This is a compelling and refreshing biography of Bhagat Singh. I was so impressed by interesting trivia about Bhagat and his times thru this book.

Bhagat studied in DAV boarding school at Lahore. He knew Gayathri Mantra very well but chose to be an atheist. I was stunned by his impeccable English and his clarity of thoughts. I never knew his family of freedom fighters and his high respect for Motilal Nehru. He was acutely aware of class politics, his critique of Congress bourgeois, his concern for the working class and his demands for justice in the corrupt/biased British legal system. When he was unjustly hung by the British, he was so young and commanded high respect among his peers like Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose and MK Gandhi.

I came to look at Bhagat in a completely different light and respect after reading this book. This is a part graphic novel, part historical intro to dig deep into the excellent mind of Bhagat Singh. Highly recommend it.
