Shaheed Diwas is associated with the turning points in India's independence movement. It is a day that is particularly notable in history that made many Indians more determined to resist British empire. Screaming slogans "Inquilab Zindabad," Sukhdev Thapar, Shivaram Rajguru, and Bhagat Singh threw grenades at the Central Legislative Assembly on April 8, 1929.                                                                                                                                                                

After being arrested, they were accused of murder. The three freedom fighters were hung on March 23, 1931.
