Relevance of Bhagat Singh in Modern Era

Bhagat Singh inherited the legacy of patriotism and sacrifice from his family. He was an advocate of equalitarian society where there is no exploitation and discrimination on any ground. He was against the discrimination of a man from man on the basis of caste, creed and religion. He was against the taboo of untouchability. Though, Bhagat Singh was quite conscious about role of religion in public life but he was totally against the use of religion in politics. In present time the religion and caste are being used as the weapon in politics to gain political power and government policies are being framed for the benefit of the capitalists. In present scenario the struggle against casteism, communalism, imperialism and economic inequalities is more complex but it is more urgent than it was during the Bhagat Singh’s time.
