The
Heritage
Homage to Freedom
Fighters
Punjab had
made great sacrifices in the freedom struggle of India and it is full of
Memorials to such martyrs and also to the heroes of INDO-PAK
WARS.
Jallianwala Bagh
Martyr's Memorial Amritsar:
Unprovoked massacre of peaceful people by Brig-En Dyer had
created a watershed in the history of freedom struggle in India when
even peaceful leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, instead of asking for
dominion status within the British Empire had begun to agitate for
complete freedom for India from the British rule. Queen Elizabeth and
her husband placed a wreath here on 14th Oct.,1997.
Martyrs: Bhagat Singh,
Sukhdev and Rajguru Memorial, Ferozepur
They were such popular heroes that
the
Imperial Govt. executed them stealthily at
Lahore and their bodies were cremated on
the bank of river
Sutlej almost a hundred
km away.
The Sargarhi Memorial at
Ferozepur
It commemorates
the battle which took place on Samna Ridge of the Hindu Kush and
Suliaman ranges in 1897 when 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikh (later 4 Sikh)
regiment had died fighting to the last man against a several times greater force of the local
Chiefs. The history of this battle is taught in the French Schools and
forms part of the 8 narratives of collective bravery published by
UNESCO.
Desh Bhagat
Hall, Jalandhar
It is a
memorial of freedom fighters, also, contains the best library on the
subject.
