Some lines on contribution of Chandra Singh Garhwali in the revolution of india

Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali is remembered in Indian history as the hero of the Peshawar bombing incident. The soldiers of Toil Garhwal Rifles, led by Havildar Major Chandra Singh Garhwali, refused to open fire on the unarmed Pathans fighting for India's independence. Without firing a bullet, without detonating a bomb, there was such a huge explosion in Peshawar that suddenly even the British were stunned. He felt the ground slipping under his feet.

After the end of World War I, many soldiers began to be removed by the British and those who had been promoted during the war, their positions were also reduced. Chandra Singh was also in it. He was also made a soldier from a sergeant, due to which he had made up his mind to leave the army. He was explained by the higher officials that his progress would be taken care of and he was also given some time off. During this time Chandra Singh came in contact with Mahatma Gandhi.

At that time the flame of freedom struggle was burning in full force in Peshawar and the British were trying their best to crush it, for this work they were sent to Peshawar in 1930 and ordered to attack the agitating people. . He flatly refused to shoot at unarmed people. This gave the Garhwali battalion a high status in the Peshawar incident and since then the name of Chandra Singh Garhwali became famous as a patriot and he was considered the hero of Peshawar incident.

These soldiers were prosecuted for not disobeying the British. Later Chandra Singh Garhwali and his soldiers had to face the action of court martial. A well-respected lawyer strongly advocated for the Garhwali soldiers and after tireless legal efforts got their death sentence converted into prison sentence. During this all the property of Chandra Singh Garhwali was confiscated and his uniform was cut off from the body.
