Hav Budhi Bhallabh was a platoon Havildar in a Battalion of the Mahar regiment. In 1971 war, being held in front of heavy firing by enemy bunkers in Eastern sector, when half of the troops in his platoon were either killed or wounded, he steadfastly kept moving the ammunition from those wounded/martyred to the ones firing back at the enemy bunkers. Soon after, he himself was hit by a machine gun while crawling to the enemy bunkers and was martyred on the spot. On displaying such extreme courage and determination in 1971 war, his strong headedness and fearlessness will keep inspiring the youth of the nation.
