Bhagat singh why i am an atheist

Bhagat singh why i am an atheist

Bhagat Singh, while known for his revolutionary activities against British colonial rule, was also a prominent atheist. His atheism was influenced by his studies of socialist and communist ideologies, which often advocated for a rejection of religious beliefs as a means to challenge traditional hierarchies.

Singh believed in rationalism and sought to promote science and reason over blind faith. It's possible that his views on atheism resonated with you, leading you to identify as an atheist as well. Remember that personal beliefs are shaped by various factors, and understanding your own reasons for identifying with certain ideas is important.

History of bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh, born in 1907, was a prominent Indian revolutionary who fiercely opposed British rule. He gained attention for his involvement in protests against repressive laws and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In 1928, he and his associates plotted to protest against the Simon Commission and threw non-lethal bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly. 

In 1931, he was executed at the age of 23 for his role in the killing of British police officer J.P. Saunders. Singh's courage, dedication, and socialist beliefs made him an iconic figure in India's struggle for independence, inspiring generations with his commitment to justice and freedom.

What happened after Bhagat Singh death? 

After Bhagat Singh's execution on March 23, 1931, he became a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule in India. His sacrifice and ideology inspired a new wave of anti-colonial activism. The momentum led to the formation of the Indian National Congress' youth wing and more intense protests.

 The efforts eventually contributed to India's independence in 1947. Bhagat Singh's legacy remains alive through books, films, and memorials, serving as a source of inspiration for future generations fighting for justice and freedom.

A Place to Lay our Heads, and a Long Journey Back to the Beginning

December 21, 2022

I am having trouble keeping track of the days. I keep thinking it’s Sunday today (and it’s Wednesday), I’m a bit astonished that we’ve been in India a week, and the fact that Christmas is four days away is mind-blowing. Anyone who knows me knows I love this holiday- and I’m getting a little misty thinking about not being with family this year. But this was a conscious choice (in order to meet with my students at Khalsa College and give them an “activity”—I’ve been advised NOT to call it an “assignment”--for over their winter break) and I will relish the chance to experience what Christmas is like in the Punjab. There are certainly signs of the holiday: our hotel is advertising that we can “satiate our Christmas cravings with luscious indulgences, handcrafted by our culinarians”—and for a mere 599 INR (about $7.00) we can have a “Jagermeister Bomb” (don’t know what that is—but yuck.) And there’s an old Anglican church near here from British times with a Christmas Eve service and Christmas day service- so we’ll attend one of those. There are artificial trees for sale in local stalls, along with Santa hats and some other silly stuff—and our hotel has some nice jazz versions of Christmas carols playing (the same playlist over and over…but at least it’s pleasant.) We’ll make our own unique Christmas tradition this year. But I’ll miss the Christmas House in Brookfield, MA where my sister-in-law Margo goes all out in their 18th century home.

The big news since last I wrote is that we found a place to live! David and I were all set to commit to an apartment that was darling—and very comfortable—but in a neighborhood I had some concerns about. In the meanwhile, I reached out to people I met when I was here in 2018—desperately seeking a recommendation for a real estate broker who might help us in our search. One of those people was an astonishing young woman named Aashna Sachdeva whom I had connected with in 2018.

Aashna and me in 2018

Aashna wrote to me Monday morning that her father, whose family had experienced Partition, was touched by the subject of my project, and wanted to help. Within an hour we were visiting a property he owns in a great part of town—and invited to make that our home for the next six months. The place is shared during the day by his partner and crew who are working on developing an app for film editing (it feels like we are in an episode of Silicon Valley minus the obnoxious characters)- but we have a spacious area upstairs. It was pretty sparse when we saw it, but Aashna’s mom Jasmina met me there the next day and made a list of things she could loan us for our stay: a couch, a table, a small frig, some rugs, etc. The generosity of this couple- who were complete strangers to us a week ago-is overwhelming. We move in on Friday- and we’re planning to treat ourselves to a little shopping spree at Home Centre and Fabindia (the temple of my familiar) to make the place feel homey.

This city is fascinating… and intense. Having an oasis of peace will be crucial.

Our new place:

Today, David and I headed to the old city with the plan of visiting the Golden Temple.

On our way

But when we got there, it was teeming with pilgrims, worshippers, and tourists—and we thought it wise to return early one morning or after dark—the times recommended by many. After stopping in at The Partition Museum (the place I visited in 2018 that prompted the whole idea for this Fulbright project),

Outside of the Partition Museum, housed in the old town hall

we made our way to the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial. If you don’t know or have forgotten: on April 13, 1919, a group of soldiers commanded by British Brigadier General R.E.H. Dyer entered an enclosed courtyard where a large group of peaceful protesters (men, women, and children) were gathered. He ordered the soldiers (sadly, all Indians serving in the British army) to fire into the crowd. No warning was made to disperse (such gatherings were forbidden)—they just fired –1650 rounds—and killed approximately 1500 men, women, and children. 120 of them jumped into the well in the courtyard to escape the bullets—and all drowned. I’m giving the barest of facts here. But see the scene the scene from “Gandhi” on YouTube below for a pretty accurate (and harrowing) seven-minute depiction (if, perhaps, a little kind to the panel that questioned Dyer later.) You'll see the Town Hall that now houses the Partition Museum in the clip. The space is now a memorial park to the victims and very well done, although the cheery music piped in makes for a bizarre counterpoint to the weight of what took place there.

Jallianwala Bagh

We were tired after that- and ready to head back to the hotel for a rest. That was not as simple as anticipated. We got ourselves lost in the warren of narrow streets that make up the old city- and my Fitbit knock-off alerted me that I had reached 10,000 steps long before we made it to a main road where we could call an Uber. And that was right back where we’d started. We had walked in a huge, confusing circle—past countless tiny shops, tea stalls and rickshaw drivers all offering to take us where we were going (but none knowing where our hotel was.) Although I had some nervousness that we might get robbed (pick pocketing and other theft are a big problem here)- we both sort of enjoyed the journey. The weather was cool and not unpleasant. There were lots of interesting things to see.

And we knew eventually we’d have to come to something familiar, which we did. It did feel incredibly good to finally climbed into an Uber and sit back as our driver made his way through unimaginable traffic to finally deposit us at our hotel (how does anyone drive in this city?) The Uber cost: 140 INR (about $1.75.) We tipped him more than the ride cost: that price might have been acceptable (for here) if it had been a clear shot—but that poor driver made no money on that ride.

Off to sleep- with the hopes that tonight I don’t wake up at my new time of 1 AM to lie and obsess for an hour before falling back to sleep.

Oh! My funny story of the day: mid-morning I went down to the lobby to ask about extending our stay by one night (the house isn’t quite ready for us.) There was a woman in the lobby impatiently asking for something from the staff. She had on her flannel plaid pajamas and slippers, was holding a cup of chai in each hand, and coughing non-stop. No mask. Not even an attempt to cover her mouth. She then went over to the elevator to head back to her room. I decided to take the stairs. This is a four-star hotel, folks.

And for a little laugh:

Until the next…

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: A Day We Remember

Every year, on April 13th, India bows its head in memory of the horrific Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It's a day to remember the innocent lives lost, the bravery of those who fought for freedom, and the heroes whose sacrifices paved the way for a better tomorrow.

But perhaps the most important aspect of remembering Jallianwala Bagh is honoring the "forgotten heroes" – the ordinary people caught in the storm of violence, the ones who displayed courage in the face of brutality.

A Turning Point in History

 The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place in Amritsar, Punjab, on April 13th, 1919. It was a time of growing unrest in India. People were protesting against the newly passed Rowlatt Act, a law that gave the British government vast powers to arrest and detain Indians without trial.

On that fateful day, a large crowd, including men, women, and children, gathered at Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden enclosed on all sides with narrow entry points. They were unaware that General Dyer, a ruthless British officer, had ordered troops to surround the area.

Without warning, General Dyer blocked the exits and opened fire on the unarmed crowd. The firing continued for over ten minutes, turning the enclosed space into a killing ground. People scrambled for cover, some jumping into a well to escape the hail of bullets.

The Unsung Heroes

The official death toll stands at 379, but it is believed to be much higher. Thousands more were injured. However, the true story of Jallianwala Bagh lies not just in the numbers but in the stories of the people caught in the tragedy.

1. The Mothers who Shielded their Children:

Imagine the unimaginable – a rain of bullets descending upon you. What would you do? Many mothers at Jallianwala Bagh instinctively used their own bodies to shield their children. Their bravery, a testament to the unwavering love of a mother, saved countless lives.

2. The Well of Sacrifice:

In a desperate bid to escape the bullets, many people jumped into a well inside the Bagh. Some managed to climb out later, but for many others, it became a watery grave. Their sacrifice serves as a reminder of the lengths people would go to in the face of blind violence.

3. The Rescue Workers:

Even amidst the chaos and carnage, some people displayed remarkable courage. Once the firing stopped, a group of brave individuals ventured into the Bagh, risking their own lives to pull out the injured and search for survivors. Their selfless acts brought a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.

4. Udham Singh: The Avenger

Though not present at Jallianwala Bagh, a young man named Udham Singh was deeply affected by the news of the massacre. Years later, in 1940, he assassinated Michael O'Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, who had approved the action at Jallianwala Bagh. Udham Singh became a symbol of resistance, a man who refused to let the sacrifice of the innocent go in vain.

Remembering the Past, Shaping the Future

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre was a dark chapter in Indian history. But remembering this day is not about dwelling on the past. It's about learning from it. It's about understanding the cost of oppression and the power of human resilience.

Here's how we can honour the memory of Jallianwala Bagh:

Educate ourselves and future generations: Learning about Jallianwala Bagh is crucial to understanding the Indian freedom struggle. By sharing stories of the massacre and its heroes, we keep the memory alive.

Fight for justice and equality: Jallianwala Bagh stands as a stark reminder of the brutality that can occur when power goes unchecked. We must strive for a world where such violence never happens again.

Celebrate the heroism of ordinary people: The true heroes of Jallianwala Bagh were the ordinary men, women, and children who displayed immense courage in the face of adversity. Their stories inspire us to be better people, to stand up for what is right, and to fight for a more just world.

Jallianwala Bagh is a wound in the collective memory of India. But it's also a reminder of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. By remembering the sacrifice of the forgotten heroes, we can ensure that their fight for freedom was not in vain.

BRINGING CLOSURE TO THE JALLIANWALA BAGH MASSACRE OF 1919!

Came across an article informing of the 1st ever official release, in 2021, of names of the people that so sadly 'went away from us' as a result of what's come to be known in history as 'The Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre' of Apr 13, 1919 !

So went to the referred website, & upon cursory glance, the Good Lord & my spirit instantly informed me, that EACH OF THE ~500-550 'martyrs' (this identified as the total number of victims of the tragedy) from that tragic episode, had 999,999 Million Billion Billion……………755 times mentioned Billion Governing Council members in their family lineage, & an angel-lineage number of 1000, moreover with ~9 of their elders in immediate 1st gen family, also carrying the exact same 'blessing' as them!

Bewilderingly, the villain of the piece, Brig. Gen. R.E.H. Dyer, also had the exact same number of 999,999 Million Billion Billion……………755 times mentioned Billion Governing Council members in his family lineage, moreover with ~9 of his elders in immediate 1st gen family, also carrying the exact same 'blessing' as him! But the Good Lord also informs me, that with his last birth's acts as Dyer, all his previous births have NOW forever been nullified!

Hope this bring some closure, to all viewers & readers of one of the cruelest chapters in our textbook of Indian history, over the past century & more.

The Good Lord wishes, that they all live in the peaceful memories of their friends & families, forever, knowing how they went away to a nicer place after all!

Jallianwala Bagh Case Study: Effects of PTSD | Solh Wellness

PTSD is a mental disorder induced by a stressful event or incident in a person's life. The illness may have a long-term influence on the individual, ranging from several months to years. Specific triggers can reactivate trauma-related memories, resulting in heightened emotional and physical responses such as anxiety and panic attacks. 

The massacre in Jallianwala Bagh

The tragedy at Jallianwala Bagh is a horrific incident in Indian history. General Dyer, a British military officer, ordered his soldiers to open fire on an unarmed crowd gathering in Amritsar, Punjab, on April 13, 1919. The throng had peacefully gathered to protest the arrest of nationalist leaders. Many individuals were killed, and many more were injured. Excruciating agony and long-term psychological trauma resulted from the catastrophe. Survivors of the massacre were profoundly affected, and many struggled to recover from the horror of the incident. A certain incident in Indian history causes the population to develop mental diseases such as PTSD. 

Survivors of such disasters are traumatised.

Following a heinous event such as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, people may experience tiredness, confusion, melancholy, concern, agitation, numbness, detachment, physiological arousal, and muted affect. These are thought to be natural, socially acceptable, psychologically successful, and self-limiting reactions. However, due to the delay, traumatic reactions are conceivable, particularly for people who witnessed events such as the killing. These delayed effects can include persistent tiredness, sleep problems, nightmares, fear of recurrence, flashback anxiety, sadness, and avoidance of anything related to the trauma. Such occurrences might result in chronic and incapacitating psychological deficiencies, leading to formal diagnoses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The following are some of the most prevalent PTSD symptoms:

Trauma survivors frequently experience triggers and flashbacks.

Anger, fear, and grief are all common emotional reactions to tragedy.

Numbing is a coping strategy that results in emotional detachment.

A typical sign of PTSD is hyper-arousal, which manifests as sleep difficulties and increased startle responses.

Trauma can cause a variety of physical health problems, including digestive, cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, and dermatological issues.

The Psychological Impact of PTSD on Children

Children who witness horrible acts like Jalliwanwala Bagh may have a range of symptoms based on their age. Young children may experience dread, disorientation, nightmares, and physical symptoms, whereas adolescents may experience despair, social disengagement, hazardous behaviours such as sexual acting out, and a desire for vengeance. After seeing the bloodshed, Indian independence heroes and symbols such as Bhagat Singh and Sardar Udham Singh experienced severe mental anguish. 

Dealing with PTSD

Learning new coping skills and ways to deal with challenging emotions can be quite beneficial for trauma survivors. Practical therapies include mindfulness activities, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy. Aside from medication, healthy sleep habits, Nightmare mental rehearsal, relaxation techniques, and adequate nutrition can all aid in the treatment of nightmares. The importance of normalising trauma symptoms for healing should be addressed more. Individuals must be reassured that their symptoms do not indicate a lack of strength or fault, and that they may heal. Remember that you are not alone or to blame; assistance is available.

Conclusion

The Jallianwala Bagh incident occurred more over 110 years ago on this day, but it remains one of India's most horrible incidents. Such acts leave an indelible mark on those who witness them. Solh Wellness goes to great lengths to adhere to all relevant procedures in order to provide the greatest preventive mental health therapies that are also widely accessible.
