Shaheed Diwas 2023 (Martyrs' Day)

On March 23, 1931, the Lahore jail witnessed the hanging of the three fighters Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar. The day is observed as a tribute to these three brave leaders of Indian history.

History of Shaheed Diwas

In 1948, the history of Shaheed Diwas originated when Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. Gandhi’s assassination resulted in a profound loss for the nation, leading to the establishment of Martyrs’ Day as a tribute to this great leader.

Every year, on January 30th, the day of Gandhi’s death, the nation observes Martyrs’ Day to honor not only Gandhi’s sacrifice but also the sacrifices made by all the brave soldiers who have laid down their lives for the country.

During the day, a two-minute silence is observed, and wreaths are laid at the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi in Raj Ghat, New Delhi.

Shaheed Diwas is not just a day of remembrance but also a day of inspiration. It is a reminder that one person’s sacrifice can inspire many others to make similar sacrifices for their country.

It serves as a reminder that one person’s sacrifice can change the course of history and that we all possess the power to make a difference in the world.
