Today, June 14, is the birthday of the famous revolutionary Che Guevara. He is also called the Bhagat Singh of Latin America. Che Guevara was born on June 14, 1928 in the city of Rosario, Argentina.
After studying medicine, he fought for the independence of Cuba along with Fidel Castro and also became the foreign minister there.
Just as Shaheed Bhagat Singh is a revolutionary beacon in South Asia, so is Che Guevara in Latin America.
There are many similarities between the two. Both the handsome young men were martyred while fighting powerful governments.
Che Guevara was martyred on October 9, 1967, at the age of 39, while fighting the CIA of America for the independence of Bolivia.
Bhagat Singh was about 24 years old at the time of his execution on 23 March 1931.
Heartfelt tributes are paid to such warriors.
