Bhagat Singh vs Juhayman al-Otaybi

Bhagat Singh and his associates killed British police officer John Saunders in Lahore, mistaking him for James Scott, who had ordered the lathi charge that killed Lala Lajpat Rai. This act of revenge escalated the revolutionary movement.

Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi to protest the Public Safety Bill and Trade Disputes Act. They were arrested and used the trial to propagate revolutionary ideas.

Bhagat Singh and fellow prisoners went on a 116-day hunger strike in Lahore jail demanding better treatment for political prisoners. The strike drew national attention and forced the British to make concessions.

Bhagat Singh was executed by hanging at Lahore jail at age 23, along with Rajguru and Sukhdev. His execution sparked widespread protests and made him a martyr for the Indian independence movement.

Juhayman al-Otaybi wrote a series of letters criticizing the Saudi royal family for corruption, Westernization, and deviation from Islamic principles. These letters circulated underground and helped mobilize his followers for the Grand Mosque seizure.

Juhayman al-Otaybi led a group of armed followers in seizing the Grand Mosque in Mecca, declaring his brother-in-law as the Mahdi. The siege lasted two weeks, resulting in hundreds of deaths before Saudi forces recaptured the mosque with French assistance.

After the Grand Mosque siege, Juhayman al-Otaybi was captured, tried, and publicly executed by beheading in Mecca along with 62 of his followers. The execution was intended to deter future challenges to the Saudi monarchy.
