Bhagat Singh sang gustily as he walked to the gallows. Backed by a courageous family, this twenty-three-year-old firebrand was wedded to death. A free India was his heaven and the martyrs of the freedom struggle were his gods. Using disguise and guile, persuasion and force, his life was a roller-coaster ride through an unjust system. But eventually, he awakened India and the world to the idea of liberty and brought the mighty British Raj to its knees.
This is a jewel in the crown of ACK. In short, bold strokes this book had permanently etched a saga of patriotism, valour and sacrifice that no amount of politicised history could remove. Unforgettable work. If you haven't read it yet, please rectify the mistake. Highly recommended.
