On this day, 28 September 1907, socialist revolutionary and anti-colonialist Bhagat Singh was born in India. He assassinated a British police officer, and bombed the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi. An advocate of a mass working class uprising, he criticised Gandhi for the latter’s fear of the working class. He was executed by the British in 1931, and became a popular folk hero after his death.
