• #55 - Bhagat Singh : A Life in Revolution

  Episode #55 : Bhagat Singh wasn’t just a freedom fighter—he was a visionary thinker who redefined the struggle for independence. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he saw revolution not just as an armed struggle but as a fight against oppression, ignorance, and injustice. Influenced by socialist and anarchist ideologies, he believed in a nation free from not just colonial rule but also from social inequality and economic exploitation. His writings and speeches reflected his deep commitment to rational thought, atheism, and the idea that true freedom required both political and intellectual liberation. In this episode, we explore Bhagat Singh’s revolutionary ideas, his vision for India, and why his thoughts remain relevant even today.00:00 - Childhood revolutionary movies & Sources08:50 - Family11:21 - Lost Work12:44 - Bhagat Singh Available Work13:16 - Early Influence & Bigger Cause 18:30 - Struggling Farmers19:57 - College & Literature Influence23:23 - Communism & Socialism 29:03 - Dreamland30:31 - Long Live Revolution32:34 - Why I am Atheist34:01 - Main Events36:19 - Shaheed Movie36:40 - Vicharvan Inqalabi38:13 - Kakori Conspiracy Case39:30 - Universal Brotherhood40:02 - Bhagat Singh on Language42:20 - Fighting Injustice44:39 - 116 Day Hunger Strike47:11 - Bhagat Singh & Pakistan48:04 - Muhammad Ali Jinnah & Use of Violence50:51 - Bhagat Singh on Mahatma Gandhi52:37 - Bunbu ichi - Pen & Sword in Accord53:18 - Misinterpretations54:45 - Bhagat Singh, Religion, God01:08:13 - Act of Attender & Trials01:13:57 - Congress Party & Bhagat Singh difference01:16:03 - Problem with Political Ideologies 01:26:00 - Bhagat Singh Lawyer Denis N.
