Initiated by Gurvinder Singh Chhabra (Vicky) in 2018; now a national tribute to the Sahibzaade.
Shri Gurvinder Singh Chhabra (Vicky), as a Member of the Uttar Pradesh Punjabi Academy, initiated “Veer Bal Diwas” — a day to honor the unparalleled courage, sacrifice, and faith of the four Sahibzaade, the sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
The inaugural program, supported and blessed by Hon’ble CM Shri Yogi Adityanath Ji, featured a grand Kirtan Darbar and Langar Sewa. Over 10,000 devotees participated with devotion and selfless service, making it a deeply spiritual and emotional moment for the Sikh community in Uttar Pradesh and beyond.
Encouraged by the remarkable success of the first edition, celebrations continued in 2019 with an even larger congregation of devotees gathering to remember the Sahibzaade’s supreme sacrifices.
Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, a smaller yet heartfelt program was organized to keep the spirit of remembrance alive. The message of courage and faith continued to inspire during difficult times.
In a moment of national pride, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji officially declared 26th December as “Veer Bal Diwas” — the same date and name conceptualized by Shri Gurvinder Singh Chhabra (Vicky) in 2018.
Veer Bal Diwas began to be commemorated nationwide, uniting people across India in tribute to the Sahibzaade and the timeless values of courage, righteousness, and faith.
Continuing the vision with growing participation, the remembrance of the Chaar Sahibzaade inspired youth and communities to uphold the spirit of seva, unity, and truth.
With divine grace and community support, Veer Bal Diwas has grown into a movement uniting people of all faiths. Under the guidance of Shri Gurvinder Singh Chhabra (Vicky), the day stands as a national tribute to the valor of Sikh history.
The Chaar Sahibzaade — Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji, Sahibzada Jujhar Singh Ji, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji — are revered as the immortal sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who stood as shining examples of unwavering faith, courage, and sacrifice in the face of tyranny.
The elder Sahibzaade, Ajit Singh Ji and Jujhar Singh Ji, laid down their lives valiantly in the Battle of Chamkaur Sahib. The younger Sahibzaade, Zorawar Singh Ji and Fateh Singh Ji, were bricked alive at tender ages for refusing to renounce their faith.
Their supreme sacrifices symbolize Dharma, resilience, and devotion to truth, inspiring millions across generations.
