Its really sad how you used picture of S. Bhagat Singh in wrong way. The picture of Bhagat Singh in hat was taken in 1929 after cutting his hair in Lahore to escape detection by police and the other picture was taken in 1927 at Lahore Railway Police Station during his first arrest. I think you should read the whole history first posting picture like this and please if you are a sikh don't make people fool. Am also a sikh and am proud of S. Bhagat Singh and i also suggest you to read the book "Why am an Athiest" to learn more about why Bhagat Singh become athiest. If you are going to remove this comment i also request you to remove Bhagat Singh's picture if you have a little bit respect for him and Sikhism. Thank You

Please read the Autobiography of Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh, whom he had a meeting with in jail shortly before being hung to death.

Bhagat Singh stopped cutting his hair and aspired to become initiated back into the Sikh Faith but was declined by the jail authorities.

You are welcome to believe that he remained an athiest.
