Shaeed Bhagat Subgh, Shaheed Sukh Dev , Shaheed Chandra Sekhar Azaad, Shaheed Asfa quill Khan gave up their youth and life for United India.

 In this connection  PM, Modi remembered their courage

My Salutes to these martyrs.

These three young men gave their full support to freedom the country from the British , All these gave up their lives for the country independence only then are we all living independently. They had true love for the country, which is not in today's public. 

Thanks to share this post and link.....

These Martyrs laid down their lives for the sake of this Country.

They died with a smile, when they were hanged in Lahore

Jai Hind

Their story was beautifully captured on screen by Manoj Kumar in his film Shaheed.

Yes.I  Have seen Shahid, produced by Manoj. 

Still those songs are ringing in my ears like Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna and Mera Rang De Basnti etc.

While browsing some articles I came across that even january 30 the is considered as Martyr's day because on jan 30th 1948 Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated and it is considered as the most saddest day. Hence 23rd MArch and 30th Jan are considered as Martyr's Day.

 The hanging of Bhagat Subgh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Rajguru in 1931 spurred many youths to take up revolutionary path, which in turn paved the way to India's India's independence movement.

Their sacrifices are still remembered.

Though many of great freedom fighters like these has given their life for our country, but our history books have knowledge about only few of them, and their life is described in only few lines. Historians have only focused on one or two persons and tried to show that only due to these our country was able to get freedom from British rulers.

Even if the sacrifices made by these Martyrs are not mentioned in History Books, i don't think their greatness will reduce, . The sacrifices made by Bhagat Singh, Sukdev Thapar and Rajguru will remain in the hearts of Indians will remain forever.

School history books will naturally cover limited number of freedom fighters because of obvious limitations. This does not mean others are ignored. Also which ideology is in power also decides to a large extent who will be highlighted.

Yes, the political parties has influenced our historical books.  In some of our history books, authors tried to show these freedom fighters as terrorists.

Really a shame. The Book 'India's struggle for Independence' a part of Delhi University curriculum, refers freedom fighter Bhagat Singh as a revolutionary terrorist.

 I wonder, why this book is not banned.

The term terrorist has today taken a totally different meaning than during Bhagat Singhs time. Bipin chandra is a responsible historian who has written many eminent historical books. Please understand the background and do not being him to our level.

If terror was viewed differently during freedom struggle why do some political leaders continue to call them terrorists even now when terror has taken a different meaning altogether ?

Terming Martyrs like Bhagat Singh is a blunder, at any time

 Martyrs are those blessed people , who laid their lives for the sake of the Country.

No it is not right that Martyrs are not mentioned in History books. In history of books of Punjab and Rajasthan they are martyr. But in government record there three are not martyr.. 

Government History books or Record books are mere blunders. These Government Books or records need not be taken seriously.
