-My name is Bhagat Singh.

-I Was Born on September 27, 1907

in Khatkar Kalan, Punjab, India

-I used to love Gandhi as a kid,

and I would do anything he said

Jalianwala Bagh Massacre

-On April 13, 1919 General Dyer banned

all public meetings that day for fear that

a revolt is being planned

-This day was also the Sikh new year

so they were having a celebration at a

park

-After he heard about this, General Dyer

ordered his men to shoot at the crowd of 20,000 people that day

-The exact death toll is disputed, but the

Indian National Congress reports it to be

1000 dead and 1500 wounded

- General Dyer said this act "was not to

disperse people, but to punish the Indians

for civil disobedience"

- The non-cooperation movement was

started by Gandhi after this event

- I was heavily engaged in the non-cooperation movement

-I burned books and British made cloths

-Gandhi called off the movement in fear that it was getting too violent

-I got of tired of backing down, so I started to become more violent

-I created the HSRA party as a result

-The police were scared about this so they purposefully set me up for a crime I never committed

-I was arrested as a result

-The HRSA party committed violent acts

-One day we planned a killing of a British officer named Saunders who we killed in broad daylight

-I then decided to cut my hair and get rid of my turban to hide my identity

-We then decided to throw a grenade at the British Assembly Hall on purpose to fight the battle within the government

-In court, I prolonged the trial to spread

propaganda for the natives to rebel

-I refused to eat food for 55 days until I

got better living standards in jail

-I was ordered to be executed

on March 23, 1931

-I was only 23 years old

-I walked down to my execution

smiling that I had a chance to die

for my country

-Many believe Gandhi did not try

his best to save Bhagat

-People at his execution chanted

down with Gandhism and long live

Bhagat Singh

Conclusion

-Many people fail to recognize Bhagat, but he played a very important part in India's independence

-People call him India's first Marxist because of his views on equality, and his call for India to become Socialist

-Bhagat wrote a diary in jail and also a small piece of writing called "Why I am an Atheist."

-During the time of his execution, Bhagat had as much followers as Gandhi in the nation.
