Bhagat Singh's thoughts about God, religion, societal thinking and his own views about atheism. His firm stand on his ideology even while facing the gallows is inspiring. Brilliant piece of writing. Recommended for both believers and atheists.

To understand the book to the fullest it should be read with an unprejudiced, unbiased, rational and argumentative mind.
I was born, and completed studies, in India but what I knew about Bhagat Singh was that he was a brave freedom fighter who gave his life for the nation. But this book is a clear mirror showing the logical thinker in him.
Also, he was a believer of communism, which was never mentioned in the history classes.
What impressed me more is that he was just 22 while he wrote this wonderful article.
The essay was a reply to his religious friends who thought Bhagat Singh became an atheist because of his vanity. He thinks that beliefs are the creation of the shrewd people who wanted to snatch reason from the people.
"They were always in search of petty hoaxes to play upon people and snatch from them the power of Reason."
He implores the reader to think logically and answer his questions on religion.
The essay has not succeeded in turning me into an atheist but still, I loved the way he composed it.

"If, as you believe there is an Almighty, Omnipresent, Omniscient God, who created the
earth or universe, please let me know, first of all, as to why he created this world. This
world which is full of woe and grief, and countless miseries, where not even one person
lives in peace." quoth Bhagat Singh.
No better question can be asked.
Now theists, answer this question, and then we will talk.
Until then, you are all just ignorant and lack self-confidence.

Unfortunately in this day and age his writings do not seem profound to me. His argument could've been more impactful but he was in jail and only 22 when he wrote this and for that reason alone this discourse is commendable.

We've always associated Bhagat Singh with adjectives like brave and strong but this essay ( along with the others) make you understand how intelligent and well read he was.
A must read.

Not sure if someone edited it or not, but there are lots of grammatical mistakes in the book, at least in the beginning.
Coming to the book, given the fact that it was written when Bhagat Singh was 23 years old, it is fantastic and a must-read. This gives a great deal of insight into what was going on in his mind. This was written when he was already convicted and soon to be hanged (as suggested from the text). I loved the book.
