The Man Who Avenged Bhagat Singh
Historical Fiction, 2023
A true story of sacrifice and revenge—a patriot against a traitor, a common man against the empire.
In 1929, Bhagat Singh surrenders after a daring bomb attack in the heart of Delhi’s assembly. Behind bars, he prepares for an ideological battle against the empire. However, a shocking betrayal shatters his world. Phanindra Nath Ghosh, a trusted comrade, becomes a British approver, revealing every secret of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA). His damning testimony leads to multiple arrests, and then the British hang Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. Popularly known as the ‘king’s witness’, Ghosh had singlehandedly brought down an armed revolution. But with their leaders gone and British oppression at its peak, surviving HSRA members rally around one burning desire: revenge. Their target is the man who dismantled their life’s work. But with limited resources, their hopes rest on a lone figure. From the shadows emerges Baikunth Sukul, an unassuming teacher from Bihar and a devoted admirer of Bhagat Singh. He swears to exact revenge on behalf of the martyrs and the HSRA.
Will he succeed in this nearly impossible mission?
What happens when he locks horns with the formidable British Raj?
And to what lengths will he go to avenge Bhagat Singh’s death?
India’s journey to Independence was filled with deeds of forgotten heroes. This is one such story of sacrifice and revenge—of a patriot against a traitor, a common man against the empire.
