6. Slogans of Shaheed Bhagat Singh
 Bomb and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is
sharpened on the whetting stone of idea.
 Revolution an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable
birthright of all. Labour is the real sustainer of society.
 Any man who stands for progress has to criticize, disbelieve and challenge every
item of the old faith.
 Zindagi to apne dam par hi jee jati hai.
Dusro ke kandhe par toh sirf janaje uthaye jate hai.”

the age of 15, she was married off to Raja Malasaraja who
belonged to the famous Desai family and were the rulers of the
kingdom of Kittur which is presently situated in Karnataka.
