Sep 28: The man who shook the British crown was born 114 years ago today.

His slogan 'Inquilab Zindabad' is an anti-national word today. Bhagat Singh once beautifully explained the meaning of Inquilab Zindabad to a journalist.

A #Thread on his quotes about Caste & Religion. Image
Bhagat Singh explains the meaning he tried to convey by the phrase 'Inquilab Zindabad' to the editor of the Modern Review.

- The Tribune (December 24, 1929)

Below are the quotes from 'Why I am an Atheist' Image
"You, the Hindus, Let me say it plainly that your ancestors were shrewd people. They were always in search of petty hoaxes to play upon people and snatch from them the power of Reason."

- Bhagat Singh (Why I am an Atheist)

Bhagat Singh was very vocal against Brahmanism.
"What is your view about punishments inflicted on the people who were deliberately kept ignorant by selfish and proud Brahmans?

If by chance these poor creatures heard a few words of your sacred books, Vedas, these Brahmans poured melted lead into their ears."

- Bhagat Singh.
"What, according to your theory, is the fate of a person who, by no sin of his own, has been born into a family of low caste people? He is poor so he cannot go to school. It is his fate to be shunned and hated by those who are born into a high caste."

- Bhagat Singh
"Why doesn't your God infuse humanistic sentiments into the minds of the Britishers so that they may willingly leave India? Where is your God? What is He doing? Is He getting a diseased pleasure out of it? A Nero! A Genghis Khan! Down with Him!"

- Bhagat Singh.
Bhagat Singh was planning to bring a mass uprising in the Indian society along lines of the October revolution which happened in Russia.

Naujawan Bharat Sabha (NBS) was a left-wing association founded by Bhagat Singh. Mahavir Singh (died in Andaman Jail) was a member of NBS. Image
The British Press called Bhagat Singh the Red Terror. On January 21st 1930, in the Lahore Conspiracy Case, he appeared in the court wearing red scarves. He was reading Lenin's biography during his last hours. Image
April 1929 : A 22 year old Marxist and Rationalist, possessing communist literature, threw bombs over the empty seats in the Central Assembly and stayed there to get arrested, so that the court case became a stage to voice his cause.

Imagine if Bhagat Singh had been alive today.
Today, everyone wants the legacy of Bhagat Singh but no one wants to read 'Why I am an Atheist'. No one wants to follow his Leftist principles.

A reminder that “585 Indian revolutionaries” were jailed in Andaman's Cellular Jail by the British between 1909 - 1938.

173 Indian revolutionaries died in this dreaded Jail and 99.7 % of them never wrote any mercy petitions.
81% revolutionaries (493 Indians) in Cellular Jail were from Bengal Presidency & Punjab Province.

Legends like Sushil Das Gupta, Trailokyanath Chakravarty, Batukeshwar Dutt, Ganesh Ghosh and Ambika Chakrabarty spent 8-13 years in this jail and they never wrote mercy petitions. Image
Mahavir Singh, Mohit Moitra & Mohan Kishore Namadas and many more died in Andaman's Cellular Jail during their Hunger strike.

Mahavir Singh was tortured and killed by the Brits when he refused to break his hunger strike. He was a member of HSRA & a close friend of Bhagat Singh. Image

“Godse killed Gandhi because of the Partition” is a LIE repeatedly told over the last few decades.

FACT: Godse tried to assassinate Gandhi twice in 1944, 03 years before partition. In July 1944, Godse was overpowered at Panchgani when he rushed towards Gandhi with a knife.

The main aim of “One Nation, One Election” is to kill Federalism and regional Parties.

If elections are held together, regional & local issues will be brushed under the carpet & regional parties will lose influence.

The move only benefits BJP and RSS, and Hindi imposition. 1/5
What's my source?

A data-based analysis by Praveen Chakravarty points to the fact that when Union and state elections were held simultaneously, between 1999 and 2014, there was a 77% chance that voters choose the same political party.

2/5
“One Nation, One Election” would favour larger national parties than regional/smaller parties and it would destroy India’s cherished multi-party system.

The absence of regional parties will mean that regional concerns are left without a voice at the decision-making table. 3/5

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine."

Today, 14th June, marks what would have been Ernesto "Che" Guevara's 95th Birthday.

Che Guevara's legacy lives on in the fight against injustice and imperialism across the world. ImageImageImageImage
In Jan 1952, a 24 year old Che Guevara (a doctor from a privileged family) travelled across Latin America on a motorcycle and his life changed when he met the Indigenous population of Peru.

He then left his job, family and his love and went to Gautemala in 1953. Image
In Peru, Che & Alberto saw the wretched poverty endured by indigenous people, who were treated as second-class citizens.

“These people who watch us walk through the streets of the town are a defeated race,” Che wrote. Image
