Weve all grown up with tales of his heroics and bravery recounted to us. The Bhagat Singh Reader is a collection of all the material ever written by Bhagat Singh. This book puts together the thoughts of this man who was martyred at the age of twenty-three, having sparked a revolution of sorts. The book contains everything from letters to telegrams and notices written by Bhagat, articles that chalk out his revolutionary ideas, and his mails from jail to the colonial administration and judiciary.

Through his writing, we see Bhagat Singh the man and the thinker.</p><div><br></div>
