Every year on March 23, India observes "Martyr's Day" or "Shaheed Diwas," in order to pay tribute to the three revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, who were hanged by the British.

• The day has a historical significance as it marks the day they were hanged in 1931 while fighting for India’s independence.
• India also observes Martyr's Day on January 30 in memory of Mahatma Gandhi. Politicians including the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu paid homage to the freedom fighters, and observed a two-minute silence in their memory.
