The Lost Letter

Prof. Chaman Lal

“Today when the political parties are trying to appropriate Bhagat Singh’s legacy, it becomes imperative to look at his ideas, which are clear in their political manifestations. It is not fair to his memory to ‘evolve’ one’s own Bhagat Singh with imposed and imagined perceptions. These documents do not leave space for any hypocrisy in the name of Bhagat Singh. The new political phenomenon of Aam Aadmi Party, which claims to carry forward the legacy of Bhagat Singh, should introspect on whether its own lawyers follow the same ethical values in their profession, as Bhagat Singh expected from them.”

This is an excerpt from Prof. Chaman Lal's write-up on The Hindu dated 23rd March 2014. On Bhagat Singh’s death anniversary, the writer looks at a newly revealed document that establishes him as a mature political thinker. Follow the link to read more.
