Acharya Prashant explains that we often mistakenly believe that Bhagat Singh's fight was against the British, a notion reinforced by popular culture. He clarifies that the struggle of any true revolutionary is fundamentally against slavery itself, not against any specific person or group. If a revolutionary appears to be fighting against individuals, it is only because those individuals are proponents of slavery. The real fight is against the mentality of enslavement. He points out that when one fights against slavery, the most significant opposition often comes from the slaves themselves, as they are the ones who have accepted and are holding onto their chains due to some self-interest. When you challenge their slavery, you inadvertently challenge their vested interests. We tend to think that slavery is forcibly imposed, but a person becomes a slave by accepting it, often for personal gain. When you try to liberate a slave, you also threaten their self-interest. The speaker emphasizes that the horrific acts committed against Bhagat Singh's body after his execution—such as being cut into pieces and improperly cremated—were carried out by Indians, not the British. These individuals justified their actions by citing their helplessness and the need to do their job to support their families. This excuse of helplessness, Acharya Prashant argues, is the root of all sins. People commit the most heinous acts and justify them by claiming they are compelled by their circumstances. He contrasts this with Bhagat Singh, who, despite having a family, was not bound by them. He refused to marry, considering the revolution his bride, and strongly rebuked his father for seeking a pardon. Bhagat Singh was not helpless before his family. The real slavery is not to an external power like the British, but to one's own self-interests and attachments. The entire colonial program was run by Indians who cooperated out of their own compulsions. To live a life of freedom, one must make difficult choices and not be bound by such compulsions, even if it means sacrificing personal attachments for a higher ideal.
