Hello readers,
This post is especially for Indians who live physically in India, and mentally where, well only they know.
Today is a very important day for all us independent Indians. Even for those who use that independence irresponsibly. Today is the day when in the year 1907 a great son of India was born in Punjab. Today is the birth anniversary of "Shaheed" Bhagat Singh.
I will be honest and say that I myself forgot that and I am totally responsible for that. I am writing this so that if somebody reads this he/she might also remember. We celebrate birthdays of so many leaders who fought for our freedom because they are all respectable and honorable but why do we forget him.
What about this martyr who laid down his life fighting for our freedom. A freedom we proudly use and misuse at times.

I have added this link here because I feel words will fall short for any person who fought for the freedom of our country. The least we can do is remember them and try to make our country as they dreamt of it.
This wikipedia link tells us most of the things about him. We can atleast read and try to know about him and his ideals. He didn't just want freedom. He wanted that people here should live with each other and love each other.
Finally, he wanted us to be Indians and not North Indians or South Indians or Bengalis or Marathis, just a true and complete Indian.
