Naujawan Bharat Sabha was an association of Indian youth.[1] The organization was founded by Bhagat Singh in March 1926[2] and was declared illegal under the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1908 in September 1934. Its purpose was to help foster revolution against the British Raj by gathering together worker and peasant youth.
