Veer Bal Diwas 2025 commemorates the extraordinary sacrifice of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s sons, instilling the story of their courage for generations to come. Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared 26th December as Veer Bal Diwas in 2022 to honor the martyrdom of Sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, whose unwavering bravery continues to inspire the nation.
Remembering the Young Martyrs
The day is dedicated to recalling the supreme courage of the two young sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who faced the brutality of Mughal rulers at an age below ten. They stood firm in their faith, resisting forced conversion, and were ultimately bricked alive into a wall by the Mughal authorities. The tragic news deeply affected their grandmother, Mata Gujri Ji, who passed away upon hearing of her grandchildren’s martyrdom. Veer Bal Diwas serves as a solemn reminder of their selflessness and the importance of standing up for one’s principles, regardless of the cost.
