"Squad Motivator" 47-Year-Old BSF Jawan To March At Rajpath For 18th Time
For 47-year-old BSF soldier Dara Singh marching on the Rajpath for a record 18th time today, it is just a small tribute to his namesake and the iconic wrestler. Mr Singh, who first put his foot on the historic road in the national capital on January 26, 1996, is addressed as "Chacha" and "Sir" by the greenhorn troopers of various marching contingents from the paramilitary and defence forces.
