Of Bhagat Singh Exclusive: Legends
The popular legend runs thus: Bhagat Singh, a fiery Punjabi youth, threw a non-lethal bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly (1929) to protest repressive British laws, courted arrest, went on a historic hunger strike demanding better conditions for political prisoners, and was hanged at 23 on March 23, 1931 — three hours before the scheduled time.
Exclusive accounts from the jail wardens and fellow inmates on March 23, 1931, describe an eerie calm. Usually, executions were carried out in the morning, but the British were so terrified of public unrest that they moved the time to 7:30 PM. legends of bhagat singh exclusive
