Come March, and the fight for the legacy of Bhagat Singh fills the news spaces in the North, more so in the current election season. Not surprisingly, attempts to bring him to one side or the other have begun again, pitting the right wing ideas of nationalism with the left wing ideas of revolutionary socialism. And while the fight for pasting his photo on one or the other competing ideologies carries on, the stories that Bhagat Singh could tell are dying a slow death. Ironically, with every new contemporary debate about Bhagat Singh's legacy, its current relevance has been painfully ignored in favour of the outdated struggle of static and poorly understood ideological labels.
