| Youngest Civilian Warrior | | | Army recently honoured a 10-year old boy, Shravan Singh from Tara Wali, a small border village in Punjab’s Ferozepur district for exhibiting exemplary courage and patriotism during “Operation Sindoor.”
Amid heightened tensions along the Indo-Pak border, when most civilians sought safety indoors, Shravan stepped forward to support Army soldiers, earning him widespread acclaim and the title of “the youngest civilian warrior of Operation Sindoor.”
During the intense cross-border hostilities that followed India’s precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) from May 7 to May 10, 2025, Shravan braved drone attacks and the looming threat of shelling to deliver essential supplies to soldiers stationed in his family’s fields near the International Border. For ten consecutive days, the young boy provided milk, lassi, water, and ice to troops deployed in the area, boosting their morale during a critical military operation.
Shravan’s selfless service undertaken in a war-like environment, has resonated across the country, with social media platforms flooded with images of him being felicitated for his courage and patriotism.
A 10-year old boy has led from the front and has set an example that the age doesn’t matter when it comes to serving the nation in the hour of crisis.
In honoring Shravan, the Indian Army has rightly celebrated a rare act of valor, one that goes beyond the battlefield. His contribution may not be measured in military strategy or weaponry, but in morale, which is often the invisible backbone of successful military operations. In difficult conditions this 10-year-old’s unwavering service brought a human touch to the otherwise grim face of conflict. His efforts reminded the soldiers that they were not alone; that the people they were protecting stood firmly with them—even if that person was just a child.
Shravan’s bravery also underscores the profound bond between India’s armed forces and its civilian population. Border villages like Tara Wali often find themselves on the frontlines, not just geographically, but emotionally and psychologically. The resilience shown by its residents adds a layer of depth to our understanding of national defense. It is not just the men in uniform, but also ordinary citizens who become extraordinary in extraordinary times.
The overwhelming response on social media to Shravan’s story is a testament to the impact of his courage. Images of him being felicitated by Army officers have gone viral, triggering a wave of national pride. In Shravan, many see not just a boy but a symbol of fearless patriotism and selfless service. |
