Biography

Bhagat Singh was born on February 10, 1898 in the village of Rurki Khas to Acchar Singh. On February 18-20 of 1921, a Conference was held at Rurki Khas for the Non Cooperation Movement under the presidency of Lala Lajpat Rai in which the entire village of Rurki Khas became influenced to turn against the British government. In 1921, Bhagat Singh resigned from his Lambardar position and stopped collecting tax for the government. Because of this, the British government sentenced him to 2 years of rigorous imprisonment on February 10, 1922 under Section 110 of the Indian Penal Code. He remained in the Ambala, Montgomery, and Hoshiarpur jails. While in prison, his body was beaten, his blood was squeezed out, and his flesh was pulled with ropes. His body was later thrown out of the jail where he breathed his last. Bhagat Singh Numbardar was martyred for the country on June 20, 1923 at the age of 25 years.
