POWER OF AN INDIAN SOLDIER!! #india #respect #indianarmy

by



In 1999, during the fierce battles of the Kargil War, a young and brave Major Devender Pal Singh found himself on the frontlines in Jammu and Kashmir. At just 25 years old, DP Singh was surrounded by the enemy fire from the Pakistani military. Amidst the chaos, a mortar explosion left him critically wounded, with shrapnel tearing through multiple parts of his body.

Rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, DP Singh’s condition was so grave that he was initially declared dead, extinguishing hopes of his survival. However, against all odds, the skilled doctors at the Hospital managed to revive him. Even so, his right leg was severely infected and would need to be amputated. Such a loss could have shattered anyone’s spirit, but Major DP Singh chose a different path.

Instead of succumbing to despair, he decided to redefine his life on his terms. He dreamt of running marathons, a very tough goal for someone with his injuries, but his determination was unwavering. Ten years after his amputation, DP Singh was fitted with a prosthetic metal blade, marking the beginning of a remarkable new chapter.

Embracing his new reality, he defied expectations and started running marathons. Over the years, DP Singh completed 26 half marathons, earning the proud title of India’s first blade runner. His extraordinary achievements and relentless courage were recognized by the Limca Book of World Records, which honored him as one of the “People of the Year 2016.”

  28. SFF set the ropes on the tiger hill which enabled Indian army to ascend the vertical mountain to repel the Pakistani soldiers. However, after the war when media came SFF were instructed like in the past operations to remain behind and not appear. From 1962 until 2019/20 Kargil SSF who sacrifice their life to guard India against external and internal security were never recognized. Even half of SFF were not given pension in the name of cost cutting.
