80-million rupees has been sanctioned for restoration of Bhagat Singh’s ancestral house, school and village on 17 February 2014. The legendary freedom fighter, Bhagat Singh ancestral house, school and village are in Punjab Province in Pakistan.
A sum of 80-million rupees has been allocated for restoration of the house, school and village of the independence war hero. In part of development of the village, money will be spent in bringing in clean drinking water, which is not available in the village and to make the drainage system finer that is in bad shape at present.
• Bhagat Singh was a freedom fighter of undivided India and was born on 28 September 1907 at Bangav village of Jaranwala Tehsil in Faisalabad (the then Lyallpur) district of the Province.
• He along with two others Rajguru and Sukhdev was hanged by the British government at Shadman Chowk at the age of 23 years on 23 March 1931, which was followed by his trial for involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy Case
• In October 2012, the Government of Punjab (Pakistan side) made a decision to rechristen the Fawara Chowk to Bhaghat Singh Chowk but this plan was put on hold following the reports of the idea of renaming has pulled objections from some quarters
• Bhagat Singh was an Indian socialist and is considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement
• He is often referred as the Shaheed Bhagat Singh in the word Shaheed means martyr
• As a teenager, he studied European revolutionary activities and was attracted to anarchist and Marxist ideologies
Apart from this fund allocation for restoration work of the house, school and village of the legendary freedom fighter, a UK-based historian described the Indian Freedom fighters – Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad as terrorists during his lecture led recently, that sparked a controversy. In his lecture, on the topic Nonviolent Resistance in India during 1915-1947 at Warwick University’s professor David Hardiman said that the Terrorists groups, who predate Mahatma Gandhi were always there alongside Gandhi’s non-violent movement.
