Significance of Shaheed Diwas
For the uninitiated, Shaheed Diwas is observed every year on March 23, marking the martyrdom of the three revolutionaries, who were executed by the British colonial government in 1931. The day stands as a powerful reminder of their courage, patriotism, and commitment to India’s independence.

Bhagat Singh remains one of the most iconic revolutionaries known for his fearless ideology, while Rajguru and Sukhdev also played key roles in the freedom struggle. Their sacrifice at a young age continues to inspire generations even after 95 years.
