On January 28, 1865, Lala Lajpat Rai was born in Punjab. He was a well-known nationalist figure who was crucial to the independence movement in India.

30 January – Martyrs Day or Shaheed Diwas
Every year on January 30th, Martyrs Day or Shaheed Diwas is observed in honour of Mahatma Gandhi and the lives lost by three Indian revolutionaries. As on January 30, 1948, the "Father of the Nation" was murdered. And on March 23, the British hanged three national heroes—Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar—to death.
30 January – World Leprosy Day
On the final Sunday in January, World Leprosy Day is marked to draw attention to the goal of having no children with leprosy-related disorders. As is common knowledge, disabilities develop over time as a result of a chronic illness that has gone misdiagnosed.
Thus, these are the significant national and international holidays of January 2022, which may also aid in exam preparation and knowledge expansion.
