Every year on September 28, India pays tribute to one of its most fearless and iconic freedom fighters, Bhagat Singh, on his birth anniversary. Bhagat Singh Jayanti serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by this young revolutionary in the struggle for India's independence from British colonial rule.

Born in 1907 in Banga, Punjab, Bhagat Singh was deeply influenced by the prevailing political climate of the time. He witnessed firsthand the oppressive British rule and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, which left an indelible mark on his young mind. These early experiences sowed the seeds of patriotism and a burning desire for freedom in his heart.
