2. Born to Fight for freedom
Lets Start with the with small story
It was way back in 1910, when a 3 year old boy was walking with his
father.
After some time there was also an elderly man with the father.
Chatting, all 3 walked on and went beyond the village.
Green crop delighted their eyes and the elders were walking along the
edge of a field.
When the boy's father was not able to hear the footsteps of his son
,he looked back.
3. Cont.……………..
There, the boy was sitting on the ground and seemed to be
planting some thing. The father became curious and asked.
"What are you doing?" and the boy replied
"Look, father, I shall grow guns all over the field".
#) His eyes shone with the strong faith that guns would
grow in the field.
#) Both the elders were struck with wonder at the little
boy's words.
4. Cont.………………………
The boy was none other than
SHAHEED BHAGAT SINGH
the great freedom fighter ,one
of most influential
revolutionaries of Indian
independence movement, the
patriotic who later fought like
a hero for India's freedom and
sacrificed his life.

Independence of our country, and he is
hanged to death, it was none other than the legend BHAGAT
SHAHEED BHAGAT SINGH. SINGH, and he will never be forgotten
and we shouldn't forget his sacrifice for
our country.
6. Patriotic Family
It was not Bhagat Singh who was the
first one from his family who fought for
freedom but Bhagat Singh belonged to
a family of freedom fighters where, the
entire family, starting from his great
grandfather, all where very Patriotic
and freedom Fighters..
8. How was his early life
Bhagat Singh full name was Bhagat Singh Sandhu, and
he was born into a Sikh family to Sardar Kishan Singh
Sandhu and Vidyavati in the Khatkar Kalan village near
Banga in the Jalandhar district of Punjab on September
28,1907 and he was the third son to them.
The name itself speaks that he is patriotic as the
meaning of the word Bhagat means "DEVOTEE" and
"FORTUNATE".
9. School Life of Bhagat Singh
His grandfather Sardar Arjun Singh didn't
allow him to study at Khalsa High School
in Lahore because he discovered that the
school was loyal to the British authorities.
So his father enrolled him in Dayanand
Anglo Vedic High School, an Arya Samajist
school.
11. A True friend to all
He had a great interest in his studies and he was ahead of the others in
his class. He was the favourite student of all his teachers.
All his class- mates, liked him very much and he was their leader.
During his school days big boys in the class used to carry Bhagat Singh
on their shoulders to the school and back home.
This was a great indication in his childhood itself, that later he would
become a leader of revolutionaries, in the motto of getting the
freedom to the Nation.
He used to make friends with all and naturally his companions were his
friends.
12. Cont.………………
He doesn't have any discrimination or separation on the basis of religion as cart
men and coolies, and the very men who swept the streets were his friends.
Here is a interesting story to describe how he used to attract the people's heart.
Once a old tailor of the village who stitched clothes, delivered them at the house
and went away and his mother asked him.
Mother: Who is that who brought the clothes.
Bhagat Singh: My friend.
Mother: What! Is the tailor, too, your friend?
Bhagat Singh:Yes, every one in the village is my friend
Thus the ability to win the hearts of men grew in Bhagat Singh right from his
childhood.
13. Bhagat Singh Vs. Gandhiji
let us discuss what made Bhagat Singh to move
from the Gandhi's policy of non violence to
become a revolutionary freedom fighter.
It would be interesting to hear that even
Bhagat Singh do followed Gandhi's way of non-
violence.
It was in 1919 during the Jalianwala Bagh
Massacre he was deeply affected.
14. Bhagat Singh Vs. Gandhiji
His mind was deeply disturbed by this event and the next day he did not return home
after the school hours which made his family at home waited and waited and grew
anxious.
Instead of going to school, he went straight to the place where the tragedy took place
and collected a bottle of mud wet with the blood of Indians and returned home.
After he returned home late, his younger sister said, "Where were you all this time?
Mother has been waiting to give you something to eat.“
But he showed the bottle in his hand, and said,
"Look here. This is the blood of our people killed by the British. Salute this.“
After that he put the bottle in a niche and worshipped it with flowers.
16. Bhagat Singh Vs. Gandhiji
Bhagat Singh was totally disturbed and lot of things were
going in his mind and he wants The British to be driven out of
the country.
That was the time when the Indian National Congress was
fighting for the country's freedom under Gandhiji.
This made the people united and motivated to fight for the
freedom.
After finishing his 8th and before getting into 9th standard,
when he was 13, he told his father of his decision to join the
movement and asked for his permission. As his father himself
a revolutionary, Kishan Singh willingly gave his consent.
17. Bhagat Singh Vs. Gandhiji
Bhagat Singh left the school and joined the movement. It was during this time, there was a powerful anti-
foreign cloth movement in the country.
Bhagat Singh took part in this movement with great enthusiasm and as a matter of fact right from his early
days, he used to wear only Khadi.
He used to collect foreign clothes every week, heap them up and late he will burn them.
During that time, he had great hopes that Gandhi would bring freedom in India.
But the turning point of his life was during the time when Gandhi called off this movement following
the Chauri Chaura riot in 1922, and Bhagat Singh was really disappointed .
So, disgruntled with Gandhi's nonviolence action, and he later joined the Young Revolutionary
Movement and began advocating a violent movement against the British.
This is the time where Both Bhagat Singh and Gandhiji were against each other only in the method
which they followed but the goal was same for both as they aimed at getting freedom in their own
ways
18. What made him a Revolutionary Freedom
Fighter
The important part was the Chauri Chaura incident in
1922, where people locked up twenty-two policemen
together in a house, set fire to the house and burnt them.
This made Gandhiji to end the non- cooperation
movement which was then going on in the country as he
was very sad knowing people take violence in their hands.
Bhagat Singh who was 15 years old that time was
disappointed as he couldn't accept why Gandhi gave up
the movement due to this Chauri Chaura incident.
19. Cont.…………………
But even before that, a nineteen-year-old
revolutionary, Kartar Singh was hanged
by the British Government and none of
these supporters of nonviolence raised
any objection and that raised the question
in his mind "How could nonviolence
become so important now?" and these
thoughts made Bhagat Singh lose faith in
non - violence and non-cooperation
movements.
And then onwards he was very
confident that armed
revolution was the only
practical way of winning the
freedom from the Britishers
Bhagat Singh as a Revolutionist.
21. Revolutionary Movement
Bhagat Singh wanted to continue his studies and though
he had not been to school for some years, Bhagat Singh
had a good knowledge of history and politics and
principal of the National College admitted him.
This college was started by great patriots like Lala Lajpat
Ray.
Listening classes in morning and discussing the
revolutionary ideas among friends during the evening
hours was his routine during college days.
