Bhagat Singh was a master of disguise, using different appearances to outsmart British authorities.
- Shedding His Sikh Identity (1928): After the Lahore Conspiracy Case and the killing of British officer J.P. Saunders, Bhagat Singh cut his hair and shaved his beard—a significant sacrifice for a Sikh—to avoid being recognized while escaping Lahore.
- Adopting Western Attire: To blend in, he wore a suit, a hat, and spoke in English, presenting himself as a well-educated young man rather than a revolutionary.
- Growing a Beard for a New Identity (1929): Later, when the British intensified their search for him, he grew a full beard and adopted a more traditional Indian look, making it harder for authorities to identify him.
- Multiple Disguises and Fake Names: He often changed his name and identity while traveling—one of his aliases was Balwant Singh.
- Outsmarting the British Intelligence: Despite being one of the most wanted men in India, he managed to evade capture multiple times, proving his intelligence and adaptability.
His ability to transform his appearance helped him stay ahead of the British, but his ultimate goal was never to run—it was to inspire a revolution. 🚩
