The mentor of Bhagat Singh was Lala Lajpat Rai. Lala Lajpat Rai was a prominent freedom fighter and a leader of the Indian National Congress, known for his strong advocacy of Swaraj (self-rule) through inspiring speeches and writings. He played a crucial role in motivating many young Indians, including Bhagat Singh, to join the fight for India’s independence from British rule. The death of Lala Lajpat Rai in 1928, caused by injuries sustained during a protest against the Simon Commission, deeply influenced Bhagat Singh and pushed him toward more radical actions in the independence movement.
