— Shaheed Udham Singh
Remembering the Lionheart of Punjab
In a world where heroes fade and names are forgotten, some continue to echo through generations like thunder. One such fearless soul is Shaheed Udham Singh the revolutionary who lit the fire of justice with his unwavering courage and immortal sacrifice.
To honour his legacy, Akal Academy, Bagha recently organized a moving poetic event, “A Poem for a Patriot,” where students came together to feel the pain, the pride, and the purpose that defined this legendary martyr’s life.
Words That Roared Like Bullets
Students composed and recited original poems and heartfelt verses that captured the spirit of Udham Singh’s sacrifice. With each word, they painted the picture of a young revolutionary who bore the wounds of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in his heart and carried the resolve to avenge it across oceans.
One of the standout lines read:-
“Na bhoolenge, na jhukenge, na rukenge kabhi,
Udham Singh ka junoon, hai har dil mein abhi.”
These poetic expressions were pledges through performances to remember, to respect, and to live by the ideals of freedom and justice.
Why It Matters for Students
