Tribute to the martyrs on Martyrdom Day

This date, March 23, has a great significance for Indians and Indian freedom struggle. This day, on 1931, three brave heroes of this soil, Saheed Shivaram Rajguru, Saheed Sukhdev Thapar and Saheed Bhagat Singh, were hanged for life for fighting against the British colonialism.
