At the age of 23, if anyone was smiling just before he was being hanged to death, it was Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Do you know why he was smiling ? He acheived his aim. His only mission in life was to see his country free from British rule. On 23 March 1931, Bhagat Singh was hanged in Lahore
From Bhagat Singh's prison diary :
"The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below; and not to realise truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life."
"Inquilab Zindabad" (Long live the revolution)
