Rare Manuscripts and Handwritten Notes by Bhagat Singh: A Legacy Reborn

The legacy of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, one of India's most revered freedom fighters, is set to take on a new dimension with the forthcoming publication of his rare manuscripts and handwritten notes. This monumental project, spearheaded by Yadvinder Singh Sandhu, the grandson of Kulbeer Singh (Bhagat Singh’s younger brother), promises to provide an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of the visionary martyr.

A Historic Compilation

For the first time, the book will present a comprehensive collection of Bhagat Singh's original thoughts and ideas, meticulously jotted down during his incarceration. The 288-page compilation will feature scanned copies of his diary notes, exactly as they were retrieved from the jail authorities by his family after his execution. This project is not just about preserving history; it is about bringing Bhagat Singh's thought process and revolutionary ideas to life for contemporary readers, especially the youth of India.

Preserving a Priceless Heritage

"The original diary and notes within, as handed out to my ancestors, have been carefully preserved and protected through all these years," remarks Yadvinder Singh Sandhu. The meticulous preservation of these documents underscores the deep respect and reverence the family holds for Bhagat Singh’s contributions. Over the decades, these precious manuscripts have been safeguarded against the ravages of time, ensuring that future generations can access and learn from them.

The Journey to Publication

Although fragments of Bhagat Singh's writings have been available in the public domain for years, they have often been scattered and incomplete. This book aims to be the first authentic and comprehensive reproduction of his diary notes, presenting them in their original handwriting. Yadvinder Singh Sandhu notes, "This probably is the first authentic and most detailed reproduction of Shaheed-e-Azam’s diary notes written in his own handwriting, which will help the youth of this nation interact directly with the thought process of the visionary martyr."
