Naujawan Bharat Sabha

Naujawan Bharat Sabha was an association of Indian youth which was established at a convention held in April 1928 at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.^[1][2][3] The aims of the Sabha were to create a youth wing of peasants and workers with a view to usher in revolution in the country and overthrow the British rule. The Sabha remained active between March 1926 and April 1927.^[4]. CID. File NO.9349 relating to bhagat singh reads: "in the spring of 1926 a society known as the youth india association or naujawan bharat sabha was formed at Lahore by a group of extremists. The avowed objects of the society are to prepare young men for political service, to popularize the use of 'khaddar' and to work for hindu-muslim unity, but proceedings of its weekly meetings show that it was thoroughly impregnated with revolutionory ideas."
