♦ Veer Bal Diwas is celebrated every year on 26 December to commemorate the extraordinary sacrifices made by the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

♦ The poignant tale of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's four sons, Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh, and Baba Fateh Singh is how Veer Bal Diwas was inspired.  

♦ Ajit Singh and Jujhar Singh, the two older sons, bravely gave their lives during the Battle of Chamkaur in December 1705.

♦ The Mughal troops grabbed and brutally coerced their younger brothers, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh.

♦ Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022 declared to mark December 26 as Veer Bal Diwas annually to honour and remember their sacrifice.
