Bhagat Singh was moved to the D.A.V High School Lahore.
          Bhagat Singh was diffrent from other boys of his age. When he was in the 4th class, Bhagat Singh asked his classmates, ''what do you wish to become when you grow up.'' Each boy gave a diffrent answer. '' I intend becoming a Doctor'', said one. Another said, ''I will be government Officer''. Still another would become a Merchant, while another ''would marry''.

He collected a bottle of mud wet with the blood of Indians and returned home. Bhagat Singh's sister inquired from his the cause of deley. She said ''where were you all this time? Mother has been waiting ro give something to eat.'' But Bhagat Singh was not at all thinking of food. Showing the bottle in his hand, he said to her, look here. This is the blood of our people killed by the British. Salute this. Then he put the bottle in a niche and worshipped it with flowers. This was the time when the Indian National Congress was fighting for the country's freedom. It was trying to awaken the people's love.
