The 109th birth anniversary of revolutionary socialist Shaheed Bhagat Singh, an influential figure of India’s independence movement, is being observed on Wednesday, September 28. He was born to a Punjabi Sikh family in 1907.
Singh founded the Indian Nationalist Youth Organisation (Naujawan Bharat Sabha) in March 1926, and assassinated a British police officer named John Saunders in 1927 along with Indian revolutionary Shivaram Rajguru to seek revenge for the death of Lala Lajpat Rai.
Singh was sentenced to death 11 hours before the ordered time in the Lahore conspiracy case on March 23, 1931.
