New Delhi: The soldiers of our country are engaged in protecting the borders round the clock. But do you know about that soldier, whose bravery and patriotism are so deep that even 57 years after being martyred, he is serving the country? This is the story of Harbhajan Singh, who is still doing “duty” on the Sikkim border. Harbhajan Singh is known by the army personnel as Baba Harbhajan. There is a temple of him on the border of Sikkim, which the soldiers consider a holy place. They go there to visit and also take care of the temple. Let’s know more about him.

What do Chinese soldiers say about him?

There is a belief about Harbhajan Singh that he is still monitoring the border and gives a hint about any conspiracy of China in advance. Not only this, but Chinese soldiers also fear Baba Harbhajan’s spirit and feel his presence. Whenever there is a meeting between India and China, a chair is kept vacant for Baba Harbhajan. For the army, he is still an active soldier.

What does army say about him?

Baba Harbhajan Singh has been given the status of a soldier by the army. He is also given regular salary, and he also has a rank in the army. Until some time ago, he was sent to his village Punjab on leave every year. There, tickets were booked for him, and his luggage was sent. But later this tradition was stopped due to objections from some people. Now Baba performs duty on the Sikkim border the whole year.

Where is his personal room?

There is a room in Baba Harbhajan Singh’s temple, which is cleaned daily. His uniform and shoes are kept there. Soldiers say that despite daily cleaning, mud is found in the shoes and creases are found on the bed sheets, as if Baba comes there every day.

Who was Baba Harbhajan Singh?

Harbhajan Singh was born on 30 August 1946 in Gujranwala. He could serve in the Indian Army for only two years. One day he was crossing a river on a mule when he was swept away by the strong current. He was searched for two days but his body was not found. Then a fellow soldier had a dream in which Baba told him the location of the body. When the soldiers reached there, they found his body at that exact spot. After this, a temple was built at the place where his bunker was.

This story of Baba Harbhajan Singh is still an example among the Indian Army. The soldiers not only respect him but also believe that he is still protecting the border. On occasions like Independence Day, Baba Harbhajan Singh is mentioned with reverence and pride, as a soldier who is dedicated to serving the country even after his death.
