"Why I Am an Atheist + Jail Diary" refers to a collection of writings by the Indian revolutionary Bhagat Singh, including his famous essay "Why I Am an Atheist" written in 1930, and excerpts from his jail diary. In the essay, Singh explains that his atheism stemmed from a critical, reasoned approach to religion rather than vanity or revolutionary ideals, questioning the existence of an all-powerful God in an imperfect world and criticizing blind faith and the existing social order. The jail diary provides further insight into his reflections during imprisonment.
