One of the greatest Indian freedom fighters and revolutionaries, Bhagat Singh, was born on September 28 1907. He was born in Banga village of Faisalabad district, now in Pakistan’s Punjab province. An inspiration for many, he was only 23 when he was hanged in the Lahore jail along with Shivaram Hari Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar on March 23, 1931.
At a young age, Bhagat Singh became a part of the Indian independence movement. Besides participating in movements against British rule in India, he contributed as a writer and editor for Punjabi and Urdu language newspapers.
