Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali-'Superhero of Peshawar'- Birthday Special!

Mahatma Gandhi once said-''If I had one more Chandra Singh Garhwali, then India would have become Independent much earlier. ”
Chandra Singh Garhwali was born on 25th December, 1891 in village Ranisera (Masau), Thalisain in the district of Pauri Garhwal. He is known popularly as the 'Superhero of Peshawar Kand' and thus Veer has been added to the name, Chandra Singh Garhwali. After his primary education at home he joined the India army, but even though he was serving the colonial power he remained at heart a staunch nationalist and had his sympathies with the heroes of the freedom movement. His meeting with Gandhiji and the Gandhian influence on him follows an interesting anecdote.
