Bhagat singh's to the second LCC convicts
Answers
On March 22,
the Second Lahore Conspiracy Case convicts,
who were locked up in Ward Number 14 sent a slip to Bhagat Singh asking if he would like to live.
This letter was in reply to that slip.
The desire to live is natural.
It is in me also.
I do not want to conceal it.
But it is conditional.
I don’t want to live as a prisoner or under restrictions.
My name has become a symbol of Indian revolution.
The ideal and the sacrifices of the revolutionary party have elevated me to a height beyond which I will never be able to rise if I live.
Yes, one thing pricks me even today.
My heart nurtured some ambitions for doing something for humanity and for my country.
I have not been able to fulfill even one-thousandth part of those ambitions.
If I live I might perhaps get a chance to fulfill them.
If ever it came to my mind that I should not die, it came from this end only.
I am proud of myself these days and I am anxiously waiting for the final test.
I wish the day may come nearer soon.
