Bhagat Singh was born on 28 September 1907 in a Sikh Jat family in Punjab, in what is now Pakistan. He is best-known as an iconic figure in India's struggle for independence from British rule. By his late teens, he was a member of several revolutionary organizations and became a key leader within the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA). While part of the HRA, he advocated for violent uprising as a means to end British rule, a stance that greatly influenced the wider independence movement.

His writings and court statements became very popular among Indians and were translated into numerous languages. Singh remains a revolutionary symbol for people worldwide, particularly among Indian youth.
