Gurugram, May 21

Mahashay Parmanand Yadav, 103-year-old freedom fighter, died at Gurugram’s Fazilpur Badli village today. Yadav was a former soldier of Subhash Chander Bose’s Indian National Army.

Born on August 17, 1920, Parmanand was inducted in the British Army in 1940 and was sent to fight in Singapore in 1942. He was eventually inducted in the INA in Japan.

Parmanand had actively participated in the recent Har Ghar Tiranga initiative and was also part of 2018 Republic Day parade. He was cremated at his village with state honours.

“He was the last of the inspiring league. He may have left us but what he lived for will keep inspiring generations not just from village but the entire state,” said Pataudi MLA Satya Prakash Jarawata.
