1-minute Speech on Bhagat Singh
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning! Today, I feel privileged to deliver a speech on a great martyr and valiant hero of our nation, Bhagat Singh. He is a symbol of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice. His fierce spirit and unyielding courage inspire us even today.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907, in a Sikh family in Punjab, who were actively involved in the struggle for Indian Independence. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 deeply impacted him, igniting a spark of patriotism in his heart at a tender age.
In his youth, Bhagat Singh was drawn towards the revolutionary activities against the British rule. He joined the National College in Lahore where he came into contact with revolutionaries such as Bhagwati Charan, Sukhdev, and others. Together, they formed the Naujawan Bharat Sabha to instill a spirit of patriotism among the youth.
His act of throwing a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi was a significant event in the history of Indian independence. Though the act was non-violent, it was a strong message to the British government against their repressive policies. Later, Bhagat Singh and his comrades were arrested and faced trial in the Lahore Conspiracy Case.
On March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh along with his friends Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged. Their execution spurred the nation towards the final struggle for independence.
In conclusion, Bhagat Singh is not just a name, but he epitomizes the highest form of patriotism. His courage, dedication, and sacrifice for the nation will always be remembered and cherished. Let us pay our heartfelt tributes to this great son of India and pledge to uphold the values he stood for.
Thank you.

2-minute Speech on Bhagat Singh
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I am honored to be here, to pay homage to one of the greatest sons our nation has ever had, Bhagat Singh. He was not just a freedom fighter, but a revolutionary who devoted his life to the cause of India’s independence from British rule.
Bhagat Singh was born on September 27, 1907, in the village of Banga in Lyallpur district of the Punjab Province of British India. His family was politically active and had a significant influence on him. From a very young age, Singh was deeply affected by the injustices and exploitation that were rampant under British rule. His sensitivity towards the social and political issues of the time led him to lean towards radical philosophies and activities, which later defined him as a person.
Bhagat Singh’s journey into the freedom struggle began in earnest when he was just a teenager. In 1928, he co-founded the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. The objective was clear: to attain independence through a revolution. He believed that the nonviolence approach was not enough to shake the strong British rule in India.
Singh’s courage and fearlessness were evident in his acts. His assassination of British police officer Saunders in 1928 as a revenge for Lala Lajpat Rai’s death, and the dramatic bomb-throwing incident in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi in 1929, were not acts of terrorism, as portrayed by the British, but demonstrations of a strong, defiant stand against tyranny. His intention was never to kill but to make the deaf hear.
Even during his trial, Bhagat Singh used the courtroom as a venue to propagate his ideas of freedom and revolution. He and his comrades turned their defense into an indictment of the British Raj, its unjust laws and its oppressive regime.
But perhaps what affected India most was not Singh’s acts of rebellion, but his supreme sacrifice. He was executed at a young age of 23, on March 23, 1931. The fearless courage with which he walked to the gallows, his head held high, has become an indelible part of our national consciousness. He embraced death with the cry of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ – ‘Long live the revolution’.
Bhagat Singh was not just a man, but an idea, a symbol of resistance, courage, and the undying spirit of freedom. His life story continues to inspire millions of Indians and instills in them a sense of pride and respect for the brave hearts who fought for our freedom.
In conclusion, let us not remember Bhagat Singh as a martyr who died for the country, but as a dynamic youth who lived for the country and its freedom. His life, his beliefs, and his courage are lessons that resonate even today, reminding us to stand up against injustice, to raise our voice, and to never bow down before tyranny.
Let us remember and draw inspiration from the spirit of Bhagat Singh and strive to keep that spirit alive in our lives and actions. Jai Hind!
