Shaheed Diwas 2024: Shaheed Diwas, recognized as Martyrs’ Day, pays tribute to the bravery and dedication of individuals who laid down their lives for the nation. It commemorates the sacrifice of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, who were hanged by the British colonial rulers of India on this day in 1931. On Martyrs’ Day, let’s pay respects to their heroes – Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev, whose courage and determination have left an indelible mark on the nation’s history. It’s a day when the country unites to honor these heroic figures who stood strong for their motherland’s freedom.
Bhagat Singh, an epitome of bravery and patriotism, continues to ignite the fire of revolution within generations with his revolutionary ideologies and acts. His firm commitment to India’s independence and his dauntless demeanor towards the oppressors, immortalizes him in the hearts of the Indian people. His lasting legacy serves as a guiding star for the country’s young minds, constantly reminding them about the need to fight against unfairness.
Shaheed Diwas is commemorated on various occasions in India. In addition to March 23, which honors the day of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, January 30 is also observed as Shaheed Diwas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid his tribute to the freedom fighters on Shaheed Diwas. Sharing a post on X(Twitter), he wrote,”Today the nation is remembering with reverence the martyrdom of Veer Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru, the true sons of Mother India. On Martyr’s Day, salute and respect to him from his family members across the country. Jai Hind!.”
The nation is reverently remembering the sacrifice of these “true sons of Ma Bharti”, Modi said, paying tribute to the trio on ‘Shaheed Diwas’. The three revolutionaries joined hands to oppose British rule, with Singh throwing a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly in April 1929. The bomb was not intended to kill anyone but to highlight their protest. They were hanged on this day in 1931. All three of them were less than 25 years old at the time of their deaths.
