Bhagat Singh was sentenced to death, as a revenge thought by the revolutionaries, Santi Ghose and Suniti Choudhury were chosen to take revenge. On 14 December 1931, both went school to the magistrate to seek permission for a swimming competition.

Just as District Magistrate Charles Geoffrey Buckland Stevens was about to read the permission letter, both Santi and Suniti shot and killed the magistrate.

Dead District Magistrate

District Magistrate died on the spot as both of them hit the target correctly. Both of them did not try to escape after killing the magistrate but were caught by the guard. Both were happy thinking that they had avenged the execution of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru.

Why Santi Ghose and Suniti Choudhury were not sentenced to death?

As both Santi and Suniti were minors, they were not executed. Both were not prosecuted but were sentenced to life imprisonment in an underground prison. Both were upset because the death sentence was not given, both wanted to be martyred like Bhagat Singh because they use to believe him as ideol.

Apart from many atrocities on both by the British in the jail, their families were also tortured by the British. Both suffered many atrocities of the British but did not spoke a single thing about the Yugantar institution.

During World War II several agreements were made between the British and the Congress. In which imprisoned politicians and revolutionaries were released. Santi Ghose and Suniti Choudhury were also released from jail during that time.

How did Santi Ghose and Suniti Choudhury spend the rest of their lives after coming out of prison?

How did Pritilata Waddedar exploded the European club?

 Hello friends, how are you all. I hope everyone are healthy and doing progress in life. Today from Indian History ,we are going to talk about Pritilata Waddedar, a women freedom fighter who

• was a teacher and was also associated with the revolutionaries.
• who had stormed the European club.
• the British were so afraid of her that even her degree was confiscated by the British.

So let's continue the article on Pritilata Waddedar.

Pritilata Waddedar

Introduction of Pritilata Waddedar?

Pritilata Wadedar was born on 5 May 1911 in Chittagong, Bengal (now Bangladesh). Her father's name was Jagabandhu Waddedar and her mother's name was Pratibhamayi. Earlier her surname was Dasgupta then changed to Waddedar. Pritilata was affectionately called Rani in the house.

Pritilata was educated at the Dr. Khastgir Government Girls' School and after that enrolled in Eden College, Dhaka. She took admission in Calcutta's Bethune College to pursue her further degree. Her meetings with Kalpana Dutta and Nalini Pal at Bethune College were also revolutionary.

After completing her college education, Pritilata came back to her village Chittagong and worked as a school teacher. She was greatly influenced by Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi as she fought till her last breath and did not fall into the hands of the British.

How did Pritilata meet the revolutionaries?

Pritilata could not bear seeing the atrocities and treatment of the British towards the people. She had decided to fight against the British.

She heard stories of revolutionary Surya Sen's heroic deeds from people. She also felt a desire to work with his organization. She was trying hard to meet Surya Sen.

With great difficulty she met Surya Sen but he did not want to include Pritilata in his organization. While Pritilata tried hard to join his organization, she was allowed to join the organization.

Which works Pritilata Waddedar and Surya Sen did together?

When Surya Sen along with his companions attacked the Britishers. At that time

• They disrupted the telephone line, telegram office and railway line
• Pritilata helped in supplying ammunition, arms etc. to revolutionaries in Jalalabad war.
• She also supported Surya Sen's plan to kill an English police officer named Craig of Chittagong.

disrupted telephone lines

It was impossible to meet Ramakrishna Vishwas but Pritilata went to meet him about 40 times. The British police never knew how many times she had visited the prisoner in jail. In this way Pritilata Wadedar and Surya Sen did many works together.

What did Pritilata Waddedar saw on the board of the European Club that she set fire to the club?

The European Club of the British was situated in Chittagong. A board with the name of the club put up outside the club "dogs and Indians not allowed". Seeing such insulting words written on the board, Pritilata felt very insulted to the Indians.

She used to talk to her friends that British insult Indians by coming to India. So she decided to teach the British a lesson. The idea was to blow up the club inside which Indians were not allowed, which in end would be a pride to India. So Pritilata set fire to the European Club to show what Indians can do to British.

How did Pritilata Waddedar got the insights about the European club?

From the day Pritilata read the derogatory words on the board of the European club, she started planning. She had sent Kalpana Dutta to spy for inside information on the club a week earlier. But Kalpana Datta was caught by the British for spying. Pritilata gained full knowledge of the club through cunning and decided to attack the club on 23 September. 

How did Pritilata Waddedar exploded the European club?

She had seven of his colleagues with her ready to storm the club. She disguised herself as a chief by wearing a turban so that no one could recognize her. It was night time around 10:30 PM and Pritilata entered the club with her friends.

Pritilata entered the club and saw that there were about 40 people in the club. She detonated the bomb near the window of the club. The bomb exploded in the club causing chaos and a fire. Some were injured in the exchange of bullets between Pritilata and the British.

Exploded British Club

An equal war was going on between the two. Thirteen Englishmen were injured and one woman was killed in the attack. Pritilata got shot in the firing and she ran out of ammunition. She was so injured that it was difficult for her to leave the club.

She made up her mind that even if she died, she would not fall into the hands of the British. So he swallowed a potassium cyanide pill she kept with her. She died instantly after swallowing the pill. Her body was found at the scene of the attack the next morning.

Conclusion:

In this article we have seen how bravely Pritilata fought against the British invaders. She chose to die like Rani Lakshmibai. She died on 23 September 1932 after taking a potassium cyanide pill.

She was just 21 years old when she died. The British were so afraid of Pritilata that they even kept her degree on hold. Her family was received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 2012 after 80 years by Calcutta University.

Colonel Simpson was the jailer of the Central Jail in Calcutta, he used to torture the prisoners very badly in the jail. Now the revolutionaries were planning to kill Colonel Simpson. Benoy Basu had earlier killed British Inspector General of Police Loman in Dhaka and kept coming to Calcutta from there.

After coming to Calcutta, Benoy joined the organization founded by Subhash Chandra Bose. Badal and Dinesh were also working in the organisation. So the work was entrusted to Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta.

How Benoy Basu, Dinesh Gupta and Badal Gupta showed revenge?

Benoy, Badal and Dinesh made all preparations to kill Colonel Simpson. They decided to kill Colonel Simpson by breaking into his office, so that the British could also know that Indians are not afraid of anyone and knows to take revenge.

In a way that no one would suspect, the three men had hidden the gun in their own way and kept it with them. Three people entered the Writers Building by sitting in a car.

Even the British guard standing below the building could not recognized them. The guard thought that an Englishman working in the office must have come to meet someone. So the guard also took the three people to enter the building.

How did Bhagat Singh made British felt insulted?

 Hello friends, how are you all. I hope everyone are healthy and doing progress in life. Today in this article of Gaurav Sangrah, we are going to talk about Bhagat Singh, a revolutionary:

• who used the slogan of Inqlab Zindabad.
• who respected Gandhiji as a leader but ignored his ideas.
• even after passing in front of British, they could not catch him.
• the British were so afraid of him that he was hanged before the appointed time.

So today let us get information about Bhagat Singh.

Bhagat Singh

Who was Bhagat Singh?

Bhagat Singh was born on 28 September 1907 in Banga village of Lyallpur district of Punjab (now Pakistan). Somewhere we find Bhagat Singh's date of birth as 27th September but it is not known whether the date is correct or not. His father's name was Kishan Singh and mother's name was Vidyavati.

As Bhagat Singh's great grandfather had a lot of land, his family was engaged in agriculture. He was educated at the Dayanand Anglo-Vaudic School, Lahore and went to the National College, Lahore.

He was influenced by nationalist teachers named Bhai Parmanand and Jaichand Vindhyaalkar from the time he was in high school. His family were already revolutionaries. His uncle was captured by the British and released on the day Bhagat Singh was born.

What did Bhagat Singh do after hearing the incident of Jallianwala Bagh massacre?

Bhagat Singh was 12 years old when the Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place. When he heard the incident of Jallianwala Bagh massacre, he directly walked from school and reached the incident site in Amritsar.

When he reached Jallianwala Bagh, he saw the blood of innocent countrymen everywhere. The water in the well was red with blood and blood splatters were also visible on the walls. Seeing all these scenes, Bhagat Singh developed more hatred towards the British.

He was so shocked by the killing of innocents that he filled a bottle of blood-stained clay and brought it home with him. He decided to teach the British a lesson at an early age.

How did Bhagat Singh join the revolutionaries?

When Bhagat Singh came to know that his marriage discussion was going on in the house, he left the house. He felt the desire to do something for the country. He had joined the Congress before but he did not agree with the ideas of the Congress so he left the Congress.

He loved to read books of revolutionaries, books like Socialism. He read more than 300 books which he used to read whenever he gets time. In 1925 he founded Navjawan Bharat Sabha. There in the meeting he met:

1. Sukhdev
2. Yashpal
3. Bhagwati Charan Vohra
4. Chandrasekhar Azad
5. Yatindranath Das

Why did Bhagat Singh boycott the Simon Commission?

In 1927 AD, Sir John Simon came to India and formed the Simon Commission. The rights and regulations of India were framed in this commission. But in this group of MPs there were only seven British members and not a single Indian.

So people boycotted the Simon Commission from across the country. The British baton-charged the protesting people.

Lala Lajpat Rai was also involved in this protest and was baton-charged on him as well. Many were injured in baton charge. Lala Lajpat Rai was so badly injured that he died within a few days.

How did Bhagat Singh Avenged the death of Lala Lajpatrai?

British officer Stoke ordered the baton charge on those who boycotted the Simon Commission. Lala Lajpatrai was killed in baton charge.

To take revenge, Bhagat Singh along with his friends planned to kill the British officer Scott. Bhagat Singh and Rajguru hid near Scott's office to kill him and waited for Scott to come out.

When he came out of the office, Rajguru had shot the Scott once and Bhagat Singh had shot the Scott thrice. Sukhdev and Chandrasekhar Azad also supported him in their escape when both of them ran away after being shooting him.

An Indian police officer came after them to catch them. Bhagat Singh did not wanted to kill him, but because he was working for an Englishman, they also killed him. 

How did Bhagat Singh made British felt insulted?

Bhagat Singh went to kill Scott but instead, John P. Sondanus was dead. After killing him, Bhagat Singh wrote on the walls that John P. Avenged the death of Lala Lajpatrai by killing Sondanus.

The British were enraged by this incident as they felt insulted. The British were looking for Bhagat Singh and his companions in a confined place in Lahore and were also keeping an eye on the passengers coming and going to the railway station.

Bhagat Singh escaping in front of British

Bhagat Singh used a trick. He disguised himself as a Sardar and boarded a train to Calcutta in front of Britishers without falling into their hands.

Why did Bhagat Singh threw bomb in the Parliament (Assembly)?

Bhagat Singh wanted to convey the message to the people. If the country wants to be freed, we will have to fight with the British, then the country will be freed soon. He wanted to bring revolution in the country.

Smoke Bomb in Parliament

To convey the message to the people, Bhagat Singh along with Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb in an empty space in the full house of Parliament in such a way that no one was harmed. They were not destroyed by the bomb, they dropped papers in the meeting saying "A blast is needed to make the deaf hear".

Only smoke came out of the bomb that was planted in Parliament. Bhagat Singh had an escape route but he didn't escaped through it and was deliberately got into the hands of the British. He was jailed and many charges were laid against him.

For what reason was Bhagat Singh hanged?

Bhagat Singh did not escape or fall into the hands of the British. Since then the British were looking for him in Lahore on the charge of murdering John P. Sondanus. When he himself was caught throwing the bomb, he was charged with several crimes and sentenced to death.

The British decided to execute Bhagat Singh, fearing that if he was released with a lenient sentence, it would burden the British. He was announced to be hanged on March 24. If Gandhiji appealed to the Viceroy to pardon the death sentence of Bhagat Singh, the sentence could have been pardoned, but Gandhiji did not do so.

How much the Britishers were afraid of Bhagat Singh?

He was scheduled to be sentenced on March 24, but the sentence was brought forward a day. Because the British were afraid that on the day of execution, the people can cause any trouble to them.

The British were so afraid of Bhagat Singh that he had to be hanged in any case. He was to be hanged on the 24th at 6 am but it was given in the evening a day before. The British executed Bhagat Singh on 23 March 1931 at 7:33 PM in Lahore Center Jail due to the fear of the people, which is usually not carried out in the evening.

Bhagat Singh was 23 years old when he was sentenced. Along with him, Rajguru and Sukhdev were also hanged. Before the hanging, the three embraced each other and held the rope around their necks.

Conclusion:

In this article we saw one of the greatest Freedom Fighter in Indian History. He had no fear of execution. Before his execution he was reading the book of "Lenin" the revolutionary.

After hanging, the body of the deceased should be given to the family members but the British did not give the body of Bhagat Singh. The body was thrown into the river Sutlej, but some people saw that the body was being thrown into the river. People took the dead body out and performed the last rites.

The more we talk about him, the less it is. So here we conclude this article. So readers, how did you like this article? What is your favorite paragraph in this article?
