Why I am an Atheist

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 fathers 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.
