"Bombs and pistols don't make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas. People get accustomed to the established order of things and tremble at the idea of change. It is this lethargic spirit that needs to be replaced by the revolutionary spirit. They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit."

Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh Sandhu was hanged by the British colonial rulers when he was just 23. The British administrators dreaded the freedom fighter trio - Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev - for their bravery. They were sentenced to death in the Lahore Conspiracy Case for killing British police officer John Saunders.
