VO: Jasleen KaurBhagat Singh (27 September 1907 – 23 March 1931) was an Indian anti-colonial revolutionary who participated in the mistaken murder of a junior British police officer in December 1928 in what was intended to be retaliation for the death of an Indian nationalist. He later took part in a largely symbolic bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi and a hunger strike in jail, which—on the back of sympathetic coverage in Indian-owned newspapers—turned him into a household name in the Punjab region, and, after his execution at age 23, a martyr and folk hero in Northern India. Borrowing ideas from Bolshevism and anarchism, the charismatic Bhagat Singh electrified a growing militancy in India in the 1930s and prompted urgent introspection within the Indian National Congress's nonviolent, campaign for India's independenceSUPPORT US:Be our Patron:Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/boondeinpodcastSend your feedback to boondein.podcast@gmail.com FOLLOW US:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boondein.podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boondein.podcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoondeinPodcastPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/boondein/Youtube: www.youtube.com/c/boondeinpodcast/
