Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907. He was the third son of Sardar Kishan Singh and Vidyavati. Bhagat was a lovely child. His smile was charming. People used to say that he would become very famous. Bhagat Singh was admitted to the primary school. From his childhood he was highly interested in studies. He was ahead of the others in his class. He used to write a beautifully. He was the favorite pupil of his teachers. Very much liked by his class- mates. Bhagat Singh easily made friends with one and all. His companions were naturally his friends. But cart men and coolies, and the very men who swept the streets were also his friends. The ability to win the hearts of men grew in Bhagat Singh right from his childhood. Bhagat Singh was a village boy.
His father was afraid he would lag behind in his studies. So he engaged a teacher to teach him at home. But within two days the teacher saw how intelligent the boy was. "What can I teach this boy?. He has already learnt everything," said the teacher to Kishan Singh. He made a deep study of the lives of the revolutionaries of Ireland, Italy and Russia. The more he read, the deeper grew his belief that war alone could bring freedom. The youth of the land should be inspired to turn to revolution. The very thought of fighting for freedom should thrill the young men. So thinking, Bhagat Singh began to organize the youth. Bhagat Singh did not confine himself to the study of books. The more he learnt about revolution, the greater grew his desire to participate in it. Bhagat Singh was a fountain of zeal. His village was too small for his activities. He went to Lahore. Every day he got up at four. Then he fed the cows, removed the cow dung and cleaned the shed. Next he milked the cows and sold the milk. It was all systematic, and tidily done. Whatever he undertook Bhagat Singh did a good job. In Delhi, Chandrasekhar Azad, a young revolutionary, was introduced to Bhagat Singh. It was as if fire and wind were united. Bhagat Singh and BatukeshwarDutt stated, "If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free”. They also explained the objects of their association. Even today, the heroic spirit of Bhagat Singh is an unfailing source of inspiration to the youth of the country.
