Pramod Kapahi also paid tribute to Brigadier Rajendra Singh and remembered him. Kapahi said that Brigadier Rajendra was such a brave man of Maharaja Hari Singh’s army who saved Kashmir by stopping the Pakistani army and tribesmen in Uri in Baramulla.
Born on June 14, 1899, Brigadier Rajendra was an expert in sensing every move of the enemy and a skilled strategist. The infantry of the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir considers him as their source of inspiration. The Pakistan Army attacked on 22 October 1947 under the cover of the tribals as part of a conspiracy to capture Kashmir. Then Brigadier Rajendra Singh, the Chief of Staff of Maharaja Hari Singh’s army, took the front to stop five thousand enemy soldiers in the Uri sector with a contingent of 100 soldiers. He stopped the enemy for five days. To stop the enemies, he blew up the bridges in the area. On 26 October 1947, he sacrificed his life along with many of his comrades.
Naryan Singh ji said that the army is impressed with the strategy of Brigadier Rajendra Singh. With a few soldiers, he kept the enemies many times more in number than himself engaged until the Indian Army reached Kashmir. For this, he was awarded the highest honor, the Mahavir Chakra. If he had not been able to stop the enemy, the history of Jammu and Kashmir would have been different today.
