Amar Shaheed Veer Bhagat Singh
On September 28, 1907, Veer Bhagat Singh was born in Banga village of Lyallpur district of undivided Punjab province. He was an Indian socialist revolutionary who was executed at the age of 23. Shaheed Bhagat Singh played a very important role in India's struggle for Independence, which hasn't been given appropriate consideration, some say. He was hanged in the Lahore jail along with Hari Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar on March 23, 1931.
