New Delhi: Perhaps none or maybe some of his descendants. The nation seems to have forgotten its brave son Havildar Abdul Hamid who sacrificed his life to protect the honor of his motherland on 10th September 1965 during the India-Pakistan war.
During the India-Pakistan war Vir Abdul Hamid had blasted several tanks of the enemy country. For his bravery, Hamid was awarded posthumously with the country’s highest military decoration Pram Vir Chakra. His wife Rasoolan Bibi had received the award by Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, then President of India during the 1966 Republic Day Parade.
Abdul Hamid was born at Dhamupur village of Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh on July 1, 1933. Son of Mohammad Usman, Hamid was a soldier in the 4th Battalion, The Grenadiers of the Indian Army.
