The history of Nepal is written with the sacrifices of martyrs. In honor of the brave martyrs who gave their lives to establish democracy, freedom, and civil rights in the country, Martyrs’ Day is observed every year on the 16th of Magh. This day is not merely a formal occasion; it is a sacred opportunity to remember the soul of the nation.

At a time when it was difficult to raise one’s voice against injustice, oppression, and tyranny, the martyrs courageously stood for truth. From immortal martyrs such as Shukraraj Shastri, Dharmabhakta Mathema, Dashrath Chand, and Gangalal Shrestha, to all known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their lives during various movements and transformations, their contributions have been invaluable in shaping today’s Nepal.

The dream of the martyrs was not limited to a change in governance alone; they envisioned equality, justice, freedom, and a dignified life for all. The rights and opportunities we enjoy today are the result of their blood and sacrifice. Therefore, Martyrs’ Day is not only a day to pay tribute, but also a day to reaffirm our commitment to realize the dreams they once saw.

Honoring the martyrs should go beyond words; it requires us to become honest, responsible, and nation-loving citizens. Preserving national unity, social harmony, and democratic values is the truest tribute to their sacrifice.

In conclusion, we offer our heartfelt homage to all the martyrs who dedicated their lives for a bright future of the nation and its people.
Martyrs are immortal, and their sacrifice will remain immortal forever.
