In India, there are five days declared as Martyrs’ Day. They are named in honour of those who laid down their lives for the nation. Of these, the first falls on January 30, the day when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. Mahatma Gandhi led the struggle for Independence that culminated in India getting freedom from British Rule on August 15, 1947. Bapu, as he was lovingly called, played one of the most prominent roles in India’s freedom struggle and strived to attain freedom through non-violence and peaceful methods.
