Martyr Hav. Shere Thapa :: A One Man Army during Indo-China War of 1962

May 05, 2020 0

Biography of SHERE THAPA

Martyr Havildar Shere Thapa

Shere Thapa born in Nepal on 27.12.1928 and later he was enrolled in to Indian Army on 01.01.57 (No 13710603W). He served with Jammu & Kashmir Special Force during 27.12. 45 to 31.12.56 underwent training on MR-I, ACE-I &TTT-1. Before being deployed in Tama Chung area he was promoted as a Havildar on 01.05.1962 and after 6 months of deploying in Tama Chung he was martyred for the nation on 18.11.62. After his death, he left his wife Dilli, daughters – Dhanisara, Syani and Nurma. But interesting thing was that neither his qualification nor his address available in official record.
Havildar Shere Thapa was the part of protective patrol of one platoon strength permanently located near Rio Bridge in Upper Subhansiri Valley of Arunachal Pradesh to keep a strong observer on Chinese movements.  On 18 Nov 1962 at 3:00 pm, about 200 Chinese troops came with the party.  Havildar Shere Thapa was manning a LMG from a vantage point covering the move of the Chinese.  In the fire fight, LMG No 2, who was seriously injured in the fire fight and Hav. Shere Thapa took charge of the LMG. He occupied a well camouflaged position and faced waves of Chinese assaults launched one after the other.
He kept on firing with his LMG till he ran out of ammunition. That brave action of Hav. Shere Thapa delayed the Chinese for nearly 72 hrs.  In this encounter 70 Chinese including a senior officer were killed.  The Chinese radio next day announced a 155 casualty in this encounter. Brave action of Thapa won the hearts of the locals of the area who still hold him in very high esteem.  Even the Chinese recognized his bravery.  They buried his dead body on the spot and kept wooden board near his body with an inscription in Chinese Script appreciating the fighting of Hav Shere Thapa.
The PLA sneaked through the Tama Chung Chung Ridge.  Thapa had positioned himself on a vertical slope-invincible high mountain ridge on one side, steep slope down to the Ngo stream, the source of Subansiri River, on the other side.  He had located the most strategic place, either to stop or kill the advancing Chinese soldiers.  A brave Shere Thapa of Indian Army’s 2 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, hiding in a very advantageous position, fire non-stop as his lone soldier-mate continued changing the carbines.  His LMG boomed relentlessly, like a roaring tiger.
Supply line was cut off following retreat order which never reached the duo.  Left with no food and insufficient ammunition, they feared any eventually and decided to fight till death.  One after another unsuspecting Chinese soldiers were killed and fell into the Ngo River without anyone to count.  Thapa did not notice anymore Chinese after emptying all magazines with the fired brash khokas lying scattered.  He confidently came out of his bunker for a battle.  Death was waiting for him.  He peeped towards the heap of corpses with great satisfaction.  An injured, but an alive Chinese soldier, lying on the heap along with his colleagues fired, killing him instantly. The body of brave soldier of 2 J&K Rifles falls in the leap of motherland.  

At last a question arise that Who was the great solider? Because he had killed 160 jawans of People’s Liberation Army hiding in Tama Chung Chung ridge in Middle sector of Sino-India border under Upper Subansiri district on 18th October 1962. The PLA jawans after killing him had buried his mortal remains with honour. His mortal remains were brought by Lemiking villagers, his last rites performed and a memorial was built by them with great respect.

What is a test tube baby?

May 05, 2020 0


A test tube baby is no different from any other baby. But instead of beginning to grow inside its mother's womb, it begins outside her body in a special machine. An ovum(egg) is taken from the mother and fertilized with the father's sperm in the machine which is called transplanted in the uterus of the mother. 

How are the twins baby born?

May 05, 2020 0



When the sperm of a man enters the ovum of a women the fertilization takes place and the women becomes pregnant. If by chance an ovum divides itself into two parts, the woman delivers two identical children either both boys or both girls. They are called identical or uni-ovular twins. In another possibility if two sperms from the male semen fertilizer two ova of the same woman again two children are born. They are called nonidentical or fraternal twins, because two separate ova have been fertilized. The two children may or may not be of the same sex. They are cases where women have delivered up to ten children at a time.

महामारी :: A Nepali Poem by Dhanmendra Upadhyay

May 03, 2020 0

 (एक)

विकराल सोरमा बजाउँदैछ सिट्ठी
मध्येरातको रित्तो रेल।
मर्दैछन्।मान्छे मर्दैछन्।
धेरै केकेजाति मर्दैछन।
अर्थका अहङ्कार मर्दैछन्।अस्त्रका हुङ्कार मर्दैछन्।
वजन नभएका प्रवचन मर्दैछन्।
मृत्यु सर्ने आतङ्कले परपर सर्दैछन् मान्छे।
शत्रु नचिनेर
शङ्काले तन्किदैछन् आँखा आफ्नै वरिपरि।
आमाबाबुले अँगालोहाल्न सकेका छैनन्
छोराछोरीलाई,पतिले पत्नीलाई।
एक्लिँदैछन् मान्छे आफ्नै घरभित्र।
सुनसान गाउँ सुनसान सहर साइरन बजाएर अलाप्तैछ अस्मिता।

(दुई)

मान्छेले आकाश उक्लन बनाएको बाटैबाटो
सुसेल्दै आयो महामारी
भत्काइदियो पुलहरू।
अहिले थामिएकाछन् मान्छे।दैलामा थामिएकाछन्।
तगारामा थामिएकाछन्।उड्दाउड्दै आकाशमा
गुड्दागुड्दै बसमा हिंड्दाहिंडदै बिच बाटोमा
थामिएकाछन् मान्छे।इलेक्ट्रोनिक रङ्गालयमा
महामारीको सीधा प्रसारण हेरेर, त्यसका पुच्छरमा झुन्डिएका विज्ञापन हेरेर, चाड हो कि बाढ हो ठम्याउन नसकेर
थामिएकाछन् मान्छे पुलुकपालाक गर्दै।

(तीन)

धेरै महामारी आए विचारका
विधानका धेरै महामारी आए
बाङ्गा-सोझा बाटा बनाउँदै
एक्लो पार्न मान्छेलाई निःसङ्ग पार्न
आदम-इभले जस्तै टेरेको थिएन मान्छेले पनि
तर हाय!यस्तो महामारी पनि आयो
स्वइच्छाले एक्लो भइदिनुपर्ने
विचरा सिसिफास मान्छे !

(चार)

यताउता हेर्छ मान्छे
आपतमा अभयको हात एउटा
परमेश्वरको। देख्तैन।
पिराहा पालेलाई साँचो बुझाएर
क्वारेन्टाइनमा स्रष्टा।आँखा चिम्लेर
कान थुनेर।निर्ढुक्क।
आत्मग्लानिको सन्नाटा छाएको
मन्दिर मस्जिदमा,गीर्जा गुरुद्वारामा।
राजा आफै दगुड्दैछ
आफैं गुहार्दैछ प्रजालाई
जनार्दन भन्दैछ जनतालाई
चिउँडामा हात लगाएर हेर्दैछ
जनताको सुख बेचेर किनेका अस्त्र
यत्रो युद्धमा पनि काम नलाग्ने अचल अस्त्र।
अशक्त राजा गुहार्दैछ प्रजालाई
नाङ्लो ठट्टाएर हात्ती धपाउन
गुहार्दैछ औंलो पोलेर उज्यालो पार्न घर।
बिचरा मान्छे
गरिदिन्छ सम्मोहित झैं जे भनो त्यै।
अनि फेरि वास्तवको मझेरीमा उभ्भिएर
यताउता हेर्छ
आँखाले भ्याउन्जेल
आपतमा अभयको हात एउटा........
टाडा कतै झिसमिसेमा देख्छ
उड्दैछन सेता पखेटा हरिया आँखा भएका देवदुतहरू
दिलोज्यान दिएर लडदैछन् शत्रुसँग
अर्वाचीन चरकहरू लडदैछन्
मृत्युको आगोमा फीनिक्स जन्मिने भरोसाले

बिहानै उठेर नङ काट्तै रै'छे छोरी
'बाबु, नङ काट्नु नङ काट्नु
आफ्नै रगत मासु खाएर
नङ जस्तै बढ्छ महामारी
नङ काट्नु नङ काट्नु'

मन संग मन मिल्यो  , हात मिलेन
तिम्रो मेरो कुरा मिल्यो, जात मिलेन ।
.
मैले छुको तिम्रो घरमा नचल्ने रे
धान चामल चैँ मिल्यो , भात मिलेन ।
.
मायाको नसा सबैको एउटै  लाग्थ्यो
 तिम्रो र मेरो मायाको मात मिलेन ।
.
तिम्रो लागि भनी गएको तिम्रो घरमा
दिउँसो चैँ  बास मिल्यो , रात मिलेन ।
.
 मान्छे ठुलो दिलले ,जातले हैन रे
तिम्रो घरमा चैँ कस्तो खात मिलेन।।
