The secondary sector of the economy or industrial sector includes those economic sectors that create a finished, tangible product: production and construction.
This sector generally takes the output of the primary sector and manufactures finished goods. These products are then either exported or sold to domestic consumers and to places where they are suitable for use by other businesses. This sector is often divided into light industry and heavy industry. Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and machinery to convert the raw materials into goods and products. They also produce waste materials and waste heat that may pose environmental problems or cause pollution.
Bhan Singh (1875 – 2 March 1918) was an Indian freedom fighter.
Bhan Singh was born in village Sunet, District Ludhiana.
Like like many young men of rural Punjab, he too joined the army, and served a cavalry regiment for a few years. Discharged from service, he went to America to earn money. But having realised that the motherland was in fetters, he joined the Ghadar Party. Upon its call to return to India for Ghadar, he arrived in India on 29 October 1915 and was interned in Montgomery Jail. He was released, after being found innocent. He then put his heart and soul in the activities of the party. He was arrested and tried for war against the emperor, sentenced to transportation for life, and sent to cellular jail Andaman.
Even in the hell-like life of Andaman, once, while standing in the door of his cell, he was singing the famous lines of Guru Gobind Singh "mittar pyarae nun hall murtdan da kahina" (convey to my beloved friend, the predicament of the devotees). An English jail warden asked "Who give you the right to sing here?" He continued singing. He was then kept in total isolation and thrashed, but he did not yield. when he was just near his end, the jail authorities in order to save their skin, sent him to hospital, where he died just after his arrival.
