We are observing the Martyrdom Day of Shaheed Udham Singh on July 31. It is a day to remember the history of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and how the event changed the life of Shaheed Udham Singh. He is a historical figure from the pages of the Indian freedom struggle against colonial British rule. General Dyer was given the order to open fire on the crowd that had peacefully gathered to protest the arrest of pro-Indian independence leaders. Shaheed Udham Singh assassinated O’Dwyer, and he was hanged for murder in 1940. The day is observed every year to pay homage to the brave freedom fighters.
International Decora Day
International Decora Day is observed on the last Saturday of July every year and this year, it falls on July 26. This day aims to celebrate the Japanese subculture known as decora fashion, in which people decorate themselves with colors and many accessories. The word ‘decora’ comes from the Japanese word for ‘decoration.’ This Japanese fashion style has become the face of Harajuku fashions internationally. Although the style’s peak was in the mid-2000s, it is still popular and well-known in Harajuku.
