Mahatma Gandhi: Every year on January 30, India observes Shaheed Diwas to honour those who gave their lives for the nation.

On this day in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse while on his way to a prayer meeting at Birla Bhawan in Delhi.

His death marked a tragic chapter in India’s history, and since then, the day has been dedicated not only to remembering Mahatma Gandhi but also the countless unsung heroes who sacrificed everything for India’s independence.

Shaheed Diwas serves as a reminder of the value of freedom, patriotism, and courage, highlighting the determination and resilience of those who fought for the nation despite facing immense risks. 

It underscores that independence was achieved through the bravery and perseverance of individuals committed to justice and truth.
