Some people are remembered for what they won. Others are remembered for the life they devoted to their calling. Jaspal Rana belonged to the latter category.
For him, shooting was not merely a sport it was a way of life. Few athletes embodied their discipline as completely as he did. Generations of Indians will remember him as a champion shooter, mentor, and one of the pioneers who inspired confidence in India’s shooting movement.
His passing is a profound loss for Indian sport. My thoughts are with his family, friends, students, and the entire shooting fraternity.
May his soul rest in peace.
