Shri Surinder Kochhar (The Ajnala Hero)

The man who single-handedly unearthed the hidden truth about the massacre done during the 1857 uprising of the first freedom struggle of  India. 
In 1857, a massacre took place in the Ajnala village, which lies about 26 kilometres north of Amritsar towards the Pakistan border. The British killed 282 Indian soldiers here. For a long time, this episode was considered a fictitious tale, until local historian Surinder Kochhar, got interested in it. Convinced that it was not just a tale, he took it upon himself to unearth the truth, literally and figuratively.  Thanks to his relentless efforts, skeletal remains of the soldiers were discovered from a well under a gurudwara in Ajnala in 2014. In April this year, a genetic study of the 160-year-old human skeletons, for the first time, presented scientific evidence and confirmed that these human remains belonged to residents of the Gangetic plain region.
