Bhagat Singh did not confine himself to the study of books. The more he learnt about revolution, the greater grew his desire to participate in it. Bengal, the home of revolution, caught his attention. He contacted the revolutionary party of the province. the leader of the party was Sachindranath Sanyal. Every member of the party had to accept one condition. At the call of its leader, he had to be ready to quit home and join him. Bhagat Singh agreed.
Bhagat Singh's grandmother insisted that he should get married. So a girl was chosen. A day was fixed for the formal decision. the day was fast approaching. But just then the leader of the revolution called him. Bhagat Singh left home and went to Lahore. For sometime thereafter, nobody knew where he went.
Before leaving home, Bhagat Singh wrote a letter. He said, "The aim of my life is to fight for India's freedom. I do not wish for worldly pleasures. At the time of my Upanayanam (the initiation ceremony among the Hindus), my uncle had taken a sacred promise from me, I promised to sacrifice myself for the sake of the country. Accordingly I am now giving up my own happiness and going to serve the country."
