Joined HRA
Since he hailed from Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, a region famous for its coarse & rough language, his stay in the jail prompted the Jailer to behave rudely with him, saying people like him deserved such harsh treatment. To Roshan Singh, a Thakur, this was too much and he decided then in jail itself to take revenge against the inhuman behavior of the British Government. As soon as he was released from Bareilly jail, he went straight to Shahjahanpur and met Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil in the premises of the Arya Samaj. Bismil was already in search of some sharp shooters for his revolutionary party. He immediately enrolled Thakur Roshan Singh in his newly established organisation and allotted him the task of teaching shooting to the youngsters enrolling into the party.

“You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
