@arya_saloni18@MaiHoonItachi Hardly matters. He might be the brilliant one, but the exam is very very uncertain. You never know which stage you are gonna flunk despite clearing it earlier with significant margin.
His name is Major Deependra Singh Sengar.
He grew up in Jalaun district, Uttar Pradesh. Studied at Sainik School Rewa. Commissioned into the Indian Army’s Parachute Regiment Special Forces in 1991. His fellow soldiers called him Rocket.
In 1998, during an anti insurgency operation in Guwahati, he eliminated two militants and was hit by two bullets that tore through his abdomen. Doctors said recovery would take 18 to 24 months. He was back in action in one year.
During recovery, he sneaked out of hospital wearing a colostomy bag, hired a car, and travelled five hours to attend a colleague’s wedding.
When the Kargil War began, he went back into combat. He led his team to capture Neelam Post, the highest post captured by the Indian Army in the entire Kargil engagement.
In September 1999, an AK 47 burst shattered his hip bone. He barely survived. The doctors told him he would never walk again.
He lay on a hospital bed on traction and studied mathematics eight hours a day. A nursing assistant sent his twelve year old son to help him with calculations. Six months later, Sengar hobbled on crutches to a CAT examination centre.
He cleared CAT. Received admission offers from 15 of India’s top 16 business schools. He chose IIM Ahmedabad. Attended every class on crutches. Interned at Lehman Brothers in Tokyo. Graduated with distinction.
He went on to work at Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Genpact and Microsoft. He walked without crutches a decade after doctors said he never would.
He received 12 military medals including a gallantry award. In 2021, ZEE5 made a web series on his life called Jeet Ki Zidd.
Two bullets could not stop him. A shattered hip could not stop him. The doctors could not stop him.
He just kept going.
Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.
Less documented, but even more horrific things happened in othr areas of PoJK like Pallandari, Trappi village (Sudhanoti), Hattian Dupatta in Muzaffarabad.
And people frm all communities be it Brahmins (incl my mom's grandfather), Khatris or Sikhs- in these areas wr persecuted.
Bal K Gupta in his book has mentioned an interesting thing that PoJK rebels hated the Sikhs & Trading community (Mahajans & khatris)the most apart from the ruling Dogra class.
Some excerpts relating to this from his book which gives chilling account of events in Mirpur 47:-
सभी देशवासियों को भगवान परशुराम जयंती की बहुत-बहुत शुभकामनाएं। शस्त्र और शास्त्रों के दिव्य ज्ञान के लिए पूजनीय भगवान परशुराम की कृपा से हर किसी का जीवन साहस और सामर्थ्य से परिपूर्ण रहे, यही कामना है।
My ancestors belonged to those 80℅ of the Brahmins in the erstwhile Poonch Jagir (highest %age in J&K even till 1947).
Tribal raids & rebellions, instigated by Pakistan, against Dogra forces in Oct 1947 led to the killings & migration of Poonchi Brahmins n other Hindus & Sikhs
Among the erstwhile State subjects in the Princely State, Brahmins constituted the largest element among both the Hindu Jammuites as well as Dogras (Dogri speaking Hindus) ranging from 22% of Hindus in Udhampur, 23% in Mirpur, 27% in Jammu, 30% in kathua to 34% in Reasi
#Brahmins
@MCAlooster Perceptions are often deceptive!
People outside of J&K, who have social media as their primary source of knowledge,hardly know the ground realities (equally true for the policymakers in Delhi).
Can anticipate tough times ahead, esp with assembly elections around the corner.
@paurikhal_ki The problem is with people who rely on reels to know Osho. There is plethora of literature and his recordings available to gain much deeper insight into his perspective. But again nobody wants to burn some brain cells.
