Bhagat Singh

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.
