Bhagat Singh (1907-31) was a revolutionary figure in the Indian independence struggle. After completing his graduation, he worked as a writer and editor for Punjabi and Urdu newspapers, where he passionately advocated Marxist theories. Famous for popularizing the slogan ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ or ‘Long live the revolution!’, Singh was eventually sentenced to death for the murder of a British officer.
