Nimrat Kaur Instagram – On Papa’s 72nd Birth Anniversary today, Mama, my sister and I inaugurated a memorial in his name honouring not only his but 12 other gallant soldiers’ supreme sacrifice for the nation all hailing from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. A dream my family and I dreamt of 30 years ago since we lost him in Jammu and Kashmir in 1994, finally came true.
Papa was a son of the soil, born to a farmers’ family in Mohanpura village. He led, lived and died by example, fearless and fierce till his last breath. Words fail me today to express the pride I feel standing on this soil, in his birthplace witnessing immortalising his name and life story to inspire present day and future generations.
My sincerest gratitude for the relentless efforts and support from the civil administration in close co-ordination with the local army personnel stationed here.
Also a heartfelt thanks to Mr Thomas John Kovoor of Studio Sukriti in Jaipur for his patience through the meticulous sculpting journey executing such a flawless job and breathing life into my father’s sculpture with such keen attention to detail.
Happy Birthday to my Papa.
Long live my father’s name and long live his legacy…Jai Hind 🙏🏼🇮🇳 @indianarmy.adgpi | Posted on 25/Oct/2024 16:29:57
