Shahid diwas.

 

"Shahid Diwas" is a term used to commemorate the death anniversary of martyrs or "Shahids" who sacrificed their lives for their country or a cause. The term "Shahid" is an Arabic word that means "witness" or "martyr" in English.

In India, "Shahid Diwas" is observed on various dates to pay tribute to the martyrs who fought for the independence of India or for other significant causes. One such "Shahid Diwas" is observed on March 23 to remember the sacrifices made by Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru, who were hanged to death by the British government in 1931 for their involvement in the Lahore conspiracy case.

On this day, people pay homage to the brave heroes who laid down their lives for the nation's freedom and inspire the younger generation to follow in their footsteps. The day is marked by various programs and events, including speeches, parades, flag hoisting ceremonies and other activities that honor the martyrs' memories.
