Veer Bal Diwas

December 27, 2023

The PM recently participated in the Veer Baal Diwas function at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
It is commemorated on 26^th December every year.
The Veer Bal Diwas marks the martyrdom of Sri Guru Gobind Singh’s sons- Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.
The two younger sons were bricked alive on the orders of Aurangzeb’s governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan.
The two elder sons, Sahibzada Ajit Singh and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh both sacrificed their lives in the historic battle of Chamkaur, where a small number of Sikhs took on the huge army of the Mughals and the hill kings.
