New Delhi, May 14: Whenever the discussion turns to revolutionaries in India, the bravery of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukadev Thapar comes to mind. Sukadev was born on May 15, 1907, in Lyallpur, now a part of Ludhiana.
At a young age, Sukadev Thapar initiated a struggle against British imperialism, steering the Indian independence movement in a new direction. Tragically, he lost his father when he was just three years old. From childhood, Sukadev harbored a desire to make a difference. He not only inspired patriotism among the youth but also actively participated in revolutionary activities.
In 1919, during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, Sukadev was around 12 years old. This incident left a profound impact on him. After completing his matriculation from Sanatan Dharma High School in Lyallpur, he enrolled in National College in Lahore, where he met Bhagat Singh. In 1926, Sukadev became the main organizer of the ‘Naujawan Bharat Sabha’ formed in Lahore.
Following the brutal lathi charge on a rally against the Simon Commission, which severely injured Lala Lajpat Rai, Sukadev and Bhagat Singh resolved to take revenge.
Sukadev Thapar is often regarded as the backbone of this youthful revolutionary movement. He famously wrote a letter to Mahatma Gandhi from prison, which is still considered a significant historical document.
Sukadev Thapar, along with Shivaram Rajguru and Bhagat Singh, was sentenced to death in the Lahore Conspiracy Case on March 23, 1931. At just 24 years old, Sukadev made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
