Martyrs' Day 30 JAN 2021
India observes 2 Martyr’s Days or Shaheed Diwas every year. January 30 and March 23 to honour the sacrifices made by Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and countless other brave Indian freedom fighters who fought for the independence, glory and welfare of India. India and 15 other countries in the world celebrate Martyr’s Day to give respect to the courageous champions.
1st Martyr Day or Shaheed Diwas:
Mahatma Gandhi, The Father of the Nation and the most renowned name in the history of India's freedom struggle was assassinated by Nathuram Godse in the Birla House on January 30, 1948.
2nd Martyr Day or Shaheed Diwas:
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were executed in Lahore for their revolutionary actions against the British empire on March 23, 1931. The trio was condemned to death for conspiring to kill a British police officer, John P Saunders. The execution happened a day before the scheduled date.
Here's a look at some of the inspirational quotes by Mahatma Gandhi:
"If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We need not wait to see what others do"
"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave"
"An ounce of practice is worth a thousand words"
"A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes"
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes"
"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children"
