Contribution of Sahid Sukhdev in the revolution in India

A brave son who dreamed of the country's independence since childhood, laughed at the age of 24 and laughed at the gallows. At the age when the youth are not completely sure about their career, at that age, Amar Shaheed Sukhdev sacrificed his life for the freedom of the country, sacrificing all attachments.

From childhood, revolutionary ideas against the atrocities of the British rule started rising in Sukhdev's mind. The only thought running in his mind was to free the country from British slavery. In 1919, when the British carried out a horrific massacre by firing indiscriminately at Jallianwala Bagh, Sukhdev was only 12 years old. After this incident, martial law was imposed in all the major areas by the British. During that time school, college students were forced to salute the British police officers. Sukhdev refused to salute the police officers, in return for which he had to eat a cane from the British officers. When the Simon Commission was brought in India, Sukhdev strongly opposed it too.

While studying at Lahore National College, Sukhdev met Bhagat Singh and Rajguru and they all became good friends. Sukhdev was greatly influenced by the great freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai. He was deeply hurt by the death of Lala Lajpat Rai during the lathi charge in Punjab, after which he along with his friends Bhagat Singh and Rajguru decided to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. He planned and executed Saunders, a police officer of the British rule, in 1928. This incident shocked the British police.

Sukhdev also made a plan to oppose the oppressive law brought by the British. Raising the slogan of Inquilab Zindabad, on April 8, 1929, Sukhdev, along with his companions Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt, distributed pamphlets and threw bombs in the Delhi Central Assembly against the oppressive laws of the British. Its purpose was not to harm anyone, but to sound the trumpet of freedom against the misrule of the British. They kept shouting slogans of 'Inquilab Zindabad' but did not run away. Sukhdev was arrested along with his companions and sentenced to death. On 23 March 1931, this hero of India, along with his companions Bhagat Singh and Rajguru, laughed and embraced the noose.
