Bravo Bhagat Singh

[samarkadian]

Bhagat Singh should primarily be studied as a political figure of that time. It should be noted that as early as the beginning of 1928, when he was just entering his twenties, he and his sathi, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, very correctly visualised the future course of political development in India-some sort of Round Table Conference; a compromise between the British and the Congress leaders; a gradual merging of a section of Indian capital with British capital, the congress leadership becoming the spokesmen for this section of capitalists; the feudal forces compromising with the emerging capalists of India.

Thanks for giving oxygen to forum mr Dahiya with your thought provoking article n significant song.

Capitalism or feudalism is carrying on in one way or other.Earlier it was in form of people , now itsin form of corporate houses.Your concern regarding thinking and vision of Bhagat Singh are crucial in regard to todays condition.
Since Independance its been 2-3 generation raised up and dosed fully of capitalism, socialism,communism, or empowered system of democracy facing inefficiency.Reason , country didnt have a visionary leader who can take it at different horizons.Since last 15 years of librealisation, life of a comman man has become much insecure.Still we dont have clue of soild economy,Indian economy seems to bloom in terms of sensex only if there is spring at dalal street Nariman point and with sneezing of dalal street economy seems to stumble.Agriculture's contribution in economy is continuously dwarfing by Services sector.A big question remains Do we understand OUR way of growing?

Visions of Bhagat Singh would have been a treat after Independence though.
I would ask you in present scenario Whats the SOLUTION and HOW it could be realised?

Dear All and Samar Kadian ji

Good question. The India Bhagat Singh dreamt of is difficult to be built. But let us try.
On 8th April Mangal Pandey the revolutionary was hanged by the Britishers.
On the 8th April, 1929, the Viceroy's proclamation, enacting the two Bills, was to be made, despite the fact that the majority of members were opposed to it, and had rather rejected in earlier.Saheed Bhagat Singh and Bakuteshwar Dutt threw Bombs in The Assembly( Present Lok Sabha-Seat No 71 and 72 Bhagat singh and Bakuteshwar Dutt were sitting on them).
On 8th April
THE HINDUSTAN SOCIALIST REPUBLICAN ARMY (NOTICE)
It takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear, with these immortal words uttered on a similar occasion by Valiant, a French anarchist martyr, do we strongly justify this action of ours.
Without repeating the humiliating history of the past ten years of the working of the reforms (Montague-Chelmsford Reforms) and without mentioning the insults hurled at the Indian nation through this House-the so-called Indian Parliament-we want to point out that, while the people expecting some more crumbs of reforms from the Simon Commission, and are ever quarreling over the distribution of the expected bones, the Government is thrusting upon us new repressive measures like the Public Safety and the Trade Disputes Bill, while reserving the Press Sedition Bill for the next session. The indiscriminate arrests of labour leaders working in the open field clearly indicate whither the wind blows.
In these extremely provocative circumstances, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, in all seriousness, realizing their full responsibility, had decided and ordered its army to do this particular action, so that a stop be put to this humiliating farce and to let the alien bureaucratic exploiters do what they wish, but they must be made to come before the public eve in their naked form.
Let the representatives of the people return to their constituencies and prepare the masses for the coming revolution, and let the Government know that while protesting against the Public Safety and Trade Disputes Bills and the callous murder of Lala Lajpat Rai, on behalf of the helpless Indian masses, we want to emphasize the lesson often repeated by history, that it is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived. Bourbons and Czars fell. While the revaluation marched ahead triumphantly.
We are sorry to admit that we who attach so great a sanctity to human life, who dream of a glorious future, when man will be enjoying perfect peace and full liberty, have been forced to shed human blood. But the sacrifice of individuals at the altar of the 'Great Revolution' that will bring freedom to all, rendering the exploitation of man by man impossible, is inevitable.
"Long Live the Revolution."
Signed,
Balraj [C]
Commander-in-Chief
