The use of Shahid should be changed to Shaheed which conveys the pronunciation more clearer.  This is something that needs to brought to the attention of RBI.

Incidentally, there was a punjabi song a while back on why Bhagat Singh’s photo is not there on the Indian currency.   Teri Photo Kyo Nahi Bhagat Singh Lagti Notan te was the name of the song sung by Nishawn Bhullar with music given by Honey Singh.
