Martyrs Day 2023 in India

Martyrs’ Day is observed on the 30th of January every year to honor all those who sacrificed their lives for the country. This day marks the death anniversary of the Father of Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who was assassinated by Nathuram Godse, a member of Hindu Mahasabha, during one of his routine evening prayers in the Birla House  on the same day in 1948. After India got its freedom, Nathuram Godse assassinated him stating that Gandhi favored the Muslims and was responsible for India-Pakistan partition which led to the loss of thousands of lives. On Martyrs’ day, contributions of Mahatma Gandhi to India’s fight for independence are being celebrated. He led many freedom movements and advocated peace and harmony instead of violence. He was the main reason the Indians were united in their fight against the British.  Thus to honor and pay homage to Gandhiji and all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, Martyrs’ Day is observed throughout the country. Originally the martyrdom of the soldiers while defending the sovereignty of the country during the freedom struggle was remembered on Republic Day, January 26 which then gave way to January 30.

Martyrs Day 2023 Celebration

On Martyr’s Day, the President, the Vice President, the Prime Minister, the Defence Minister, and the three service Chiefs gather at the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat and lay wreaths on the Samadhi decorated with multi-color flowers. The armed forces personnel blow the bugles sounding the Last Post. The inter-services contingent reverses arms as a mark of respect to the martyrs. Apart from the Prime Minister and the chiefs of the armed forces, even the common men are requested to show their gratitude to the martyrs by observing a 2 minute silence from their normal routine of work.

Home Ministry’s Instructions For Observance Of Martyrs’ Day:

  • Silence should be observed and work and movement stopped for two minutes throughout the country at 11 a.m. on January 30.
  • Wherever feasible, the commencement and termination of the two minutes’ silence period should be indicated by the sound of a siren or army guns.
  • On hearing the signal (wherever available), all persons would stand up and observe the silence.
  • At places where no signal is available, suitable instructions can be issued to all concerned for observing the silence for two minutes at 11 a.m.

Apart from two minute silence, talks or speeches on freedom struggle and the national struggle can be organized in hybrid mode.  There is also a tradition of holding all religion prayers and singing tributes for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country.  An honorable salute is also given by the armed forces personnel and inter-services contingent to pay respect to the martyrs.
