Lance Naik Kulwant Singh had joined the Army to improve family’s financial conditions but also because he idolised his late father, Baldev Singh, also a soldier who had died in the line of duty in Jammu & Kashmir.

Recalling the chilling similarities, his mother, Harjinder Kaur, said, “Kulwant was just over a year old when his father had died…. Today, my son has met the same fate…. I am proud that my son is a shaheed (martyr), but who will take care of his children, who are toddlers themselves?”

Born in 1991, Kulwant hailed from Charik village in Punjab’s Moga district. He had joined the Army a decade ago. His wife Hardeep Kaur and children – 18-month-old daughter Armandeep and five-month old son Fatehveer — survive him.

Hardeep said, “Apne bachheyan de sar tey hi jiungi, hor ki karungi (What else I will do now but live for my kids)…. My children are too small to understand what has happened. We got married three years ago…everything is finished for us.”

Sukhdeep Singh, Kulwant’s stepbrother, said his brother loved his children immensely and was always worried for them. “Yesterday, when I spoke with him (over the phone), he asked me to ensure that his son gets his vaccines on time.”

Mandar Singh, Kulwant’s stepfather who had married Harjinder Kaur after Baldev Singh’s death, said, “Kulwant was a toddler when Baldev Singh had died in the line of duty in Kargil and now…”
