We are in the process of gathering additional information about this fallen soldier and are putting painstaking efforts in scouring the data available in public domain, towards that end. You may appreciate that it is a humongous task to curate the information about all the martyrs since 1947 and the endeavor demands huge amount of time and resources. Thus, we need the support of the martyr’s family members, former Unit or Formation colleagues, other comrades and friends in this regard. Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational. The information may be in the form of text, photographs or video clips and may be sent as and when available, since the information is dynamically updated.
We would immensely appreciate your valuable assistance in sharing your knowledge about the inspirational journey of this spirited soldier. We look forward to your help in our mission of spreading awareness about the sacrifices of the fallen heroes of our Armed Forces, who gave it all for our brighter tomorrow.

2026 at 3:34 pmWe were the same termers having joined RIMC in January of 1963. He passed out as Section Commander of Shivaji Section of which I too was in. We used to play a lot of chess games together and I was shocked to learn of his passing from IAF Officer, the late Keshav Gopal Bewoor, whom I met in Wellington (Nilgiris) about 1989 to offer my condolences when I learnt of the passing of his father, the late General G.G. Bewoor.
