On the one hand, crushing the people of the country like insects & on the other hand the revolutionaries who opposed it, they hanged to death, the bloodthirsty British rule was its dignity.
Uncle Swarn Singh was in the jail and due to that he was martyred, the whole family was drowned in sorrow, and the second uncle Ajit Singh was captured by the British again but he escaped from them and went out of the country so that he could burn the sparkle of freedom of his country abroad and collect Hindustanis. Dada Arjun Singh was growing old, so the responsibility of the house fell on Sardar Kishan Singh, due to this he too had to retire from the revolution and had to watch his farming fence and take care of his family.

British rulers looted the wealth, knowledge, science and education system of this country and bankrupted this country, due to this the common man, farmer and Indian people cheated themselves, oppressed, These patriots started feeling inferior as they were not tolerated by the youth, so they started a movement to awaken the self-respect of the people all over India, especially in Punjab, This movement of Bhagat Singh's father and his uncles were running, especially Sardar Ajit Singh was leading this movement and they were one of the most dangerous enemies of the British government. At the time of Bhagat Singh's birth, his father and both uncles were in jail, that was released on the same day as Bhagat Singh was born, due to which Bhagat Singh was considered very lucky in the family.
Child Bhagat Singh had been watching the British atrocities since childhood and the fire of hatred was burning in his mind towards the British. When Bhagat Singh was 8-10 years old, he started keeping full knowledge of politics, and read the lives of revolutionaries. No one could beat him in an argument, Bhagat Singh used to consider his uncle Sardar Ajit Singh and martyr Kartar Singh Sarabha as his ideal among the revolutionaries, the picture of Sarabha always remained in his pocket.

He came and filled the blood-soaked soil in the bottle that he had brought with him, he used to keep flowers every day on that soil, he started thinking "only remembering martyrs is not enough we have to follow their path ". For those students who had left their studies at the time of Non-Cooperation Movement, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sher Ai Punjab, opened a National College so that students could pursue their studies, 16-year-old Bhagat Singh also joined the National College, which was a revolutionary college.
Along with studies, he used to prepare the youth for the freedom of the country, here Bhagat Singh was introduced to the same ideology of the youth Sukhdev, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, Yashpal, Vijaykumar, and Jaigopal ( Who later proved to be the traitor) Sukhdev and Bhagwati Charan were the closest friends of Bhagat Singh.
