00:11 From war to life,
00:13 Major D.P. Singh holds four Limca World Records today
00:17 and is a Blade Runner.
00:19 But life has been very different from all this glory.
00:24 On 15th July 1999,
00:28 during the Karkin War,
00:30 Major D.P. Singh was in the Akhnoor sector with his battalion.
00:33 [Explosion]
00:35 An enemy mortar bomb fell on his post,
00:38 leaving him seriously injured.
00:40 Medical authorities declared him dead,
00:43 but he is no ordinary man.
00:45 This is a soldier of the Indian Army
00:48 and with an amputated right leg
00:50 and 73 shrapnels in his body,
00:53 he still thrives.
00:56 Where others would have given up,
00:58 Major D.P. Singh, to date,
01:00 continues to inspire millions of Indians.
01:03 The first solo amputee skydiver,
01:07 a popular choice among celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan
01:10 for his KBC shows,
01:12 a popular news panel specialist,
01:14 and the founder of an NGO for the disabled.
01:18 Life may have been hard for this son of India,
01:22 but Major D.P. Singh is stronger than all the difficulties
01:26 life had to offer.
01:28 Such people inspire us
01:30 and give our lives new motives.
01:33 Jai Hind!
