Bhagat Singh

March 5, 2012
Speech on Bhagat Singh.
One of the most famous Indian revolutionaries of his time, Bhagat Singh, was considered to be a freedom fighter of the Indian struggle. He was born on September 28, 1907. He was born in a Sikh family to Kishan Singh and Vidyavati in a rural district of Punjab. As growing up, he learned that his uncle Ajit Singh and his father Kishan Singh were a great freedom fighters involved in the war to India’s Independence. So understanding his Family’s situation Bhagat Singh grew up coming from a patriotic family which were really involved with India and its history. His uncle, Ajit Singh actually established India’s Patriots Association along with his partner Syed Haidar Raza. Understanding the actions of his uncle and other individuals to revolt against the British, Bhagat Singh growing up decided as a young man to help India’s cause to devoting his soul and mind to his mother land. During his childhood, Bhagat Singh was confident and bold, he was never afraid to back down from anything; his thought of the world was “growing guns on the field”, so that he could fight off the British. This phrase was his ambition and had driven him to make a change in India.

Growing up, he studied in the Dayand Anglo Vedic School in Lahore. When he was 16, he would always ask himself why Indians did not use force to withdraw their invaders. In his journey, to find rebellious ideas, he came across Sukhdev, Rajguru, and Chandrasekhar Azad, who with him formed the Hindustan Socialist Revolution Army. The aim of this new found Indian revolutionary movement was not to only make India independent, but also to create "a socialist India” unruled by the British Empire. Also, one of the main events in Bhagat Singh’s life was when he and Rajguru killed Mr. John Saunders, one of the officers of the Simon Commission because Lala Lajpat Rai was wounded.
The second primary event was when the British government was broadcasting two

    Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist, and the man credited with liberating India from British rule led a campaign of non-violent, civil disobedience that made the continued stay in the country by the British colonizers politically and morally untenable. Imprisoned by the British for fomenting unrest, Gandhi confronted the colonizers’ force of arms with the power of his ideas, and the rightness of his cause, and by his act of courageous disobedience prevailed gloriously over the British in the end. Today, India is a vibrant democracy of 1.2 billion people, free because of the disobedience of one frail, unprepossessing man, Mahatma Gandhi.…

    However, most of the sepoys were Muslims who don’t eat pork and Hindus who considers cow sacred. Therefore, British didn’t show respect to their culture, but ignored them. For this reason, sepoys refused to accept the cartridges. Then British jailed the disobeyed soldiers, but this action was improperly and led to the sepoys rebelled. Sepoy rebellion was one of the fist attempts of the Indians to rid India of foreign dominance. It led to the rise of nationalism in India and the desire for independence.

    The success of the Indian Independence movement is, by some scholars, largely attributed to efforts of Mahatma Gandhi. As stated by BBC, “Gandhi was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, and is widely considered the father of his country” (India.wikia.com). However, this revolutionary movement, a dream that had been growing since the mid nineteenth century, was the infusion of a wide spectrum of Indian political organizations, philosophies, and rebellions. For example, the events and aftermath of the Second World War posed an economic crisis and political confrontation that transformed nationalism and colonialism for many colonies, including India. Even less credit is given to the various international events that shaped the movement, as well as those involved. Regardless of the divisions in Indian nationalist efforts, both in support and against violence, they all contained one common goal: independence from Britain. Were historians correct in their proposition that India’s independence was largely attributed to Gandhi’s peaceful anti-war efforts, or were Gandhi’s strategies ultimately ineffective? If proven effective, should India’s rapid progress in independence during World War II be seen as affected most by Gandhi, or were bigger actors involved? I believe that the source of India’s successes in their 100-year struggle for independence should not be correlated with one man. Rather, by paying close attention to key events, powerful political players, critical economic changes, and motivating political factors from around the globe during this period, historians will gain a better understanding of how India’s independence movement was rapidly accelerated, and ultimately successful, during the period surrounding World War II.…

    Summary of Ghandi the Movie

    • 26 Pages

    Gandhi was a small Indian man that faced the British Empire's policies of injustice, discrimination, and colonial control without using a single punch or bullet, or in any way using violence as a weapon. The fact that he defeated the British Empire by winning Indian Independence is considered as testimony that Gandhi should be given the status of being remembered as a ‘great man’ in history. Gandhi began his work against the injustices of the British Empire when he was still a young man in South Africa. After returning to India, Gandhi had convinced himself that he must get in touch with the common people and convince them to follow him in nonviolent and non-cooperative protest against British Rule. Through marches, demonstrations, and protests, Gandhi was able to bring the attention of the world to India by displaying the atrocities of the British Empire and not reacting with violence. Although Indian Independence was Gandhi's main goal, he had a hard time accepting the idea that Hindus and Muslims did not want to live together even after India had gained independence. The road in achieving India’s Independence was a long one for Gandhi; therefore, to fully understand his struggle, it is necessary to start at the beginning…

    British leaders knew that Gandhi’s followers held him in such high esteem that they would engage in mass civil disobedience because of political and personal influence. They had no choice, over the course of many years, to negotiate with Mahatma and the Indian National Congress, which resulted in the alleviation of poverty, enshrined rights for women, status to ‘untouchables’, and of course the ultimate goal of Swaraj. However, Gandhi was persecuted, jailed numerous times; one time during which his beloved wife was also jailed and died in prison. Gandhi had many assassination attempts on his life. From June 25, 1934 until his death August 15, 1947 there were six documented attempts on his life by Hindu extremists (Mahatma Gandhi).…
