Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh had shown courage to fight for independence from a young age, inspiring the people of Hindustan. He introduced his bravery by throwing bombs and distributing leaflets on empty seats of the Parliament in front of the British government.
If he had wanted to escape from there at that time, he could have escaped. There was complete security of the British there, but he did not escape, his purpose was to awaken the people of Hindustan for the independence of the country, and he stood there and continued to chant the slogans of revolution.
He was later arrested and tried for the murder of British officer John Saunders, on March 23, 1930, Sardar Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were sentenced to death by that terrorist government and they became martyrs for the country.

Faced armed against the British government whose sun did not rise. He freed the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, spreading the feeling of patriotism among the people of Hindustan, worked to liberate Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The first flag of independence was hoisted on this earth by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
Due to the sacrifices of the unsung heroes, the British had to flee.
