No one knows how many martyrs are there in Nepal, but everyone knows these 4. Why?

Today is National Martyrs Day, a day devoted to all the martyrs of Nepal. On this day, Nepalis remember and honour the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the establishment of democracy in the country.

In Nepal, probably no one knows how many martyrs are there in Nepal as every year the government keeps on declaring new martyrs. A few years ago, the demand to declare someone a martyr used to be a joke.
