Hello IF-ians!
On March 23rd, 1931, a couragous freedom fighter of India gave up his life for India's Independance. This freedom fighter was non other than Shaheed Bhagat Singh Ji.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh fasted for 63 days while being in jail. He was in jail because he was demanding equal rights for Indian and British political prisoners. He was later hung for shooting a police officer who had killed a veteran social activist, Lala Lajpat Rai. This encouraged many to speak up for their rights.
There have been multiple movies made of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Ji. For example The Legend of Bhagat Singh -- Starring Ajay Devgan and another movie on Bhagat Singh Ji has been made with Bobby Deol.
Today, we all salute him for taking such a great step in helping India get it's independance.
