She was born into privilege. But at 16, she chose patriotism over pearls.

Saraswathy (Rajamani) – once a wealthy heiress in Rangoon – became one of India’s youngest and bravest spies for Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

She smuggled secrets from British camps, staged a jail rescue disguised as a dancer, and took a bullet for her country — all before she turned 18.

This Independence Day, we remember the girl who gave up everything and never asked for it back.

Swipe through her untold story.>>

In 1978, a German mountaineer showed Col. Bull Kumar an American map.

It marked Siachen, a frozen desert in Ladakh, as part of Pakistan.

Without orders or fanfare, he launched a secret expedition to the world’s highest glacier — no maps, no fancy gear. Just courage, instinct, and ice underfoot.

He returned with proof and quietly rewrote India’s military history.This Kargil Vijay Diwas, swipe to uncover the silent mission that helped India reach Siachen first, without firing a single shot. >>

This Kargil Vijay Diwas, let's remember the unsung hero whose sharp eyes and quick thinking helped shape India’s victory.
