On the day of the Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, on January 9, 2022, Prime Minister Modi announced that December 26 would be marked every year as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ to mark the martyrdom of his sons, Sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji.
The day also marks the birth anniversary of Udham Singh, a revolutionary who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and Amritsar on Baisakhi in 1919 by killing General O’Dwyer, who ordered his forces to open fire on peaceful protesters in March 1940. Shaheed Udham Singh was later hanged by the British in London.
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre on April 13, 1919, left a life-long impact on Udham Singh.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a programme marking ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ at the state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on Tuesday, further advancing his idea of ‘Sabka Saath’.
