Bhagat Singh was born in British India in 1907 . From childhood , he witnesses numerous atrocities committed on fellow Indians by the British , who came to trade under the guise of the East India Company and ended up controlling most of the nation . Bhagat takes a solemn vow to free India from British rule after witnessing the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre . Soon after the massacre , he learns of Mahatma Gandhi 's satyagraha policies and supports the non-cooperation movement , which saw thousands of people burning British-made clothing and giving up school , college studies , and government jobs . In 1922 , Gandhi calls off the movement after the Chauri Chaura incident . Undaunted , Bhagat decides to be a revolutionary , and , as an adult , joins the Hindustan Republic Association in its struggle for India 's independence , ending up in prison for it . Bhagat 's father , Kishen , bails him out so that he can get him to run a dairy farm and marry a girl named Mannewali . Bhagat runs away from home , leaving a note saying that his love for the country comes first
