VEER KUNWAR SINGH : THE LION OF BIHAR

The 23^rd April is celebrated all over Bihar as “Kunwar Singh Vijayotsav Diwas” every year. India’s First War of Independence had countless martyrs who made Mother India proud. One of them was Veer Kunwar Singh the ‘Lion of Bihar’ who did not only make the country proud by his bravery but taught the lesson of selfless service to nation and selfless patriotism . In a famous incidence while crossing the Ganga while he was severely injured Babu Veer Kunwar cut off his right arm and offered it as his sacrifice to mother Ganga. It is an eye opener for today’s declining selfless devotion and service to nation. Nation is not for only fulfilling our desire but it is to be served and decorated with peace and love. There should be perfect harmony between citizens and Government and proper balance between their responsibilities and duties. Our nation is in a great need for such patriotic people who will fill the vacuum of selfless service and devotion for our nation just like like Kunwar Singh. Kunwar Singh’s bravery and devotion gives befitting lesson to the Kashmiri separatists that when there is threat upon the integrity and sovereignty of our motherland then every Indian can act as Veer Kunwar Singh.
