A Look at a Colossus in the Time of Chaos

We had hardly gained Independence when Kashmir turned into a battlefield. Pakistan made repeated incursions to try to capture the Muslim-dominated state. Tall among the soldiers who fought with grit and gumption to lay to nought Pakistan's design was Brigadier Mohammad Usman. He had chosen to stay in pluralist India. Ironically, he lost his life twelve days shy of his 36th birthday, fighting those he had refused to join. A newly born nation saluted the fallen warrior, conferring on him the sobriquet of 'the Lion of Naushera' for his exceptional bravery.
