Who said the following? "We humbly claim to be no more than serious students of the history and conditions of our country and her aspirations. We despise hypocrisy."

Bhagat Singh and his colleagues in the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) positioned themselves as serious students of India's history and socio-political conditions. This quote reflects their intellectual approach to revolution, rejecting hypocritical nationalism. The other leaders, while great, did not frame their struggle in these scholarly terms.
