Bhagat Singh Combo (set of 2)

Author: Bhagat Singh
Cover: Paperback

Set of 2 books, includes:
1) Why I am an atheist and other works
Bhagat Singh is a name that became synonymous with revolution in India’s struggle for independence. This young boy brought about a change in the way people thought about freedom. He was well read and fought extensively for rights – his own, his comrades’ and his countrymen’s. A discussion with a friend soon turned into a matter of self-assessment for Bhagat Singh, leading to a discourse on why he chose to be an atheist. Even in the face of death at a very young age, his uncanny observation leads to his putting forth some pertinent questions. On another occasion, he was disappointed with his father’s plea in Court for his innocence and chose to write a letter to him. This book is a collection of eighteen of his valued writings from within the walls of prison and outside it, which show us the resolve in his words, and the bravery in his acts subsequently.

2) Jail Dairy of Bhagat Singh
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.
