Shaheed Sukhdev

Sukhdev (years 1907–1931) was a famous Indian revolutionary who played a major role in India's struggle for independence. He is one of the greatest Indian freedom fighters who sacrificed his life for the freedom of his country. His full name is Sukhdev Thapar and he was born on 15 May 1907. His ancestral home is in the city of Ludhiana, Naghra Mohalla, Punjab, India. His father's name was Ram Lal. From his childhood days, Sukhdev had witnessed the brutal atrocities that the imperial British government inflicted on India, which compelled him to meet the revolutionaries and vowed to free India from the shackles of British rule.

Sukhdev Thapar was a member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) and organized revolutionary groups in Punjab and other regions of North India. A patriotic leader, Sukhdev went to Lahore National College to educate the youth and there he was greatly inspired about the glorious past of India. He along with other famous revolutionaries started the 'Naujawan Bharat Sabha' in Lahore, an organization involved in various activities. They mainly inspired the youth to participate in the freedom struggle and to end communalism.

Sukhdev himself played an active role in many revolutionary activities such as the 'Hunger Strike of Prison' in the year 1929. For his courageous attack in the Lahore Conspiracy Case (18 December 1928), he will always be remembered in the history of the Indian independence movement, as it shook the foundations of the British government. Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh and Shivram Rajguru were companions, who together with Deputy Superintendent of Police J.J. P. Saunders was killed, the reason for killing the Deputy Superintendent of Police by creating such a conspiracy was to avenge the death of senior leader, Lala Lajpat Rai. After the bombing in the Central Assembly of New Delhi (8 April 1929), Sukhdev and his associates were arrested and convicted of the crime and sentenced to death as a verdict.

On 23 March 1931, three brave revolutionaries, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar and Shivram Rajguru, were hanged while their bodies were cremated in secret on the banks of the Sutlej River. Sukhdev Thapar was just 24 years old when he became a martyr for his country. However, he will always be remembered for his courage, patriotism and sacrifice of life for India's independence.
