Hey! All,
It’s certainly the greatest news ever for Indian sport era.
Many many heartily congratulations to Major Rathore.
He did it for India and every Indian is proud of Rathore.
I salute him and convey my all the very best wishes to him & family.
I really appreciate his never say die attitude; he’s indeed a tough soldier.
Even more blissful news for me and every Rajasthani as he belongs to Rajasthan.

Well, u ppl rather won’t believe but he used to reside near by from my home less then 5 kms, I even talked to his father Colonel Laxman singh yesterday and convey my best wishes to them over phone; if anyone of u wanna congrats them plz! Buzz’em on 0141-2350820.
He inherits a strong army heritage as his father is retd. Colonel, himself is Major and his wife Gayatri is also a Maj. Doctor.

I salute from the core of my heart the hero of the nation.


Two thumbs up to the Major!!!,

Rock on,
Jit.

Though Rathor is not a jat, but has a strong Haryana connection. His mother, Manju, is from Bhondsi, Gurgaon where he spent most of his childhood.
