Meaning of Shaheed is a muslim who died while doing Jihad.
"It is used as an honorific for Muslims who have died fulfilling a religious commandment, especially those who die wielding jihad, or historically in the military expansion of Islam."

As far as I know Indian Army doesn't do Jihad but protect a largely Hindu secular nation. So why do we use shaheed?
What do you think can be a proper alternative for martyrs?
