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.

    I studied with Shamay Singh in 9th and 10th standard at St. Georges College, Agra. Shamay Singh was sprinter in school. We have a whatsapp group where many of us classmates are still in touch. We also have a class photo with Shamay Singh in it.

    Shamay and I were closest of friends at St Georges Agra. We were so close that he was not welcome at my home and I was unwelcome in his, which we didn’t care for. His dad a Colonal then Hoshiyar Singh is a decorated para soldier and last I met him was in Mathura Cantt. While he left for the Army I moved on to engineering and ended up takin 2 very different paths and the last time he visited my home at Agra was immediately after his marriage and met my mom as I was away in Delhi. What a fine young buddy he was. I came to know about this misfortune in the same India Today article Ranjan has shared above and later his sister relayed the incident through a common friend. There are too many Stories of that time that are very personal but he was always driven, held the high moral attitude and was gone too soon. I believe he had a child that was born after the fact.
