His name was Hangpan Dada.
He was born on October 2 1979 in Borduria village, Tirap district, Arunachal Pradesh, the youngest of six children in a Nocte tribal family.
As a child he ran several kilometres every morning and did twenty-five push-ups before school. He joined the Indian Army at eighteen.
He served in the Parachute Regiment, then transferred to the Assam Regiment and later joined the Rashtriya Rifles, the Army's dedicated counter-insurgency force. His comrades called him Dada.
On the night of May 26 2016, Havildar Hangpan Dada was leading a section at a post called Sabu, high in the Shamsabari ranges in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir, at an altitude of approximately 13,000 feet.
Intelligence indicated that a group of heavily armed Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control.
Dada established a stop along the route they were expected to take. When the terrorists appeared, he charged.
He killed the first two in direct contact. The third came at him as the group slid down the slope toward the LoC and he killed him in a hand-to-hand fight. The fourth terrorist, hiding behind a boulder, opened fire. A burst of automatic fire hit Dada in the neck.
He continued to pin down the fourth terrorist, preventing his escape, before he lost consciousness.
He died from his injuries. The fourth terrorist was later captured.
Havildar Hangpan Dada was 36 years old. He is survived by his wife Chasen Lowang Dada, a daughter named Roukhin and a son named Senwang.
He was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry decoration. His wife received it from the President of India at the Republic Day ceremony in 2017.
The Assam Regimental Centre named its main office block after him. A school, a memorial and a museum stand in Borduria village.
Most Indians have never heard his name.
Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
