(Martyr’s day 2024)
Today 30th January is the ‘martyr’s day’ where we pay our tributes to all the known and unknown martyrs of this great country. It is well known fact that during freedom struggle of India i.e. Bharat, many people fought against the British Empire and laid down their lives to see their fellow countrymen free. For years together we have grown-up reading stories of our freedom struggle and the great revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives on the way of their fight for freedom of this country.
Today 30th January’2024 is also the seventy-sixth death anniversary of the Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi. He was assassinated on this day in 1948. Gandhiji’s death anniversary is declared as ‘Sarvoday Diwas’ and ‘Shaheed Diwas’ which is observed at national level in India. The other prominent ‘martyr’s day’ is observed on 23rd March remembering the great revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru. Five more ‘martyr’s day’ are observed at regional and national level as detailed below:-
(Till this post I was not aware of the other days observed as ‘martyr’s day’ except 30th January and 23rd March. It is while reading about 30th January that I came across this information which I am sharing below. It is taken from Wikipedia and other sources on internet).

3) 21 October – as Police Martyr’s day observed nation-wide by Police departments in respect of members of Central Reserve Police Force patrol posted at Indo-Tibet border in Ladakh. The Chinese forces ambushed the police personnel in 1958 during the Border Dispute.

8) 26 December is the latest addition to the above list which is celebrated as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ which is observed to pay respects to the four sons of Guru Govind Singh who sacrificed their lives and were buried alive by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1704.
On today’s day we pay our respects and tributes to the all great revolutionaries and the many known and unknown peoples of this country who sacrificed their lives for this great country.
On this occasion I am presenting a song from an ‘Unreleased’ movie from the 1970s.
The title of this movie is ‘Watan Ki Khaatir’.
“Watan Ki Khaatir” was produced under the banner of ‘Mamta Cine International’. There is not information about the director and cast of this movie in HFGK. It only mentions the ‘banner’ and the names of the lyricist and music director for this movie.
The song-list for this movie includes only one song which is being presented here today. Manna Dey is the singer. HFGK also mentions the record label for this song i.e. GCIL-Odeon Label.
Let us listen to this in the voice of Manna Dey. Lyrics are by Shakeel Ahmed. This song is in two parts and only the audio of this song is available.
