LATER REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES 

Lala Lajpat Rai's Death and the Saunders Murder

Lala Lajpat Rai's Death and the Saunders Murder The British government created a commission under Sir John Simon to report on the current political situation in India in 1928. The Indian political parties boycotted the commission because it did not include a single Indian as its member and it was met with protests all over the country. When the commission visited Lahore on October 30, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai led the protest against the commission in a silent nonviolent march, but the police responded with violence. The police chief beat Lala Lajpat Rai severely and he later succumbed to his injuries. Bhagat Singh, who was an eyewitness to this event, vowed to take revenge. 

He joined with other revolutionaries, Shivaram Rajguru, Jai Gopal and Sukhdev Thapar, in a plot to kill the police chief. Jai Gopal was supposed to identify the chief and signal for Singh to shoot. However, in a case of mistaken identity, Gopal signalled Singh on the appearance of J. P. Saunders, a Deputy Superintendent of Police. Thus, Saunders, instead of Scott, was shot. Bhagat Singh quickly left Lahore to escape the police. To avoid recognition, he shaved his beard and cut his hair, a violation of one of the sacred tenets of Sikhism.

Bomb in the Assembly 

 In the face of actions by the revolutionaries, the British government enacted the Defence of India Act to give more power to the police. The purpose of the Act was to combat revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh. The Act was defeated in the council by one vote. However, the Act was then passed under the ordinance that claimed that it was in the best interest of the public.
 In response to this act, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association planned to explode a bomb in the assembly where the ordinance was going to be passed. Originally, Azad attempted to stop Bhagat Singh from carrying out the bombing; however, the remainder of the party forced him to succumb to Singh's wishes. It was decided that Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt, another revolutionary, would throw the bomb in the assembly. 
On April 8, 1929, Singh and Dutt threw a bomb onto the corridors of the assembly and shouted "Inquilab Zindabad!" ("Long Live the Revolution!"). This was followed by a shower of leaflets stating that it takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear. The bomb neither killed nor injured anyone; Singh and Dutt claimed that this was deliberate on their part, a claim substantiated both by British forensics investigators who found that the bomb was not powerful enough to cause injury, and by the fact that the bomb was thrown away from people. Singh and Dutt gave themselves up for arrest after the bomb. He and Dutt were sentenced to 'Transportation for Life' for the bombing on June 12, 1929.

Bhagat Singh in English Chapter 4 final part

Very lucky to die ...... Rajguru was so quick to die that he used to say that once I die for the country then I will sleep comfortably. When the boy had to choose a boy to carry the bomb, then Rajguru would be the front. Rajguru- I will go with Bhagat. Pandit ji will be pressed there ..... I have to speak English. Rajguru - I will remember the Bhagat who will speak. Panditji speaking most - why is it so early to die? Rajguru - Once I die for the country and I will sleep comfortably. Pandit ji - everything has all gone. One last episode of Rajguru ........ When all were caught by the police, Rajguru was saved. Then Panditji said that you have survived, now go straight to Pune and do not talk to anybody that you killed sandres. .... Now Rajguru was so boobed ......... so what did he tell everyone what he had done that I had to kill the sandres and could see his gun together. One day went to see the hockey match and got caught there and when he came to the court he used

Bhagat Singh in English Chapter 5

Friends ....... today will talk about some of Bhagat Singh's things which are rarely received in the hearing and few people are known and told. This may also happen that some of you may have heard it. Hopefully you will like these revolutionaries as always. Bhagat Singh 5 feet 10 inches length is hardly known to anyone ...... white color ...... light bearded shouldache and turban together. The brain was so intense that what was going to happen ahead of time would have already been known ....... read about politics and almost all the revolutionaries. Strongly influenced by the Russian Revolution and also greatly influenced by Lenin's methods, a boy who went forward and became the biggest revolutionary in Indian history. There will hardly be any such book and any revolutionary about which Bhagat has not read ... There are many things about Bhagat Singh that many people of us probably will not know. One of them wants to hear you in an anecdote ... and it was Rajguru himself w
