The Trio of Revolutionaries: Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev.
A young Sikh whose date of birth was September 28,1907, could see the nefariousness of the British rule, especially after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Those events prompted him to join HSRA, and what he did from there in the cause of freedom is well-known to all.
The boy belonged to Maharashtra-Shivaram Rajguru. He was an expert shooter and a devoted patriot in the struggle for India's liberation. Sukhdev Thapar, from Punjab, was an important figure in organizing revolutionary activities and was a close companion of Bhagat Singh.
The Lahore Conspiracy Case and Martyrdom
The trio, in an act of extraordinary audacity against the oppression of British colonial laws, decided to take revenge for the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, who was killed after he was badly beaten up by the police during a demonstration against British rule. Theirs was a plan to kill J.P. Saunders, a British police officer, in 1928. They were arrested and charged in the Lahore Conspiracy Case. Though there were widespread appeals and protests against it.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev had been sentenced to death. They went to the gallows on March 23, 1931, chanting "Inquilab Zindabad" (Long live the revolution).
