Bhagat Singh

Beware, Ye Bureaucracy

J.P. Sunders is dead; Lala Lajpat Rai is avenged

Really it is horrible to imagine that so lowly and violent hand violent

hand of an ordinary Police Official, J.P. Saunders could ever dare to

touch in such an insulting way the body of one so old, so revered and so

loved by 300 millions of people of Hindustan and thus cause his death.

The youth and manhood of India was challenged by blows hurled down on

the head of the India’s nationhood. And let the world know that India

still lives; that the blood of youths has not been totally cooled down

and that they can still risk their lives, if the honour of their nation

is at stake. And it is proved through this act by those obscure who are

ever persecuted, condemned and denounced even by their own people.

Beware, Ye Tyrants; Beware

Do not injure the felling of a downtrodden and oppressed country. Think

twice before perpetrating such diabolical deed, And remember that

despite ‘Arms Act’ and strict guards against the smuggling of arms, the

revolvers will ever continue to flow in-if no sufficient at present for

and armed revolt, then at least sufficient to avenge the national

insults. Inspite of all the denunciations and condemnation 0f their own

kiths and kins, and ruthless repression and persecution of the alien

government, party of young men will ever live to teach a lesson to the

haughty rulers. They will be so bold as to cry even amidst the raging

storm of opposition and repression, even on the scaffold:

“LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION”!

Sorry for the death of a man. But in this man has died the

representative of an institution which is so cruel, lowly and so base

that it must be abolished. In this man has died an agent of the British

authority in India — the most tyrannical of Govt. of Govts. In the

world.

Sorry for the bloodshed of a human being; but the sacrifice of

individuals at the altar of the Revolution that will bring freedom to

all and make the exploitation of man by main impossible, is inevitable.

Long Live The Revolution” !
