# Bhagat Singh: ‘Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind’ 2026-08-15T00:13:15+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Livemint.com quotes Bhagat Singh's famous line: 'Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birthright of all.' The 1929 statement from the Assembly Bomb Case articulates his view that liberty is a birthright, not a privilege granted by rulers. The piece examines why his words remain relevant in a world where some treat freedom as conditional. Singh, executed at 23, was a prolific writer. His courtroom statements argued that resistance is justified where freedom is withheld. The article draws life lessons, including that freedom is a right, not a reward, and that inherited freedoms should not be taken for granted. ## Coverage - livemint.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
