BHAGATH SINGH |
|
|
Birth
Banga was a village in Layalpura district of Punjab province. A brave man, Sardar Kishan
Singh by name, lived there. Vidya vati was his wife. Kishan Singh's family was noted for
bravery and love of adventure. Many heroes of his family had fought to free India from the
British. Such fighters are called revolutionaries. Kishan Singh too was a
revolutionary. His younger brothers, Ajit Singh and Swaran Singh, too, had fought to drive
the British out of India. Kishan Singh, Ajit Singh and Swaran Singh had all been sent to
prison by the Government.
In those days such a revolution hadspread all over the country. People were full of
determination to win freedom. It was at such a time that Bhagat Singh was born (on
September 28, 1907). He was the third son of Sardar Kishan Singh and Vidyavati. At the
same time, Kishan Singh and the Uncle Swaran Singh were freed from the jail. It was learnt
that another uncle of his, Ajit Singh, too, would be freed. As he thus brought good
fortune to his family the child was named Bhagat Singh. 'Bhagat Singh' means 'the
fortunate'. |
