About the Book: Why I Am An Atheist and Other Works
Bhagat Singh is a name that became synonymous with revolution in Indias
struggle for independence. This young boy brought about a change in the way
people thought about freedom. He was well read and fought extensively for rights
his own, his comrades and his countrymens. A discussion with a friend soon
turned into a matter of self-assessment for Bhagat Singh, leading to a discourse
on why he chose to be an atheist. Even in the face of death at a very young age,
his uncanny observation leads to his putting forth some pertinent questions.
