Biography
[edit]Bhagat Singh was born on February 10, 1898 in the village of Rurki Khas to Acchar Singh. [2] On February 18-20 of 1921, a Conference was held at Rurki Khas for the Non Cooperation Movement under the presidency of Lala Lajpat Rai in which the entire village of Rurki Khas became influenced to turn against the British government. [3] After this meeting, a committee was formed in the village in which Bhagat Singh was a member. [4] The committee in similar manner to other villages resolved to:
- Boycott British goods
- Adopt Indian clothing
- Resolve conflicts in the village
- Boycott the police and court system
- Boycott taxes
- Reduce wedding and funeral expenditures
- Socially boycott British sympathizers. [3] [5]
In 1921, Bhagat Singh resigned from his Lambardar position and along with 3 other village lambardars declared that he will not accept this position again until the nation becomes independent. [4]. He then stopped collecting tax for the government for which the British government sentenced him to 2 years of rigorous imprisonment on February 10, 1922 under Section 110 of the Indian Penal Code. He remained in the Ambala, Montgomery, and Hoshiarpur jails. [1] While in prison, his body was beaten and his blood was squeezed out. His body was later thrown out of the jail where he breathed his last. Bhagat Singh Numbardar was martyred for the country on June 20, 1923 at the age of 25 years.[6] [1] [7]
