About this listen

When Bhagat Singh was executed by the British after a sham trial for his involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy Case at the age of 23, he was glorified by the Indians as a martyr for his youth, his defiance and his reckless bravery. It was only many years later, after Independence in 1947, that his writings came to light. Today, it is these that set Bhagat Singh apart and reveal him as not just a hot-headed revolutionary who believed in the cult of the bomb but a widely-read intellectual inspired by the writings of Marx and Lenin, to whom the betterment of Indian society was as important as the ouster of the British. In this book, commemorating the hundredth birth anniversary of this iconic young man, Kuldip Nayar takes a close look at the man behind the martyr: his beliefs, his intellectual leanings, his dreams and his despair. He also explains why Hans Raj Vohra betrayed Bhagat Singh and his comrades and throws new light on Sukhdev, whose loyalties have been questioned by some historians.

Bhagat Singh, the great revolutionary and martyr in India's freedom fight, was very young before it all ended.. yet he was so clear in his mind, thoughts and ideology. he had read widely and took an extreme path through a clear thought process of reason and ideals. it was not pure emotions and adrenaline that drove an young man to stand in the front line against the war with British.

it was enlightening to read his various letters of pure reason and logic to Gandhi and public in general on the issues of various allegations on extremism and atheism that he faced in his short span of life.

The letters that he had written and the list of books he read are simply mind blowing.

The book was a great compilation comprising not just chronological events but had brought out the great mind of an extraordinary young man who had fought not just British but forces such as Gandhi and other communalised political movements of his time..

Bhagat Singh had done every sacrifice for a country that had let him cruelly down, while alive and after death too.

Inspiring stories about the life and struggles of bhagat singh and his comrades in the yoke of the british empire. This book is a must read for all the left wing revolution believers and specially those who considered bhagat singh a terrorist and the HSRA a mere terrorist organisation. It brings about the true unwavering spirit of the revolutionaries which often makes you wonder what is their secret to such hardcore patriotism and nationalism that makes them write their own death certificates. I am truly in awe and as always inspired by my true mentor bhagat singh and his ideals. Apart from that, the narration done by yohan chacko cudnt be any better. This book, with the collective efforts of the writer mr kuldip nayar and the perfect narration made this whole experience end with finesse. This book is actually like my own religious textbook (given that i am an agnostic) and hence i ordered a paperback version of it as well from amazon as soon as i finished this audiobook.

Long live revolution!

Brilliant account of revolutionaries so famous by names but so less known about what they actually did. Hats off to the writer for the effort to bring their stories to us.
