116 Days (1469 Blog)

116 is the number of days Bhagat Singh fasted.

Together with Batukeshwar Dutt, Bhagat Singh and an accomplice threw two bombs and leaflets inside the Central Legislative Assembly. The two men were arrested, as they had planned to be. Held on this charge, he gained widespread national support when he underwent a 116-day fast in jail, demanding equal rights for British and Indian political prisoners.
