Amazing place. Gives a sense of patriotism in yourself once you visit the Subharti Shaheed Smarak & Upwan.
This magnificent place is situated at Subharti University Campus and it is especially filled with the spirit of national pride.
There are many more stories regarding the patriotism of Indian people & many more monuments to glorify that too. Standing at this place all those stories made me remember how privileged & honored the Indians feel when it comes to talk about their patriotism.
