The biggest challenge to British Imperialism was produced by these two young boys starting on 8th April 1929 till their parting on 12 July 1930. This is how Bhagat Singh recorded this parting on his Jail Note Book

18 November 2010 Birth Centenary of Sh B K Dutta Arch revolutionar companion of Shaheed Bhagat Singh , both together challenged British Imperialism


18 Year boy who along with 21 Year Bhagat Singh Challenged British Empire - Celebrate Birth Centenary of B K Dutta
18 Nov this year mark Birth centenary of Revolutionary Batukeshvar Dutta – the 18and a half year old boy who along with 21and a half year old Bhagat Singh , appeared in Central Assembly New Delhi on 8th April 1929 with big bang to shake the British Empire to its foundation. The event marked the beginning of awakening the Indian masses for achieving freedom from not only British Rule but built a society of equal opportunity for every one irrespective of caste, creed ,region and religion. In their words " A Swaraj for 90 percent and by 90 percent".
He represents the dormant youth power of India. He was so determined that all repression of "Satanic Power of British Empire " could not make him yield , so determined they were that nothing could stop the revolutionary challenge they threw on British Imperialism , So argumentative they were that it exposed the falseness of British Empire's arguments. Three institutions crumbled before these tiny feet. The legislative, the jail system and justice system.
These young boys loved the Indian masses so much that they put themselves on the alter of sacrifice not out of romance but out of revolutionary understanding and jeal.
The arguments were started with a leaflet thrown on the floor of Central Assembly followed by well argued statement in the sessions court, which was further strengthened in High Court.
They jointly launched the longest hunger strike for elimination of discrimination in jail between political prisoners and European prisoners, and to break the suffocating environment to a creative one . The hunger strike which went for 123 days . In the mean time Martyrdom of Jatinder Nath Dass awakened the whole India so that they marched with him .This lightened the whole environment in such a way that reluctant leaders could not stop the determined resolution of " SAMPURAN SWARAJ " i.e complete Independence and establishing 26 January 1930 on ward as Sampuran Swaraj Diwas. .
The third institution of Justice too crumbled. The best argumentative documents of Indian Freedom struggle came out under joint signatures of Bhagat Singh and Dutt, At that time the Punjabi house hold name was Bhagat singh-Dutta. The folk lore is witness to it.
I call upon Chief Minister of Punjab to announce this year of 2010 -2011 as year of Youth power dedicated to BK Dutta who was the Royal Prisoner of Punjab
I also call upon the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan singh to take initiative on behalf of the Indian nation to announce the birth centenary year of B K Dutta as the year of harnessing the Youth Power for advancing Indian vision of Freedom struggle. This must come from them as a part of duty towards history of freedom struggle
But above all I call upon the youth of India not to wait for any initiative from governments leaders but to celebrate the BK Dutta Birth Centenary to harness their dormant power ,which is represented by 18 year boy Kartar Singh Sarabha to 18 year old B K Dutta further strengthened by Bhagat Singh and other youth freedom fighters. The year dedicated to self discipline , maturity to understand the underlying argument of the prevalent system and dedicate and participate in helping people in distress .

Shaheed Bhagat Singh on finer human sentiments such as love and meaning of Sacrifice

In a letter to Shaheed Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh expressed his understanding about finer human sentiments such as love and explained what sacrifice means. This was written just before going for Assembly action , dated 5th April,1929

By the way, I am say that I cannot help arguing once again my case in the matter under discussion. Again do I emphasize that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need, and that is the real sacrifice.
These things can never be hindrance in the way of man, provided he be a man. You will have the practical proof in the near future. While discussing anybody's character, you asked me one thing, whether love ever proved helpful to any man. Yes, I answer that question today.
To Mazzini it was. You must have read that after the utter failure and crushing defeat of his first rising he could no bear the misery and haunting ideas of his dead comrades. He would have gone mad or committed suicide but for one letter of a girl he loved. He would as strong as any one, nay stronger than all.
As regards the moral status of love I may say that it in itself is nothing BUT PASSION, not an animal passion but a human one, and very sweet too. Love in itself can never be an animal passion. Love always elevates the character of man. It never lowers him, provided love be love.
You can't call these girls - mad people, as we generally see in films - lovers. They always play in the hands of animals passions. The true love cannot be created. It comes of its own accord, nobody can say when. It is but natural. And I may tell you that a young man and a young girl can love each other, and with the aid of their love they can overcome the passions themselves and can maintain their purity.
I may clear one thing here; when I said that love has human weakness, I did not say it for an ordinary human being at this stage, where the people generally are. But that is most idealistic stage when man would overcome all these sentiments, the love, the hatred, and so on. When man will take reason as the sole basis of his activity. But at present it is not bad, rather good and useful to man. And moreover while rebuking the love. I rebuked the love of one individual for one, and that too in idealistic stage. And even then, man must have the strongest feelings of love which he may not confine to one individual and may make it universal. Now I think I have cleared my position. One thing I may tell you to mark; we in-spite of all radical ideas that we cherish, have not been able to do away with the over idealistic Arya Samajist conception of morality. We may talk glibly about all the radical things that can possible be conceived, but in practical life we begin to tremble at the very outset. This I will request you do away with. And may I, Without fear at all the misapprehension in my mind, request you do kindly lower the standard of your over-idealism a bit, not to be harsh to those who will live behind and will be the victims of a disease as myself ? Don't rebuke them and thus add to their woes and miseries. They need your sympathy. May I repeat that you, without bearing any sort of grudge against any particular individual, will sympathise with those who needed the most ? But you cannot realise these things unless and until you yourself fall a victim to this. But, why I am writing all this? I wanted to be frank. I have cleared my heart.
Wish you all success and happy life.

AIM OF LIFE -a page from Jail Note book


AIM OF LIFE

Aim of life is no more to control mind, but to develop it harmoniously , not to achieve salvation hereafter, but to make the best use of the here below,and not to realise truth,beauty and good only in contemplation ,but also in the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of many; and spiritual democracy or universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity in the social, political and individual life
