There has been resurgence of interest among radical intellectuals and activists in the socio-political philosophy of Bhagat Singh, especially in the post-globalisation period, in the wake of threat to the humanity and democratic culture from neo-imperialist and capitalist forces causing miseries to the marginalised social segments and weaker nations. The peasants’ suicides in different parts of the country, growing economic disparity between the rich and the poor, widening gap in terms of wealth between rural and urban regions, accelerating agitations of poor and small farmers against capitalist designs of economic development which is exploitative in nature, and hegemonic military intervention of American imperialists in other countries, especially of Middle East and Central Asia, in the name of fighting ‘global terror’, necessitate revisiting anti-imperialistic and anti-capitalist radical socio-political ideology of this great immortal martyr of Indian sub-continent.
It is against this backdrop that the present book, which is an outcome of a national seminar, attempts to locate and re-examine the life, works and philosophy of Bhagat Singh. It also discusses the revolutionary contribution and vision of Bhagat Singh and their interface with other streams of Indian national movement with an objective to assess their role in winning freedom for the country, determine their significance, and initiate appropriate measures for building a truly representative democratic society in India.
The book will not only be helpful for the research scholars and academics but also inspire people, especially youth, to make genuine endeavours for transformation of Indian society into a truly egalitarian society.
