March 23, 1931: Martyrdom of comrade Bhagat Singh, a young communist revolutionary leader of India/Pakistan.
Singh and two comrades, Rajguru and Sukhdev, were executed by the British colonialist regime.
Born in the Punjab region of colonial India (now part of Pakistan), Singh is a legendary revolutionary role model throughout South Asia and the world. Like Che Guevara, he has become a symbol of resistance for revolutionary youth.
