Indian home rule society was an Indian organisation founded in London in 1905 that sought to promote the cause of self-rule in British India. It was established by Shyamji Krishna Verma along with Bhikaji Cama, S.R. Rana and Lala Lajpat Rai. It found immense support from Indian students and other Indians in Britain.

Bhagat Singh born on 28 September 1907 was an Indian nationalist considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. He attended Dayanand Anglo Vedic High School in Lahore, which was operated by Arya Samaj. 

Bhagat Singh and B.K. Dutt threw a bomb while shouting 'Inquilab Zindabad' in the Central Legislative Assembly on 8 April 1929 against the passage of the Public Safety Bill and the Trade Disputes Bill which would reduce the civil liberties of citizens. The aim was not to kill but to make themselves heard and use the trials to make people familiar with their movement and ideology. 

Lala Lajpat Rai died due to lathi charge while leading the anti-Simon Commission demonstration on 30 October 1928. To avenge his death, Bhagat Singh, Raj guru, Jai Gopal and Sukh Dev conspired to kill the police chief, Scott but instead killed the ASP – J. P. Saunders. Later Bhagat Singh was trialed and sentenced to death in this Lahore Conspiracy Case when he was captured after throwing bomb in Delhi Assembly.

Chandra Shekhar Azad was one of the most prominent Indian revolutionaries. He was one of the most important revolutionaries who reorganised the Hindustan Republican Association under the new name of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) after the death of its founder Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil. He led the organisation as commander- in- chief. He dreamt of an independent India based on socialist principles and was fearless in his approach.
