Seeking revenge for the death of Lala Lajpat Rai at the hands of the police, Singh was involved in the assassination of British police officer John Saunders. He eluded efforts by the police to capture him. Together with Batukeshwar Dutt, he undertook a successful effort to throw two bombs and leaflets inside the Central Legislative Assembly, subsequently volunteering to surrender and be arrested. Held on this charge, he gained widespread national support when he underwent a 116 day fast in jail, demanding equal
rights for British and Indian political prisoners.During this time, sufficient evidence was brought against him for a conviction in the Saunders case, after trial by a Special Tribunal and appeal at the Privy Council in England. He was convicted and subsequently hanged for his participation in the murder, aged 23. His legacy prompted youths in India to begin fighting for Indian independence and he continues to be a youth idol in modern India, as well as the inspiration for several films. He was commemorated with a large bronze statue in the Parliament of India, as well as a range of other memorials.
1929 Assembly bomb throwing incident
To combat the rising violence in the country by the revolutionaries like Singh, the British government decided to implement the Defence of India Act 1915, which gave the police a free hand.Influenced by Auguste Vaillant, a French anarchist, who bombed the French Chamber of Deputies on 9 December 1893 Singh put forth a proposal to the HSRA to explode a bomb inside the Central Legislative Assembly, which was agreed to. Initially, it was decided that Batukeshwar Dutt and Sukhdev would carry out the bombing, while Singh would go to the USSR. However, in a subsequent meeting called by Singh, it was decided that Dutt and Singh would carry out the bombing. On 8 April 1929, Singh and Dutt threw two bombs inside the assembly from the Visitor's Gallery that filled the Hall with smoke shouting slogans of "Inquilab Zindabad!" (Hindi-Urdu: "Long Live the Revolution!") and showered leaflets stating "it takes a loud noise to make the deaf hear". There were a few who sustained minor injuries in the explosion but there were no deaths; Singh and Dutt claimed that this was deliberate on their part, a claim substantiated both by British forensics investigators who found that the bombs were not powerful enough to cause injury, and by the fact that the bombs were thrown away from people.
Hunger strike and Lahore conspiracy case
Singh was re-arrested for murdering Saunders and Chanan Singh based on substantial evidence against him, including the statements of his associates, Hans Raj Vohra and Jai Gopal.[51] His life sentence in the Assembly Bomb case was deferred till the Saunders' case was decided.[ Singh was sent to the Mianwali jail from the Delhi jail, where he witnessed discrimination between European and Indian prisoners, and led other prisoners in a hunger strike to protest this illegal discrimination.
They demanded equality in standards of food, clothing, toiletries and other hygienic necessities, as well as availability of books and a daily newspaper for the political prisoners, who they demanded should not be forced to do manual labour or any undignified work in the jail, as detailed in their letter to the Home Member on 24 June 1929.
"The first man to explicitly propagate the theory of Anarchism was Proudhon and that is why he is called the founder of Anarchism. After him a Russian, Bakunin, worked hard to spread the doctrine. He was followed by Prince Kropotkin etc."
Bahgat singh's lost words written in his diary
The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below; and not to realise truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life." — from Bhagat Singh's prison diary
