च्याँदेखि चिहानसम्मको साथी केवल तिम्रो आफ्नो जाति
Shaheed Durga Malla
The Gorkhas are known for their commitment to the nation and they have made great sacrifices to protect its territory and its citizens. The BGP pays homage to these brave souls who have laid down their lives for the country on August 25, the day when Shaheed Durga Malla was hanged by the British in Delhi. However, Balidaan Diwas not only commemorates the martyrdom of Durga Malla, the first Gorkha martyr in the fight against the Colonial British, but also all others who have given their blood in the service of the motherland. So that day, the BGP also pays homage to freedom fighters like Shaheed Dal Bahadur Thapa, Dal Bahadur Giri, Chhabilal Upadhyaya, etc, and to those Gorkhas who have died in fighting enemy soldiers in wars, against terrorists from outside and in extremist-related violence in India.
