Without Fear: The Life & Trial of Bhagat Singh - Couverture souple

Without Fear: The Life & Trial Of Bhagat Singh is an intense and close look into the life and ideologies of Bhagat Singh, one of India s well known freedom fighters and revolutionaries.Bhagat Singh is one of the most revolutionary figures of the Indian freedom movement. He arrived on the Indian scene when Gandhi s concept of nonviolence was beginning to lose its steam among the Indian people. His support of violence as well as his outright defiance of the British rule completely captivated the imagination of the youth. The daring acts of the Hindustan Socialist Republican party along with the cry of Inquilab Zindabad soon become the war cry of Indian freedom movement. Bhagat Singh was executed at the age of 23 by the British for his involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy case. However, it was only many years after his death that his jail writings came into the limelight and began to be published. It is these very writings by Bhagat Singh that make him so different from other Indian revolutionaries. These writings show us that he was not just a zealous freedom fighter, but was also a learned and intellectual thinker who was inspired from the writings of Victor Hugo, Bertrand Russell, Marx and Lenin among others. His vision did not end with India gaining freedom, but with a want to establish India as a true socialist and secular country. Why did Hans Raj turn into a British approver and betray Bhagat Singh? Was Sukhdev truly loyal? Why did Bhagat Singh resort to violence despite Gandhi s condemnation? Written in an engaging manner, this book is rare portrait of a man who is both a great freedom fighter as well as a man of immense intellectual honesty.
