The martyrdom of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru is a significant historical truth acknowledged by the Indian government. Their contributions form a vital part of India’s freedom discourse, and their names are immortalized, irrespective of their official recognition as martyrs.

India recognizes the undeniable reality of freedom fighters' sacrifice, such as Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru during the independence movement, as a matter of historical fact, the Lok Sabha was informed on Tuesday.

In response to inquiries about the status of many freedom fighters not officially recognized as martyrs, Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar emphasized that their contributions are integral to India's freedom discourse and celebrated in history. He stressed that these fighters' names are inscribed in the cultural and historical fabric of India.
