This stirring of the nation was also their sole objective, irrespective of the halo of socialism added to it later on Bhagat Singh's importance lies in the fact that he represented the character andtemper of the revolutionaries of his times. He was both an activist and a thinker. Hisideas are no less important than his death as a martyr. Bhagat Singh's family background, his schooling, his contacts with the revolutionaries in India and his study of the writings of the Europeanrevolutionaries, all had their

share in the making of Bhagat Singh as a revolutionary. He was not a terrorist by belief. He considered terrorism useful under extreme circumstances and was neutral in his choice of means to achieve a noble purpose. Bhagat Singh considered the British Rule in India as immoral, unjustifiable and wicked. He wanted an uncompromising struggle for freedom. But freedom of the country was only the first step to wider freedom for the majority of people-workers and peasants. Their exploitation he wanted to see ended. This was to be his ultimategoal.Hk considered the national movement Congress as confused in its goal and desirous of protecting the interests of the bourgeoisie. He openly criticized the Gandhianmethods and policies. He was critical of the promotion of a personality cult. Criticism and independent thinking were essential pre-requisites of a revolutionary.

He was much influenced by the Russian revolutionaryexperiment and considered it a model for India's future development Market himself:The last few words spoken by him Dil se niklegi, na mar kar bhi, watan ki ulfat, meri mitti se bhi khushboo-e-watan aayegi (Even after my death my love for my motherland will not diminish from my heart. Even my ashes will smell of your (motherlands) greatness and love). 1. Bringing out a newspaper, besides notices and pamphlets, so as to put across to the people the ideas and activities of the revolutionaries. 2. He was fond of singing patriotic songs and also took part in the college dramatics club, which was soon banned by the government. 3. Walks the talk: -their fearless defiance in British jails and before British courts. 4. Slogans :- http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bhagat_Singh 5. Use of poetic language to criticize Lajpat Rai 6. The earliest method of spreading information was by publishing pamphlets that were ideological, polemical and/or rhetorical. Since these would have only a limited audience, a better way of garnering popular support was by courting arrest and then carrying on propaganda daring the trial. Once inside there was also the possibility of fomenting an agitation amongst the native policemen. When Bhagat Singh was first arrested in the Dussehra bomb case, a photograph of him was taken. This photograph immortalised the image of Bhagat Singh in jail sitting on a cot, his feet crossed, handcuffed, head tilted, a smile on his face. 7. The nature of colonial oppression implied an infringement of the rights of prisoners, especially political prisoners, and here arose another opportunity of confrontation with the British regime. The development of the Press ensured that any confrontation would be reported to the public. 8. Finally, there was the ultimate sacrifice, death was a powerful symbol and it was hoped that martyrdom would inspire young people to join the revolutionary movement and prevent it from being appropriated by the mainstream national movement. 9. Injustice should not be tolerated:-In his last message on March 3, 1931, he declared that the struggle in India would continue so long as "a handful of exploiters go on exploiting the labour of the common people for their own ends. It matters little whether these exploiters are purely British capitalists, or British and Indians in alliance, or even purely Indians". In imbuing the revolutionary nationalist movement with a socialist outlook, Bhagat Singh made a vital and crucial contribution towards the future struggle of all the exploited.

10. We have been taken to task for our terroristic policy. Our answer is that terrorism is never the object of revolutionaries, nor do they believe that terrorism alone can bring independence. No doubt the revolutionaries think, and rightly, that it is only by resorting to terrorism alone that that they can find a most effective means of retaliation. The British government exists, because the Britishers have been successful in terrorizing the whole of India. How are we to meet this official terrorism? Only counter-terrorism on the part of revolutionaries can checkmate effectively this bureaucratic bullying. 11. The philosophy of bomb: - We take this opportunity to appeal to our countrymen to the youth, to the workers and peasants, to the revolutionary intelligentsia to come forward and join us in carrying aloft the banner of freedom. Let us establish a new order of society in which political and economic exploitation will be impossibilityThere is no crime that Britain has not committed in India. Deliberate misrule has reduced us to paupers, has bled us white. As a race and a people we stand dishonored and outraged. Do people still expect us to forget and to forgive? We shall have our revenge a peoples righteous revenge on the tyrant. Let the cowards fall back and cringe for compromise and peace. We ask for no mercy and we give no quarter. Ours is a war to the end to Victory or Death. Long Live Revolution! Bhagat Singh would put forth the views of the revolutionaries before the court and the country most effectively, and the presence of Batukeshwar Dutt would stress the All-India character of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association ( HSRA ) 12. Deep feeling of sympathy, solidarity and oneness among the people. Bhagat Singh and his comrades became part of the peoples consciousness, the symbol of their aspirations and prestige, the symbol of the fight to put an end to enslavement. . . .

HR 1. Had set guidelines of what kind of people he needed: -He wanted a party comprising the discipline, hardworking, dedicated anduncompromising young men. 2. The Naujawan Bharat Sabha ( NBS ) was open to any man and woman between the age of 18 and 35 years old who accepted its aims and objects. These were to establish a complete independent Republic of labourers and peasants throughout India. The organisation was divided into the following: The Naujawan Bharat Sabha Conference; the Naujawan Bharat Sabha, Punjab; the NBS according to districts; according to tehsils and police stations; and the reception committee of the NBS. A central body was created in 1928. Within a year branches were opened in different parts of the Punjab and even in Peshawar. The best indication of the organisational ability of the leadership of such a party is its strategy and the attempts to deal with a lack of funds, arms and manpower. The first prerequisite of any party that has vowed to use violence to change the existing social and political order, is to build a close-knit unit that can take leadership decisions and prevent espionage and infiltration. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Bhagwaticharan Vobra, Kedarnath Sehgal and Chandra Shekhar Azad formed the nucleus of the leadership 3. Bhagat Singh and his colleagues delivered inspiring lectures on the lives of revolutionary martyrs in NBS meetings, the aim being to rouse the youth against British imperialism.. In June 1928, Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev also organized the Lahore Students Union, as an auxiliary of the NBS. Both organizations served as a recruiting ground for the HSRA which was to be formed later 4. That the principle of collective leadership should be strictly observed the party was 'recognised with a central committee and with provincial and district committees under it. All decisions were to be taken in these committees, majority decisions were to be binding on all'

5. Training new recruits in Marxist ideology and using arms and ammunition Finance For funds we should lay our hands on government money and avoid actions on private houses

Management lessons 1. Passion: -At an early age, Bhagat Singh started dreaming of uprooting the British Empire. Never afraid of fighting during his childhood, he thought of growing guns in the fields, so that he could fight the British. 2. Ethics: -The bombs did not hurt anyone, but the noise they made was loud enough to wake up an enslaved Nation from a long sleep. After throwing the bombs, Bhagat Singh and his friend deliberately courted arrest by refusing to run away from the scene. During his trial, Bhagat Singh refused to employ any Defence counsel.To have nothing to do with communal bodies or other parties which disseminate communal ideas and to create the spirit of general toleration among the public considering religion as a matter of personal belief of man and to act upon the same fully. 3. Foresight: -Bhagat Singh had himself forewarned that developments were bound to occur if one form of exploitative rule was merely replaced by another. Referring to the workers and peasants, he had asked in his last testament, What difference does it make to them whether Lord Reading is the head of the Indian government or Sir Purshotamdas Thakordas? What difference for a peasant if Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru replaces Lord Irwin! That is precisely what happened at the time of the transfer of power. To some extent this is true in todays India 4. Analytic understanding of market demands: - Bhagat Singh's intervention came at a time when the masses were turning restless and were gearing up to join the struggle.In his writings, emphasis is on the exploitative and iniquitous character of these concepts and the social institutions based on them, and how religion becomes an instrument in the hands of feudal and capitalist vested interests and the ruling classes. He also touches the other side of this problem. The origins and the need of God and religion for the human beings and the society lies in their lack of scientific understanding of the nature, environment and society, and the lack of power to control their own life, society and destiny. Yet in another article Communal Riots and the Solution, we can see his analytical clarity about the causes and the solution of communal riots based on a class point of view. He does not spare Hindu, Sikh or Muslim communalists either, and the hand in glove relations of the communal political leaders and newspapers. He also draws attention to the economic causes, including deprivation, which provokes people for riots. He further links the problem of communalism with imperialism by pointing out the lack of development in India as the main reason and that so long as the British Rule, a foreign domination, continues, Indias development will remain retarded and, therefore, overthrowing the foreign rule becomes necessary to solve the problem of communalism. In his article on The problem of Untouchabiltiy (1928) he makes a scathing attack on the philosophy (karmvipak) of Hinduism, which provides a rationale to a most heinous system of untouchability and caste hierarchy20 and links the fight against untouchability to revolutionary politics, which shows a concrete understanding of the linkages of religion with caste system in India.

he understood the danger that communalism posed to Indian Society and Indian Nationalism. He considered it as big an enemy as colonialism and he also insisted that, people must free themselves from the mental bondage of religion and superstition. He approaches the problem of untouchability from the class point of view, but not in a reductionist or merely economistic manner. His understanding of the organic links of caste, class, religion, capitalism and imperialism, though in a very rudimentary form, exhibits a nonconventional, revolutionary content. 5. Values:- Bhagat Singh had participated in Gurudwara Reform movement as it mainly represented the peasants and other people who were opposed to the domination of feudal and colonial powers over and through Gurudwara. However he also withdrew himself from it when he sensed the movement assuming kind of a communal character.Bhagat Singh, who had picked up the thought of social reform and of opposing the practice of untouchability from theAryasamaji background of his grandfather, and who in the last moments of his life asked for a roti prepared by the scavenger (untouchable) in the Lahore prison (the famous Bebe ki roti), had made a significant progress in developing his thoughts about caste and untouchability. Bhagat Singhs world outlook is not rigid or ideologically regimented and is very open and scientific in its true sense. 6. Analytical understanding of past failures:- Even before Bhagat Singh and his comrades came on the stage and adopted the revolutionary path, many brave and patriotic youngsters, dissatisfied with the policies pursued by the Indian National Congress, had taken up arms and were eliminating officials found to be unduly oppressive or found guilty in the popular perception. Though these individual acts of retribution were heroic and had an element of idealism, they failed to draw in the masses. Even while providing inspiration, sacrifices made by such young men failed to galvanise the masses, as they lacked clarity of vision and were not fired by a revolutionary philosophy. Bhagat Singh also shows an objective and sympathetic attitude towards the viewpoint of the earlier revolutionaries who could not overcome the need to hold on to the religious beliefs, mysticism or irrational spiritualism. The reason was the lack of scientific grasp of the true political character of their own revolutionary work, the sacrifice and strains of keeping themselves away from kith & kin, comforts of life, temptations, and also the absence of alternative philosophical-moral worldview based on modern human universal values and revolutionary ideology like scientific socialism & Marxism, etc., This analysis was based on his own personal life experience and also on a firm Marxist understanding. 7. Vision and mission :- Apart from his exploits, it is the aims and objectives that he had set before the movement that continues to attract the youth even today. By Revolution he meant that present order of things, which was based on manifest injustice must change (its stilllathe same now too)Bhagat Singh gave a new direction to the revolutionary movement in India. He differed from his predecessors ,He was the one who had a concept of post-independence society. The immediate goal of all other parties , leaders was destruction of the British Empire but they had no inclination to work out a political alternative. Bhagat Singh, because of his thoughts, knowledge, and interest in studying gave the revolutionary movement a goal beyond the elimination of the British. This Vision and determination of purpose distinguished Sardar Bhagat Singh from other leaders of the National Movement. He emerged as the only alternative to Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, especially for the youth, Bhagat Singh endowed the revolutionary movement with three slogans: (1) Long Live Revolution, (2) Long Live Proletariat, and (3) Down with Imperialism. He very nicely summed up his entire programme through these slogans.

1. The first slogan represented the outlook -- the revolutionary movement will not stop at the achievement of freedom; it will continue till the system which permits the exploitation of man by man and of a nation by nation, is abolished and a basic change in the socio-economic structure of the society is brought about. 2. "The second slogan declared that the future belongs to the toiling millions and that the proletariat is the driving force of the revolution ........." 3. "The third slogan indicated the immediate task at hand. A slave nation cannot establish a classless society, abolish exploitation and bring about equality amongst men. For such a nation, the first and foremost task is to break the chains of imperialist domination that bind it. In other words, revolution in a slave country has to be anti-imperialist and anti-colonial." 8. Resourcefulness:- Bhagat Singh was also an insatiable reader. He utilised the Dwarkadas Library at Lahore, where he had gone for higher studies, to the maximum, devouring all available literature on socialism and the revolutionary movement. 9. Hands on approach :- since his age of 13years, he organized a group in his village, participated in non-cooperation movement by leaving school while studying in 9th Std., organized grand reception for Jatha against the stiff opposition of his relative Landlord who had joined hands with the British Officials, organized NauJawan Bharat Sabha as an open wing of the revolutionaries to do political work among the youth and the peasants and workers, and worked as its secretary, worked for Kirti Group which was formed by Ghadar revolutionaries who had returned from Moscow trained in communist theory in the Eastern University, and he also wrote for Kirti, a Punjabi Journal started by Santokh Sing and then run by Sohan Singh Josh (who later joined CPI). Bhagat Singh, while in Kanpur, was in touch with the early communists like Satyabhakta, Radha Mohan Gokulji, Shaukat Usmani. Bhagat Singh had also met Muzzafar Ahmad, one of the founders of communist movement in India, in 1924 in Lahore. 10. Networking :- There were various revolutionaries operating in India in Bengal, Utter Pradesh, Punjab and now the present Maharashtra, but were organized in different groups, Saheed Bhagat Singh achieved a reputation of revolutionary within no time and his contacts spread to other province. He maintained close contact with these revolutionary from different regions. 11. Integration of efforts towards achieving common goals :- Goal of develop common understanding, political activities and efforts were made example bombing the n central legislative assembly in a session in Delhi in April 1929 by Bhagat singh and Butkeshwar Dutt, another young revolutionaries from Bengal. It created a sensation and scares a much needed advertisement to create awakening in the Indian people so as to rise for struggle for Indian freedom. This action channelized revolutionary activities from isolated different provinces into a Concerted and common efforts towards dislodging the British government in India. 12. A true entrepreneur never rests:- Even while in prison, he struggled for the rights of prisoners and for better facilities for political prisoners. 13. Identifying areas where the organization could fail:- Secularism was, indeed, an article of faith with Bhagat Singh all his life. Bipan Chandra described it thus: More than any other contemporary leader, with the exception of Gandhiji, he understood the danger that communalism posed to Indian society and Indian nationalism. He often warned his comrades and followers that communalism was as big an enemy as colonialismReligion, said Bhagat Singh, was the private concern of a person, but it had to be fought as an enemy when it intruded into politics and took the form of communalism. Bhagat Singh also believed that people must free themselves from the mental bondage of religion and su

As for colour I would advise red as it suggests intense emotions and passion. Also Red is the colour most associated with the Soviet Union during communist reign.Marx publicised the successes of that particular revolution and favoured the use of a red star to symbolize his own brand of ideas. The Paris Commune became a prototype and their symbols enshrined for use by many others that followed. And so red is associated with communism and revolution to this day.Red is traditionally associated with socialism and communism. The oldest symbol of socialism (and, by extension, communism) is the Red Flag, which dates back to the revolutions of 1848. The colour red was chosen to represent the blood of the workers who died in the struggle against capitalism. All major socialist and communist alliances and organisations including the First, Second, and Third Internationals used red as their official colour. The association between the colour red and communism is particularly strong. Communists use red much more often and more extensively than other ideologies use their respective traditional colours.
