I will climb the gallows gladly and show to the world as to how bravely the revolutionaries can sacrifice themselves for the cause. Bhagat Singh Read Quote
Those revolutionaries who have, by chance, escaped the gallows should live and show to the world that they cannot only embrace gallows for the ideal but also bear the worst type of tortures in the dark, dingy prison cells. Bhagat Singh Read Quote
