About this listen

Bhagat Singh is a name that became synonymous with revolution in India’s struggle for Independence. This young boy brought about a change in the way people thought about freedom. He was well read and fought extensively for rights – his own, his comrades’ and his countrymen’s.

A discussion with a friend soon turned into a matter of self-assessment for Bhagat Singh, leading to a discourse on why he chose to be an atheist. Even in the face of death at a very young age, his uncanny observation leads to his putting forth some pertinent questions. On another occasion, he was disappointed with his father’s plea in court for his innocence and chose to write a letter to him.

This book is a collection of 18 of his valued writings from within the walls of prison and outside it, which show us the resolve in his words, and the bravery in his acts subsequently.

fascinating

fascinating read, gives you a well rounded idea of mr. bhagat singh azad not other's impression of him but The real BS. Listening to his own writting, his words not some filtered interpretation is different and gives you much more intimate understanding of his personality, ideas and belief. Alot of it has been watered down in popular stories and cinema, so an unfiltered is refreshing, eye opening and fascinating. His views and beliefs on atheism are somewhat similar to mine, his bravery in calling out the hero worshipers and heros of then and now society is praiseworthy, his resilience in his beliefs while facing a death row and praying to ease the pain and fear makes his sacrifice lot more noble. Didn't do it for heaven he did it all for revolution, revolution that included and demands equality for all class and caste, higher ups couldn't fathom that and we are still stuck with classist and casteist society.

Long live Bhagat Singh if not by body then by the ideas.

The sacrifice of the realist man. The letters will open up your mind about many things which people does not dare to speak about.
Salute to you shri Bhagat Singh ji.
