First published in 2019, 'Why I am an Atheist and Other Works' is an
essay written by Bhagat Singh, a charismatic Indian revolutionist who
partook in the mistaken murder of a junior British police officer in
what was to be revenge for the death of an Indian nationalist.
A dialogue with a confidante soon diverted into a point of
self-assessment for Bhagat Singh, directing him to a lesson on why he
was determined to be an atheist. Even in the face of death at a very
young age, his uncanny observance directs to his putting forth some
relevant questions. In another event, he was dissatisfied with his
father's request in Court for his blamelessness and chose to write a
letter to him.
This book is a compilation of eighteen of his valued essays from within
the walls of the prison and outside it.
