"Revolutionaries have to die, Bhagat Singh had said to him. "because the cause they represent is strengthened by sacrifice - not by an appeal in court".
It would be a calamity if I am spared. If I die, wreathed in smiles, India's mothers would wish their children to emulate Bhagat Singh and thus, number of formidable freedom fighters would increase so much that it would be impossible for the satanic powers to stop the march of revolution ...
Ma, I have no doubt that my country will be one day free. But I am afraid that the brown sahibs are going to sit in the chairs that white sahibs will vacate.
