Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna: An Eternal Revolutionary • Bhindranpal
======================================
Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna has been a name in the war of liberation of the country, which he lived a revolutionary life for as long as the last particle of soul was exhausted in the body. Until the twilight of life, this young Baba remained a symbol of revolution and still is today. Their youthful confidence and enthusiasm for the good future of the country remained steadfast until the end. Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna has been and is one of the Shiromani revolutionaries and the epitome of the revolutionary movement.
Baba Ji was born in the village of Bhakna, ten miles west of Amritsar, in the month of May 1870, to Ram Kaur, the father of Karam Singh. At the age of 38, on February 3, 1909, he dreamed of improving the economic condition of the home and set sail for America. Worked in a wood factory in Portland. After working for three years in a wooden factory, he saw the conditions of slavery in the country and shook the bone, which Baba Dhakna also wrote in the forthcoming works 'Jeevan Sangram' and 'My Ram Story'. Even before going abroad, Baba Ji was familiar with the magazines of Shaheed Bhagat Singh's uncle Ajit Singh running the turban.
Along with his comrades, the attempt to woo the English slavery and the need for an organization was resolutely felt and in March 1913 the Ghadar Party (Hindi Association of the Pacific Coast) was founded to liberate India. Proved to be a milestone. Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna was appointed the first president of the Ghadar Party; Kesar Singh Bhaggar was made the Vice President, Lala Hardyal the General Secretary and Kashi Ram the Treasurer. The Ghadar Party was the party which, like the Congress, set the goal of complete independence, rather than the participation of the British in the government. Instead of begging the British, armed rebellion was waged. Young people of the country urged the Aijis to break the chains of slavery. Unlike the small revolutionary groups seeking independence from the British in India, the Gadar Party had a clear draft of a parliamentary democratic structure. Although today the program is irrelevant, when the people of the country were subjected to plunder by the colonial monarchy with an alliance of empires and feudal lords, setting such a program was one of the major bridges in India's independence movement. . This movement provided a huge public outcry for the liberation war by spreading it out of the narrow enclosures of militant student-youth and revolutionary intellectuals in the colleges. For the first time, the Indian Ojies were prepared to fight and rebel for the country's independence. The Ghadar party declared religion a personal matter. Party members were free to believe in any religion or even to believe in any religion. It was for these reasons that the Gadar Party became such a great and strong party that it shook the throes of the British rule and became a source of inspiration and guidance for the later revolutionaries, including Bhagat Singh. The Ghadar Party existed only because of the efforts of Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna. Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna also had a special contribution in the Ghadr newspaper which came out on 1st November 1913. After the establishment of the party, Baba ji gave up his leave for full organizational activities.
Baba ji's attitude toward
s the liberation of humanity continues to be the path of the revolutionaries even today. While living abroad, Baba Dhakane devoted all the real estate, with all the hard work, all the earnings to the party. Even when the Ghadar party devised a plan to connect the revolutionaries of India with other countries, Baba Bhakna had a special role. Baba ji returned to Calcutta on 14 October 1914 after the Komagatamaru ship was attacked and, with the tidings of traitors like Kirpal Singh, the consuls of their rebellious intentions were taken over by the British, which brought them to war with them. . By the end of 1914, news of the revolutionary Ghadar Party's efforts had already reached the British Empire. As a result, the Ghadr uprising on 21 February 1915 was crushed badly by the British Government. Under the same rule, the British government launched a Lahore conspiracy case on 64 revolutionaries, in which 24 revolutionary horses were executed. The revolutionaries who were sentenced to death included Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna, Kartar Singh Sarabha and other Ghadris. On the execution day, the death sentence of 17 revolutionaries was changed to life imprisonment, which also included the name of Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna. On December 10, 1915, Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna was taken to the Andaman jail where eight persons, including Ghadri Baba Ram Rakha, Baba Ji's companion, were killed in hunger strikes. They were then transferred to the Madras Jail along with their accomplices. Later, he was imprisoned in Lahore for three years after spending five years in the Yarwada jail. He met Shahid Azam Bhagat Singh while in Lahore jail. When Bhagat Singh and his colleagues staged a hunger strike in the jail against discrimination against the prisoners, when the news reached Baba Bhakna, they too staged a hunger strike. Bhagat Singh told Baba Bhakna when he said, "You have already suffered a lot. Do not strike hunger strike. ”Then, responding to Siddak, Surma Baba said,“ How can my bread pass when my young son is on a hunger strike? ”Finally, in July 1930, Baba Ji was released at the age of sixty. Given.
But even after that, the courage, zeal and courage of the youth of Surma Baba remained as it was and the fight against the English rule continued without stopping. After being released from life imprisonment when Baba ji had reached the age of 73, Baba ji spent nine of his next 13 years in jail. Subsequently, in 1940, he also assumed the responsibility of acting president of the All India Farmers' Assembly. For the last time of his life, Baba Bhakna lived a revolutionary life. Their anxieties were always engaged in the rebellion against the ice of plunder, oppression and slavery. That is why it would not be an exaggeration to say that Ghadri Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna was an eternal revolutionary and even today his life, the ideology, stands as a source of light for those who are fighting against plundering snow.
A tribute to the 150th (1870 to 2020) birth anniversary of Ghadar Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna, the founder of the Ghadar Party, must be formal for us, not the formal capital and imperial loot, against the oppressors, their high hopes. Should be guided by efforts. Even though Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna left us on December 20, 1968, his words (below) still keep us open in Fiji, challenging us. Baba Bhakna is the source of energy for the next generation of the revolutionary movement.
“Young men! Get up!
The era is changing,
Fulfill your duty,
All kinds of slavery, whether economic, political,
And what a social, hang out bar!
Humanity is the true religion!
Hey guys !! "
