From bombing the central assembly in 1929 to shooting John Saunders, Bhagat Singh became the face of revolutionary freedom struggle in India. All of 23 when he was hanged. Bhagat Singh has been an inspiration for the youth in India. His legacy has also been recreated in several films and songs through the years.
