JAIL DIARY OF BHAGAT SINGH (PB)

A portrait of man with an
acute scholarly mind and a cheerful socialist heart. Between the years 1929
in September till March 1931 when he was sent to the gallows a day before his
actual hanging date, Bhagat Singh wrote extensively. He maintained a diary
which was full of notes of daily usage, his own thoughts on freedom, poverty
and class struggle and thoughts of varied political thinkers and
intellectuals like Lenin, Marx, ummar Khayyam, morozov, Rabindranath Tagore,
trotsky, Bertrand Russell, Dostoevsky, Wordsworth, Ghalib and many others.
Through the pages of his jail diary, a real Bhagat Singh emerges—one who is
without the Hat or a gun, one who had an acute scholarly mind and a robust
socialist persona.
