His body had wasted away piece by piece.
His ribs had begun to show.
He no longer had the strength even to move.

When the British saw that this 25-year-old young man would not break, they tried to force-feed him by thrusting a tube through his nose.

The tube entered his lungs instead of his food pipe.

Milk filled his lungs.
He writhed in agony, vomited blood, but still refused to end his hunger strike.

On 13 September 1929, inside Lahore Jail, a revolutionary gave his life.

For 63 days yes, 63 days he had not eaten a single grain of food.

History often remembers the hanging of Bhagat Singh, but forgets the comrade who died in Bhagat Singh’s arms.

That revolutionary was Jatindra Nath Das known across India as Jatin Da.

He was an expert in making bombs, but in the end, his greatest weapon became his own body.

He could have apologized.
He could have accepted food.
He could have saved his life.

But he had only one demand:

“Stop treating Indian political prisoners like animals.”

The British believed hunger would crush his spirit.

They did not realize that this was not a body made of flesh alone it was forged in iron.

As his condition worsened, the British crossed every limit of cruelty.

Prison doctors and guards pinned him down.
They forced a tube into his nose.
He screamed in pain, but his resolve never trembled.

When news of his martyrdom reached the public, the nation wept.

It is said that as his body was carried from Lahore to Calcutta, thousands stood at every railway station with flowers in their hands.

In Calcutta, more than 600,000 people joined his funeral procession.

Subhas Chandra Bose himself helped carry his body on his shoulders.

But today, how many still remember that 63-day sacrifice?

Before his death, Jatin Da reportedly said:

“I am no saint. I am simply an ordinary man who wishes to die for the dignity of his country.”

People may debate how India won freedom.

But one truth cannot be denied:

The foundations of that freedom were laid upon the withered bones of young men like Jatin Da.

India’s freedom was not charity.

Someone paid for it with his youth, his pain, and 63 days of unimaginable suffering.

Every Indian should know the price of the air they breathe today.

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, at the request of Carl Sagan, NASA turned Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look.

From 3.7 billion miles away, it captured this: a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Here is how Carl Sagan beautifully described it:

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

These people hv shown a
Clear lack of direction towards life goals n
lack of role models,
poor interest in education to improve life.
n exposed to unrealistic life online
It’s time our govt intervenes considers social media rules for children.
