One of the most significant figures in India's fight for Independence was Bhagat Singh. As we commemorate Shaheed Diwas or Martyrs' Day, the day of his martyrdom, let us reflect on some of his most powerful quotes, which continue to stir hearts and minds, reminding us of the values he stood for and the ideals he fought to uphold.
"They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can Crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit."
"Bombs and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas."
"Lovers, Lunatics, and poets are made of the same stuff."
"Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking."
"Philosophy is the outcome of human weakness or limitation of Knowledge."
"Zindagi to apna Damm par hi jiyi Jati Hai...Dusro ke Kandhe par toh sirf janaje uthaye jate hai.(Life is lived on one's strength... other help is needed in funerals only."
"Man's duty is to try and endeavour, success depends upon chance and environments."
