Root of the word "Shahid" or "Shahadat" is Shahadah or the Muslim declaration of belief in Allah and his prophet.
Shahid is one who wages Holy War for Shahadah and dies, getting a fast ticket to Islamic heaven.
Let's not corrupt our language. We have #Veergati.

Since we don't have religious belief based "holy war" there is no equivalent.
The closest would be dharma veer—a warrior for righteousness.
