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 father's 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.
Together in one place, this is a collection of most important works of Bhagat Singh, the Indian communist revolutionary who was executed by the British colonizers in 1931 at the age of 23. Bhagat Singh wrote this diary in the last two years of his young life while he was awaiting execution by the British rulers of India. His jail diary was handed over, along with other belongings to his father, Sardar Kishan Singh after his execution.

During your last days, you will begin to believe. I said, No, dear Sir, it shall not be. Bhagat Singh was one of the greatest freedom fighters of the independence of India. He fearlessly led protests and kept on fighting for his nation in the way he thought fit, even if his life was at stake. This fearless quality shone in his writings as well. After he was imprisoned, he put pen to paper and wrote ' Why I Am an Atheist' -- an essay questioning the existence of god-- with complete knowledge of the fact that this was a country filled with people who were generally religious and superstitious. From an essay that explores atheism, heartfelt letters to family, inspirational letters to comrades, to notices sent to court, and even an introduction to a poetical work-- Bhagat Singh' s wide-ranging works, reflections of a cultivated mind, have been put together in this covetable collection.
