Third-gen army personnel Sepoy Karanvir Singh martyred in encounter in Kashmir

Sepoy Karanvir Singh's father Ravi Kumar retired as Subhedar Major from 22- Rajput Regiment.

Another son of the state of Madhya Pradesh, Sepoy Karanvir Singh laid his life for the nation. Karanvir was a member of the team which was involved in an encounter with ultras in Shopian District. Two terrorists were killed in the operation while the Army suffered one casualty, Sepoy Karanvir Singh from Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.

Karanvir Singh was a native of Rampur Baghelan village which comes under the Satna district. The 24-year-old warrior had killed one of the terrorists before succumbing to his bullet injuries. Karanvir Singh was a member of the 21 Rajput 44 Regiment and was posted with his unit in Shopian. Karanvir's father and grandfather have both served in the Indian Army. His father Ravi Kumar had retired as Subhedar Major from the 22 Rajput Regiment in 2017.

Karanvir Singh joined the army four years back and it was his birthday on this ill-fated day. His father said that he is proud to have a son who has laid his life for his nation. According to Satna SP, the warrior’s last rites will be conducted in his village of Rampur Baghelan. His body will be airlifted from Srinagar to Satna on 21 October after military honours.

While Karanvir’s father true to his military etiquette stoically took to the devastating news, his mother is inconsolable and more because it was her son’s birthday. Grandfather Surya Pratap Singh and Grandmother Lilawati are proud of their grandson who bravely fought the terrorists and laid his life in the service of Mother India.

It is also a coincidence that in the year, Ravi Kumar retired as Subhedar Major from the 22 Rajput Regiment, the same year Karanvir joined 22 Rajput as a Jawan. Karanvir had updated his Facebook status with the message-“I miss You friends” on 20 February. Karanvir was also a big fan of Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and had tagged his photo with a message - 'Aap Bahut Yaad Ayenge' (You will always be remembered).

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
