Defiance......

Very often, a time comes in the lifetime of an individual, a society or a nation when it has to undo all the learning that has been done to make way for a new idea, a new path of living. This path might not seem suitable or easy for people to tread on, but it might be the closest to victory. India also got a chance to halt and look back at all the misdoings that had been done, at all the times when action was called for and still they weren’t performed. India got a chance to undo the learning that was making her and her people slaves and to relearn the new way. It was September 28, 1907 when India got Bhagat Singh, a revolutionary who revolutionized the destiny of a nation. Today, he is reborn every minute in the form of Satyendra Dubey or Manjunath and unfortunately he is still being hanged on the alters for speaking the truth and for upholding the principles that we as a society have manufactured to provide a veil of secrecy. I know this is not news now and this is precisely the reason I am penning this, we have more of a maniac attachment with dates and anniversaries, come 15 august and the editorials will bloom about how the India dreamt of and how the present India is so contrasting, and how the ultimate sacrifice of martyrs is going down the drain. Somehow, I don’t fall into this date trap, the best news for me being the one which people have long forgotten. I came across this article by Bhagat Singh, and the title says it all. It made me excited the moment I realized that indeed this was the written word by the man himself and finally I would get a chance to peep into the most mysterious minds of the century.
