Bhagat Singh's Martyrdom day is 23-March-1931

I received message on last year's(2010) valentine day from one of my close friend, message read something like this, "Shaheed Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for country on 14-Feb-1931 and we are condemned to forget the date, and we are celebrating it as Valentines day"

Being ardent follower of Indian History, I immediately called up my friend and told him, this is damn fake JuSMS and the correct date is 23-March-1931.

This year, the sms came again, now from someone else. Few colleagues of mine were talking about this. I tried to tell as many as can, but to realize that this fake SMS has travelled far to read news in next days newspaper.

News says so called tech savvy people are trying to edit Martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh on Wikipedia and they are making it 14th February. The administrators had to re-correct date so many times, and now they have decided to lock up the page.

This is absolutely stupid behaviour, we are getting some hoax mails, SMS and everyone is just spreading it without verifying the truth.

If someone sends such stupid message to me, then I am definitely going to correct his/her mistake.

If we are not creating History with our deeds, we should not be at least distorting it...
