Monday, evening time, the sun was setting. The news that Bhagat Singh and his comrades were going to be hanged on March 24 had spread in the streets and lanes of Lahore, which were full of activity throughout the day. Time ticked by in the Lahore Central Jail with the clock ticking. Three pairs of fearless eyes, ready to be martyrs, twenty three/twenty four year old boys.
