He was a great revolutionary who had a vision for building a new society and a new India and fought to realize this vision. He is respected alike in India and Pakistan even today. Today India is being used as a laboratory by communal-fascist forces for capitalist-imperialist loot and this can be defeated only by following the ideology of Bhagat Singh and his comrades.
