Every year, India observes Shaheed Diwas, or Martyrs’ Day, on March 23, to pay tribute to the nation’s three courageous martyrs. On this historic day in 1931, Bhagat Singh, along with Shivaram Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar, met their fate on the gallows under British rule. This day serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave warriors during the Indian freedom struggle.

Shaheed Diwas symbolizes the steadfast spirit of those who fought for India’s freedom. It is a collective commemoration and homage to all who sacrificed their lives in the quest for independence.

In the face of two centuries of British oppression and terror, many individuals rallied to the cause of freedom. Their resilience and determination propelled the nation towards liberation from colonial bondage.

On this Shaheed Diwas, let us come together to honor the unwavering courage displayed by our soldiers. They stood firm against tyranny and made the ultimate sacrifice, refusing to submit to colonial forces. It’s a moment to respectfully acknowledge the valor of these courageous freedom fighters.
