Life is never fair for the soldiers of our country. The way their life is structured is beyond our imagination and we can’t thank them enough for protecting us every second of their lives. Such is the case of Rajan Orang, a 26 year old soldier, who lost his life in Ladakh. His sacrifice is inexplicable and a deserves a big salute.
Rajesh Orang, a 26-year-old Indian Army soldier, is one the 20 soldiers who recently died in the violent clash with Chinese troops in Ladakh. According to the reports, he was the only earning member in his family and was due to return home in May. However, he stayed back due to the lockdown.
Orang was killed on Monday night in Ladakh during violent clashes with Chinese troops in Ladakh. His family is now waiting for his body to arrive at their native village in West Bengal’s Birbhum, says a report by India Today.
Orang was one of the 20 soldiers killed during the brutal face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan valley. He had been a part of the Indian Army for the past six years. He was posted at the 16 Bihar Regiment.
The India Today report adds that Orang was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday after sustaining severe injuries during the face-off. His family was informed of his demise the same evening
Orang came from a poverty-stricken background. He is survived by a sister who was waiting to get married, a bed-ridden father and an inconsolable mother. His family was completely dependent on him for income.
20 Indian soldiers, including a Colonel, have been killed in a “violent face-off” on Monday night with Chinese troops at Galwan Valley in Ladakh. This is the most serious escalation at the Indo-China border region in five decades.
India said the clashes happened “as a result of an attempt by the Chinese side to unilaterally change the status quo there”, rebutting China’s claims that Indian soldiers crossed the border.
This is the first fatal clash since 1975 between India and China, who fought a border war in 1962.
