DESCRIPTION:This year marked the 82nd death anniversary of one of South As
 ia’s iconic revolutionaries\, Bhagat Singh. His heroic struggle for a re
 volutionary change and overthrow of imperialism through a militant struggl
 e has been a source of inspiration for generations. Bhagat was executed by
  the imperialist despots in the wee hours of March 23\, 1931 at the tender
  age of 23\, but he had left a mark in the annals of history of the class 
 struggle in the region. \n\nBhagat Singh was a fervent torchbearer of the 
 workers struggle of the subcontinent. He rejected the prejudices of caste\
 , creed\, nationality\, race\, gender\, and\, of course\, religion.\n\nPre
 sently\, with the crisis of Capitalism bringing misery\, poverty and hunge
 r to the people of the sub-continents\, the political relevance of Bhagat 
 Singh's struggle is gaining wide acceptance among the youth of the region.
 \n\nSome of us are gathering to commemorate the death anniversary of the g
 reat revolutionary Bhagat Singh. We will also discuss the class struggle i
 n South Asia and also shed some light into events that led to the Partitio
 n of India of 1947. There will be some revolutionary poetry.\n\nPlease com
 e for a thought provoking discussion.
