When we speak of the Indian independence movement, names like Gandhi and Nehru often dominate the mainstream narrative. But in the heart of every Indian youth, there is a special, fiery corner reserved for a man who wore a felt hat, sported a sharp mustache, and walked toward the gallows with a smile.
Bhagat Singh wasn't born a rebel; he was forged by the cruelty of his time. Born in 1907 to a family of freedom fighters in Punjab, the defining moment of his life came in 1919.
The "exclusive" truth about Bhagat Singh that often gets lost in action movies is his intellect. He wasn't a "hot-headed youth" acting on impulse. He was a voracious reader.
