It was late Twenties when the
whole country was agitated over the Police assault on Lala Lajpat Rai while
leading an anti-Simon procession in Lahore. The injuries claimed one of the
stalwarts of Indian politics as its victim.
The revolutionaries of Northwest took the vow of avenging the death while
watching the funeral flames devouring the mortal remains of the Lion of Punjab,
on the 17th December 1928, the Asst. Commissioner of Police, Saunders, was done
to death in broad day light. A Conspiracy case soon followed and Sukhdev found
his place as one of the principal accused. It was during this case that Jatin
Das sacrificed his life for the vindication of the political prisoners by
restoring to a hunger strike, which cost him life but earned him the epithet of
‘McSwiney of India’.
Born at Lyalpur, Sukhdev had his training in the revolutionary movement along
with Chandra Shekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh. He had set up a small factory at
Lahore for the manufacture of bomb and was arrested there. In the trial that
followed he had equal, honor with Bhagat Singh and Rajguru in receiving capital
punishment. On the 20th March, 1931, the ‘Three Musketeers’ went up the gallows
