Today is 23rd March, a day that is remembered as the day of martyrdom of the three young and brave sons of this earth, Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru. In 1931, the supreme sacrifice that these young men in their twenties chose to make for the cause of our nation, became an inspiration for the subsequent generations – a ideal that still arouses the patriotic fervor.
