If I close my eyes and think of word Passion, There is only one face which comes to my mind and that is the immortal revolutionary Bhagat Singh.
Bhagat Singh (Punjabi: ਭਗਤ ਸਿੰਘ بھگت سنگھ, IPA: [pə̀gət̪ sɪ́ŋg]) (September 27, 1907[1] – March 23, 1931) was an Indian freedom fighter, considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. He is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh (the word shaheed means "martyr"). (Wikipedia)
He sacrificed his life at the young age of 23. The age when people worry about pimple on their faces or dress for next day in college or busy writing a poem for their beloved. He chose to worry about his country, country men and their apathy, wrote verses which of freedom and sacrifice and gave up his life for the good of his nation.Few very deep thoughts of him from his original letters/notes.
1. What is Revolution ?? : the word Revolution is used in that phrase, is the spirit, the longing for a change for the better. The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit.
2. What is Justice ?? : no one can do justice to anybody without taking his motive into consideration

3. On Death Penalty : I am the only man amongst them who is anxiously waiting for the day when I will be fortunate enough to embrace the gallows for my ideal.I will climb the gallows gladly and show to the world as to how bravely the revolutionaries can sacrifice themselves for the cause.
4. On god and traditions: Any man who stands for progress has to criticise, disbelieve and challenge every item of the old faith.
I am just amazed at the depth, passion, the fire and thinking of a 23yr old can have. He was a revolutionary people remember him for his acts of bravery I think he commands much more respect for his thoughts and ideals.
