Shaheed Diwas is a day when we remember and pay tribute to the people who gave up their lives for India’s freedom. We do this on January 30th and March 23rd.
On January 30th, we remember Mahatma Gandhi, who was a very important leader in India’s fight for independence. He believed in using non-violence and peace to achieve our freedom. Unfortunately, on this day, he was assassinated.
On March 23rd, we commemorate Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. They had a more revolutionary approach and were willing to use force to fight against British colonial rule. Sadly, they were executed by the British in 1931. Their sacrifice symbolizes India’s struggle against colonial oppression.
