Excerpts from Bhagat Singh's last petition ...

Excerpts:
"... Let us declare that the state of war does exist and shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses and the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British Capitalist or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian. They may be carrying on their insidious exploitation through mixed or even on purely Indian bureaucratic apparatus. All these things make no difference ..."

What a great visionary he was to foresee that the exploitation of toiling masses was not going to stop with just the British leaving India and power coming into Indian Hands - when rest of India, almost in entirety, believed so.

Also, though most of you guys may not feel comfortable in accepting it, Aren't Arundhati Roys and Medha Patkars the ones furthering the cause Bhagat Singh lived for, and died for ... :(

Another quote from it is "... power is the greatest justification in this world ..." - coincidently the subject of my previous blog entry "Six Day War ... " :(

PS: http://www.shahidbhagatsingh.org/ has a lot of such material on Bhagat Singh (in case you want to visit), which I had been looking for, on the internet, but was not getting anywhere, this site included. I think recently they have updated it with all these contents.
