Jaswant Singh Rawat

Jaswant Singh Rawat, PVC (Posthumous), (19 August 1941 – 17 November 1962) was an Indian Army soldier of the 4th Battalion, Garhwal Rifles who was awarded the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Param%20Vir%20Chakra">Param Vir Chakra</a>, India's highest military decoration, for his gallantry during the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Sino-Indian%20War">Sino-Indian War</a> in 1962.

He was born in village Baryun, Pauri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand. During the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Battle%20of%20Nuranang">Battle of Nuranang</a> in present-day Arunachal Pradesh, Rawat single-handedly held off Chinese forces for 72 hours, allowing his company to withdraw safely. He used multiple weapons and set up diversions to create the illusion of a larger force. He was eventually killed in action. Two local Monpa girls, Sela and Nura, helped him during the war.

A memorial has been built at the site of the battle, and he is revered as a hero by the Indian Army. The post is called <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Jaswant%20Garh">Jaswant Garh</a> in his honour. He is considered a saint by locals.
