Only my lungs had enough place to move as I was surrounded by this crowd, all gathered to witness a single man whom I could barely see. His voice was clear as if his throat had a microphone attached. His words felt like sharp knives piercing my heart that somehow bled through my eyes. It was cold that morning, but listening to this man warmed my soul. I woke up with that same warmth and had a feeling that I have never experienced before. I had this dream after I slept while watching a documentary on Shaheed Bhagat Singh. It made me wonder how can a man decades after his death can motivate me like never before. Maybe he didn’t die that day when the British hanged him. Maybe he continued to live in every grain of soil that he shed blood for, every word that he ever wrote and every man’s heart when they raised the slogan “Inquilab Zindabad”. We hope these 15 Bhagat Singh quotes will do the same to you, along with explaining the necessity of devotion and selfless love.
