Thoughts of a Revolutionary

This time when I came back from home, I brought a very special book along,
"Shaheed Bhagat Singh ate ohna de sathiaN Dian likhtaN"
The writings of Martyr Bhagat Singh and his Companions.
It is such a pleasure reading this and gives an insight into the brain and the thought process of Bhagat.
I couldn't stop sharing the quotes in this post. I intend to update the same post as I read through.
To start with, I'll post some that fascinated me while skimming through.
1. MaiN sikhi di band-band katvaun di rivayat da kayal haaN, aje taaN maiN ik band katvaya hai, oh v pet layi nahiN sagoN desh layi, jaldi hi gardan v katvavaNga. Par ik Sikh di taNg nazari te taNg dili da gila zaroor rahega.
2. 'Aman kanoon' manukh vaste hai na me manukh 'aman kanoon' vaste.
3. "Meri zindagi mahan maksad bhav bharat di aazadi de asool de lekhe lag chukki hai. Is layi meri zindagi vich aaram te duniyavi khah'shaN vaste koi khich nahi hai."
-This is an extract from a letter Bhagat wrote before leaving his home in 1929. The beautiful thing is that he was only 15-16 when he wrote this. I consider this to be right next to the BheeshM pratigya of BheeshM, the son of Ganga, in the epic Mahabharat.
