New Delhi, December 25, 2025 – The Arya Samaj observed the 99th martyrdom day of Swami Shraddhanand with great fervor. On this occasion, the Arya Samaj launched a year-long nationwide campaign, ‘SwamiShraddhanand@99th’, highlighting his pioneering contributions to the upliftment of the downtrodden, orphans, and value-based education.
As part of the campaign, memorial programs, thematic lectures, and school-level activities were organized across the country through DAV institutions, Arya Samaj centers, and affiliated organizations.
Shri Harsh Malhotra, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs and Road Transport & Highways, Kapil Khanna, President, Vishva Hindu Parishad, Delhi, and Shri Praveen Khandelwal, MP from Chandni Chowk constituency, flagged off a grand procession from Balidan Bhawan, New Market to Ram Lila Maidan, which was attended by over 10,000 people.
The program was presided over by J K Khattar, and Shri Vinay Arya, General Secretary, Delhi Arya Samaj, said, “Swami Shraddhanand was not just a nationalist or an educationist, but a frontline social reformer who created real spaces for the most vulnerable sections of society to live with dignity, security, and self-respect.”
Swami Shraddhanand was assassinated on December 23, 1926, by an Islamic extremist, Abdul Rashid, in an attempt to thwart his efforts towards Hindu social reform and the Shuddhi movement.
