New Delhi: In a first step for a central armed police force, Central Reserve Police Force or CRPF has decided to honour its jawans and officers killed in action with the prefix 'Shaheed' in their names.
In a similar measure aimed at boosting morale, the previous UPA government had issued orders for categorising the retired personnel from these forces as 'ex-central armed
police forces personnel' on the lines of the three armed forces.
CRPF to Use 'Shaheed' For Troopers Killed in Line of Duty

I have come across objection towards usage of the word "Shaheed", (here in this forum ofcource) Some take it on a religious sense, Actually it is not especially when we use it... It is just a word used for some one who laid down his life for his country.... If some ask Why use Shaheed??? then one can also ask Why not?????
hmmmmm well its good that they atlast considered CRPF people for the title otherwise if i am not wrong they only limited it to Indian army and there had been heated debate over this discrimination in the past.
As far as the use of this word well dont you Indians have any alternate Hindi word for it? since this is not at all a Hindi or even Urdu word.
