Captain "Baba" Harbhajan Singh (30 August 1946 – 4 October 1968)[1] was an Indian armysoldier. He is revered as the "Hero of Nathula" by soldiers of the Indian army, who built a shrine in his honour. He was accorded the status of saint by believers who refer to him as the "Baba" (saintly father). Many of his faithful - chiefly Indian army personnel posted in and around the Nathu La and the Sino-Indian border between the state of Sikkim and Chinese Tibet - have come to believe his spirit protects every soldier in the inhospitable high-altitude terrain of the Eastern Himalayas. As with most saints, the Baba is believed to grant favours to those who revere and worship him. He is said to be protecting the country even after death.
Life and military careerEdit

Baba Harbhajan Singh was born into a Sikhfamily on 30th August  1946 in the village of Sadrana in district Gujarawala punjab (Pakistan) (now known as village bathebhaini of patti in district tarn taran punjab (India). He completed his preliminary education at a village school, and then matriculated from DAV High School in Patti, Punjab in March 1965. He enlisted as a soldier in Amritsar and joined the Punjab regiment.[1]Death and associated legendEdit

He was killed in 1968 near the Nathu La in eastern Sikkim, India. Harbhajan Singh's early death at the age of 22 is the subject of legend and religious veneration that has become popular folklore among Indian Army regulars (jawaans), the people of his village and apparently soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) across the border guarding the Indo-Chinese border between Sikkim and Tibet. [2]

The official version of his death is that he was a victim of battle at the 14,500 feet (4,400 m) Nathu La, a mountain pass between Tibet and Sikkim where many battles took place between the Indian Army and the PLA during the 1965 Sino-Indian war.[
