**New Delhi, December 25, 2024** – India will observe Veer Bal Diwas on December 26th, commemorating the unwavering courage and martyrdom of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh (9) and Sahibzada Fateh Singh (6), the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru.
The brothers were brutally executed in 1705 by the Mughal army under Wazir Khan for refusing to renounce their Sikh faith. Their unwavering devotion in the face of immense pressure serves as a powerful symbol of faith and resilience.
Veer Bal Diwas serves not only as a day of remembrance but also as an inspiration, particularly for young people, to stand firm in their beliefs. The government is promoting educational initiatives to ensure future generations understand the significance of this historical event and the invaluable lessons it imparts. The day encourages the values of courage, integrity, and unwavering conviction against all odds.
