Title: Beware, Ye Bureaucracy Author: Bhagat Singh Date: December 18, 1928 Language: en Topics: assassination, propaganda of the deed, bureaucracy, India Source: Retrieved on 2020-05-05 from http://www.shahidbhagatsingh.org/index.asp?linkid=6 Notes: A handwritten leaflet explaining the reasons for Saunders’ murder, written on December 18, 1928 on Mozang House den and pasted at several placs on the walls of Lahore in the night between the 18th and 19th. A copy in Bhagat Singh’s handwriting was produced as an exhibit in the Lahore Conspiracy Case.
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.
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:
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” !
