The inspiring story of Indias Blade Runner, Major D P Singh On July 15, 1999, a young major was grievously injured in Kargil during Operation Vijay. Surgeons declared him dead in the army hospital; then managed to save him after amputating his leg. Today, that same soldier has run 12 half marathons, a feat as miraculous as it is inspirational. Every time he crosses that finish line, Major D P Singh doesnt merely win a battle against his beleaguered body -- he sets new standards of bravery and endurance for people like us. When I learnt Id lost my leg, I told myself that this would be yet another challenge in my life, says Singh. He endured 10 painful years of recuperation thereafter. I just couldnt get used to the sympathetic glances I used to get from people. After a while, I was desperate to change that, he says. Although in his earlier days hed been more into rally sports, Singh decided to take up running.
