💨 Abstract

Havildar Jhantu Ali Sheikh, a 36-year-old Muslim soldier of the Indian Army's 6 Para Special Forces, was laid to rest in West Bengal with full military honours. Born in poverty in a village near the Bangladesh border, Sheikh joined the Army and became a local hero. He died in an encounter with terrorists in Kashmir, six weeks after celebrating his daughter's birthday at home.
