I went through numerous blogs , wiki page and other Baba related info sites, a lot of the information seems stunted, incorrect and conflicting. While writing the article , I found myself in a quandary , because much of the information even i had gathered about the saintly young sepoy was hearsay.
Hence I spoke to an old friend of my father's who commanded the Nathula Brigade few years back (mentioned in my blog), and all the stories, the facts and the lore have been confirmed from a man who spent 30 months there, carrying out the rituals mentioned.
