Act of Bravery

A recent viral video on Twitter shows Inspector E Rajeshwari rescuing an unconscious man amid the Chennai floods, carrying him to safety on her own shoulders.

“When the government was confused as to how to go about the operation, it was India’s actor, Suniel Shetty who supported us”, said Charimaya Tamang, one of the women rescued in the operation, in an interview.

“It is not just my duty as a civil servant, but also my dharma as a human being, to help the other in need, and I did just that"

Sensing the urgency of the situation, and keeping in mind the delicate condition the woman was in, Kumar decided to enter the danger zone, that is, under the car and help her out of it with minimum damage.

What makes the story even more endearing is that, besides being part of many (bomb) search operations for over a decade, the four were best buddies and inseparable.

Posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, this braveheart cop is a hero that India should not forget about. He was just 32-years-old when he made the supreme sacrifice to defend his unit.

For the last 22 years, this man who runs a humble bhurji-pav stall in Old Tofkhana, Shivajinagar, has saved suicidal people from drowning. Apart from this, he has helped fish out 600 bodies from the Mula-Mutha rivers due to suicides or accidental deaths.

The incident had occurred on Thursday afternoon last week when the bus was heading towards the Kollam jetty from Alappuzha’s KSRTC depot.

While flight would be the natural reaction of most people, one 7-year-old boy became a local hero after rescuing his friend from a vicious leopard attack in the village of Arathiya in the Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat.

The young boy happened to witness a young girl drowning in a pool and crying for help and without a second thought, he jumped in to help!
