PM Modi leads Veer Baal Diwas at Bharat Mandapam, honoring the martyrdom of Sahibzades Zorawar & Fateh Singh with nationwide events for youth.

"Their martyrdom... remains one of the most poignant chapters in India's history. - Government Statement"

New Delhi, Dec 25

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in the national event marking 'Veer Baal Diwas' on December 26.

The programme is scheduled to begin at around 12:15 PM at Bharat Mandapam, where the Prime Minister will also address attendees.

'Veer Baal Diwas' is observed to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the Sahibzades - Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji - the young sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Their martyrdom, at a tender age, remains one of the most poignant chapters in India's history, symbolising unwavering courage in the face of tyranny.

The annual observance was first announced by PM Modi during the Prakash Purab of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in January 2022.

To mark the occasion, the government of India is rolling out a series of participatory events across the country.

These include storytelling sessions, poetry recitations, poster-making and essay-writing competitions, all designed to engage children and young people with the legacy of the Sahibzades.

Activities will be held in schools, Anganwadi centres, Child Care Institutions and other learning spaces, with additional online programmes hosted on the MyGov and MyBharat portals.

The event at Bharat Mandapam will also see the presence of recipients of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP), adding a special touch to the day's proceedings.

'Veer Baal Diwas' is observed to honour the courage and sacrifice of the Sahibzades, whose martyrdom remains a defining chapter in India's history and continues to be remembered across generations.

While honoring historical bravery is important, I hope the focus remains on the universal message of courage against oppression, rather than being politicized. The educational activities for children sound wonderful.

Waah! This is fantastic. Our history is full of such inspiring tales that often don't get enough attention in regular curriculum. My kids participated in the essay competition last year and learned so much. More power to such initiatives!

The sacrifice of Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji gives me goosebumps every time I read about it. So young, yet so firm in their faith. It's good that a national day reminds us of their legacy. Jai Hind!

As someone relatively new to Indian history, I find this fascinating. The concept of a day dedicated to child martyrs is powerful. The online portals like MyGov are a good resource for people like me to learn more.

I appreciate the effort, but I do have a respectful criticism. While commemorating is good, are we doing enough to actually embody the courage and integrity the Sahibzades showed? Sometimes these events feel like a formality. The real tribute would be building a society based on those principles.
