"KASHMIRI HEROES OF INDIAN INDEPENDENCE: MAQBOOL SHERWANI"
#MaqboolSherwani of
#Baramulla, Kashmir, became a symbol of resistance during the 1947 invasion by Pakistani tribesmen.
In October 1947, as invaders advanced towards
#Srinagar, he courageously misled them, buying valuable time for the
#IndianArmy to secure the region.
A staunch nationalist, Sherwani had earlier defied Jinnah in 1944, disrupting his rally with the stirring words, "Sher-i-Kashmir ka kya Irshad? Hindu, Muslim, Sikh Ithaad," embodying his unwavering commitment to communal harmony.
His ultimate sacrifice enshrined him as the "Guardian of
#Kashmir," a title that echoes through history.
