Extolled for his extraordinary courage and sacrifice, Bhagat Singh is one of our most venerated freedom fighters. He is valourised for his martyrdom, and rightly so, but in the ensuing enthusiasm, most of us forget, or consciously ignore, his contributions as an intellectual and a thinker. He not only sacrificed his life, like many others did before and after him, but he also had a vision of independent India.

One of the longest Audible title I have listened so far. This title is really informative and opened the doors of some hitherto unknown stories and experiences of many notable individuals who were masters in their fields.
