Jail Diary and Other Writings (Paperback, Singh Bhagat)

The writings collected in this book are written by Bhagat Singh on various occasions which reflect his thought and personality. These writings not only describe his political beliefs but also his views on social, religious and philosophical matters. Prompt, direct and concerned—his writings unabashedly reflect the troubles of revolutionaries, the attitude of the colonial rulers and the situation of the Indian socio-political milieu. These writings hold importance not only from a historical point of view but also hold a mirror for our present generation on various issues of contemporary importance. - From this book "He became a symbol; the act was forgotten, the symbol remained, and within few months each town and village of Punjab, and to a lesser extent in the rest of northern India, resounded with his name." -Jawaharlal Nehru "Bhagat Singh had become the symbol of the new awakening among the youths." - Subhash Chandra Bose
