, not when there are 320 million of them,and if they had taken the next step and refused to pay the taxes. God knows where we would have been.”

— George Lloyd

Lord George Lloyd was the then governor of Bombay during Salt March

"It Takes A Loud Sound To Make The Deaf Hear"
Read the pamphlets which were thrown into the gallery following a smoke bomb.
The 2 Freedom Fighters, #BhagatSingh and #BatukeshwarDutt
stood still.

On 08/04/1929, a Smoke Bomb Exploded in Central Legislative Assembly, Delhi.

They never wanted to escape. They readily accepted imprisonment, as they believed that it would inspire the next generation of revolutionaries to fight for the cause of freedom.

In the book,

" The Jail Note book & Other Writings" Chamanlal who compiled various letters, incidents wrote that "It was clear from the beginning that these bombs were to be harmless, not designed to kill or injure anyone, but to create an explosion that would make the deaf hear.

क्या गांधी ने भगत सिंह को बचाने की कोशिश नहीं की?

गांधी के खिलाफ सबसे बार-बार लगाए गए आरोपों में से एक और सबसे बड़ा मिथक यह है कि उन्होंने भगत सिंह को फांसी से बचाने की कोशिश नहीं की। आइए भगत सिंह की शहादत के अवसर पर सच्चाई जानें

पढ़िए - एक थ्रेड 🧵

#BhagatSingh
#भगतसिंह

गांधी ने भगत सिंह को बचाने की पूरी कोशिश की। तब लॉर्ड इरविन वाइसराय थे. गांधी ने गांधी-इरविन पैक्ट के दौरान सवाल उठाया था। गांधी ने 18 फरवरी 1931 को भगत सिंह की मौत की सजा का सवाल उठाया।

उन्होंने होशियारी के साथ वायसराय के समक्ष रखा, और इस मुद्दे पर वायसराय के साथ चर्चा की और उन पर दबाव डाला।

गांधी ने वायसराय से कहा, "यदि आप वर्तमान माहौल को और अधिक अनुकूल बनाना चाहते हैं, तो आपको भगत सिंह की फांसी को रोक देना चाहिए।"

Did Gandhi not saved Bhagat Singh?
- Gandhi tried his best to save Bhagat Singh.

Let's burst propaganda in detail !

[ THREAD 🧵 ]

1/n

You were brainwashed. Gandhi did try to save Bhagat Singh. But you were prejudice so much that you can not digest the truth.

Gandhi raised the question of Bhagat Singh on 19th March when they met to discuss the notification of the Pact at the Congress session in Karachi.

2/n

Gandhi told then Viceroy Irwin that if he postponed or retracted the execution, it would bring peace.

Irwin was shocked to see that how an apostle of non-violence is so earnest pleading for the cause of creed so opposed to him.

Bhagat Singh quit school at thirteen to devote his life to Indian Independence and died at a very young age of 23. Popularly he is known as Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh. He was found guilty of killing a British police officer and hanged on March 23, 1931.
#BhagatSingh
#शहीद_दिवस

After Jallianwala Bagh's incident at the age of 12, he bunked school and went to a tragic place. he collected a bottle of mud, wet with the blood of Indians and worship it every day. He was a great actor and played roles in plays like ‘Rana Pratap’ and ‘Bharat-Durdasha’.

Bhagat Singh in his childhood always spoke about guns. He wanted to grow guns in the fields using which he can fight with the British. When he was 8 years old, instead of talking about toys or games he always speaks about driving out British from India.

@INSIGHTUK2

As per Sindhuji #BhagatSingh was,

👉neither a leftist nor a socialist
👉a free thinker who used to read Lenin but also kept Bhagwat Gita in the other hand
👉translated Veer Savarkar's book "Indian war of independence 1857" in Gurumukhi

He was in true sense a "pure nationalist".

#BhagatSingh is an exemplary role model for the young generation.

In his short life, he attended highest peaks of human values, he will be remembered for the eternity.

What Indian leftist has done is a low grade treachery by calling him leftist.

One cannot hide truth for long.

Every day we're finding new information about #BhagatSingh that breaks apart false imagination sowed around him.

We respectfully & humbly bow to a braveheart son of Bharat Mata!

Unfortunately, Bhagat Singh, one of India's bravest sons, has been deliberately portrayed as an "Extremist" in Congress era History books.

Today, on the 114th Birth Anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, let us revisit some lesser known stories about him: A Thread

#BhagatSingh

1. After Jallianwala Bagh massacre where the British brutally killed over 1000 Indians, he went to the Bagh and collected in a glass bottle the blood soaked mud of the Bagh and prayed to it daily. This acted as a reminder to him of what his ultimate goal was.

#BhagatSingh

2. He was a stage actor in college which later helped him escape from Lahore after he assassinated JP Saunders. Durga Devi acted as his wife and Sukhdev as his domestic help as they boarded a train to escape to Calcutta deceiving the 400 policemen at the Station.

1. Bhagat Singh was hanged today 89 years ago. Let us remember what he said about Islam/Muslims, in an essay: "Centuries of continuous warfare and Muslim invasions had dried up the literature of Punjab. The Hindi language was at the verge of extinction. ..." contd.

2."We find a sense of fellow-feeling and helpfulness for the oppressed in the preaching of Guru Teg Bahadur ji:
बन्ही जिन्हां दी पकड़िए, सिर दीजिए बन्ही न छडिए
गुरु तेगबहादुर बोल्या, धरती पै धरम न छोड़िए [Guru Teg Bahadur asked not to forsake your Dharma on this earth.]" contd.

3."Carrying the same spirit Baba Banda & others fought Muslim ruler ceaselessly. ...when Sikhs were compelled to be confined to forests, no new literature could be created. They had a ... spirit to continue their war against Muslim rulers, but they could not plan future beyond."

हर 23 मार्च को हम भगत सिंह, सुखदेव थापर और शिवराम राजगुरु द्वारा हमारे वतन के प्रति दिए गए बलिदान को याद करते हैं। इस दिन की वर्षगांठ जिस दिन इन तीनों क्रांतिकारियों ने अपने जीवन का बलिदान दिया, उसे शहीदी दिवस/शहादत दिवस #MartyrsDay के रूप में याद किया जाता है।
#BhagatSingh १/

उन्होंने एक मुक्त-उदारमतवादी, लोकतांत्रिक और धर्निरपेक्ष भारत का सपना देखा था। और अपने उस सपने के लिए उन्होंने अपनी जान न्योछावर कर दी। हमें भगत सिंह के सपनों के भारत को नहीं भूलना चाहिए।

हमें भगत सिंह के सपनों के भारत को नहीं भूलना चाहिए। और फिर भी, भारतीय समाज कट्टरवाद, सांप्रदायिक घृणा, अन्याय और भ्रष्टाचार के जहर से तहस नहस हो रहा है। आखिर कब तक हम एक दूसरे से लड़ते रहेंगे?

#BhagatSingh matured as a political thinker while in #prison, and his prison diary reveals the trajectory of his political evolution. He drafted 4 manuscripts while in jail & several other papers,including Why I Am an Atheist & Letters to Young Political Workers. Some excerpts👇

"The day shall usher in a new era of #liberty when a large no.of men & women,taking courage from the idea of serving humanity& liberating them from sufferings & distress,decide that there is no alternative before them except devoting their lives for this cause[of India’s freedom]

“Instead of developing the ideas and experiments of ancient thinkers, thus providing ourselves with the ideological weapon for the future struggle– we cling to orthodox #religion and in this way reduce human awakening to a stagnant pool.”
