Almost half of the population from Bhagat Singh's village 'Khatkar Kalan' are now NRIs

When legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh laid down his life for the country's Independence, there was no way he could have known that people from his village would exercise freedom to settle abroad for greener pastures decades later. Half of the village's population of 400 families has migrated to foreign lands, leaving behind the elderly and caretakers. Most of them have migrated to the US, Canada, the UK and Europe.
