BHAGAT SINGH

I have been reading a quite of Bhagat Singh's own writings these days. There's a quite of freshness in his ideas . His views, though not much publicized ,are very potent and thought provoking. Though he speaks in marxist tones, there's a logic in his views which cannot be brushed away.
India is a divided country and unless we unite and equate all the people , getting freedom won't mean more than just transfer of power of exploitation. The greatest roadblock is posed by the religious fundamentalists who want to remain hinged to their power at the cost of the exploited. Bhagat Singh seems deeply pained by the prevailing caste system in the society which has given one class the writ to inflict innumerable hardships on the other. The first priority should be to work towards making an equitable society .
Bhagat Singh was an athiest. And he greatly explains why. He says believing in God gives us something for which we walk the noble road. The Hindus do good deeds feeling its their duty and that they would be rewarded in the next birth. The Muslims do it for an entry to Heaven. Even in the darkest hours of our life , God gives us hope and this keeps us moving on. We pray to him ,we have faith in him and hope that the bad time would pass. This , he feels, makes us weak. When we accept things as they are as the grace of God , when we do good deeds out of our own greed, when we are not strong enough to face the reality , thats a weakness of the character .
Bhagat Singh says being a non believer , he knows that once the rope gets tightened around his neck , he would die . There would be no heaven ,no rebirth ,nothing. No one would be there to reward him , there would be absolutely nothing.
Knowing all this, there is a feeling of oneness with his countrymen which is the lone reason for his struggle.
