Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged to death at 7.30 pm on March 23, 1931 in Lahore Jail
This year is Shaheed Bhagat Singh's 91st death anniversary.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were scheduled to be hanged on 24 March, but the British hanged the three sons of India a day earlier on 23 March.
India commemorates March 23rd every year as Shaheed Diwas to honour and remember the sacrifice of the three young Indian freedom fighters
During his two years in jail, Bhagat Singh used to write revolutionary articles and express his views.
Bhagat Singh wrote in one of his articles that the exploiter of laborers is his enemy, even if he is an Indian.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907 in the village of Banga in the Lyallpur district of Punjab, in present-day Pakistan.
He was arrested in May 1927 on the pretext of being involved in a bombing that had taken place in Lahore in October 1926. He was released five weeks later.
Bhagat wrote and edited Urdu and Punjabi newspapers, published in Amritsar. He also wrote for Kirti, the journal of the Kirti Kisan Party.
Bhagat Singh along with other revolutionary leaders including Rajguru, Sukhdev and Chandrashekhar Azad conspired to kill Scott to avenge Lala Lajpat Rai's death.
In April 1929, Singh along with Batukeshwar Dutt, set off two low-intensity bombs at the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi, causing no injuries to anyone.

Bhagat Singh became a symbol of India's freedom struggle, an icon for many across India even years after his martyrdom
Bhagat Singh QuoteThey may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.""Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birthright of all".
"Bombs and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas."
