The real architect of the Constitution
First deputy prime minister and home minister of India
Vallabhbhai Patel was born on October 31, 1875, in a farmer's family in Nadiad, Gujarat. His father, Zaverbhai, had served in the army of Jhansi ki Rani, and his mother, Ladbai, was a deeply religious woman.
He was a Lehva patidar or Lehva Patel Gurjar. (surname was Lohia or Lohmor) from village Nadiad, Gujrat.
Sardar Vallab Bhai Patel played the key role in uniting the 604 different riyasats during the process of independence.
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel also played a decisive role in the Constituent Assembly and remained the moving spirit behind some of the landmark provisions of Indian principles.
Patel, a man of action, spoke only when necessary in the Constituent Assembly, yet his impact on the Constitution was much wider than his intervention in the debates.
He played an important role in the selection of members of the drafting committee. He took a strong stand for or against Jawaharlal Nehru on key issues such as fundamental rights, the position of the prime minister, the election procedure of the President and the status of Kashmir. "The Iron Man so dominated the assembly that the Constitution which emerged from it bore his stamp and could be aptly called the Patel Constitution
Dhan Singh Kotwal
The British in Meerut in 1857
Rustam-E-Hind "The Great Gama"
The Lion of Punjab.
Only wrestler of the world who retired undefeated.
Gama (Real name was Mian Ghulam Mohammed) who was born to a family of wrestlers in 1888 in Punjab, India.
His father was a top wrestler and Gama is said to have started training at age five. When Gama was eight, his father died, but training continued under the direction of his grandfather; then, when he died too, under his uncle Ida Palahwan, who vowed that Gama would become the champion his father had wanted him to be. According to Joseph Alter, "Intent on impressing upon him the desire to be a great wrestler, he constantly pointed out to the young boy that this is what his father wanted above all else." From being a child, wrestling seemed to be pretty much all that Gama knew. In time, as he reached maturity and eventually did become Champion of India, "The crown passed on to a person perhaps as great and worthy as Ghulam."
Gama first became known at the age of ten when he took part in a national physical exercise competition held by the Rajah of Jodhpur. This was not in a wrestling contest, but in an endurance competition of bethaks (free squats), the fundamental conditioning exercise of Indian wrestling. "Over four hundred wrestlers from around India had gathered in Jodhpur," wrote Joseph Alter, "and at the Rajah’s signal the competition began. As wrestlers became tired they left the field until only one hundred or so remained. As more and more retired, all eyes turned on Gama, until, after a number of hours had passed, only fifteen wrestlers were left exercising. At this point Jaswant Singh [the Rajah] ended the contest saying that the ten year old boy was clearly the winner in such a field of stalwart national champions. Later, upon being asked how many bethaks he had done, Gama replied that he could not remember, but probably several thousand.
Ten minutes, eight minutes, two minutes – when you read the accounts of Gama’s Indian matches, such as they are, it seems that his opponents, some of them well-known champions, were simply brushed aside. But there was one exception, the famous Rahim Sultaniwala. He was older than Gama, a one-time student of the great Gulam, and he is described as standing six foot eleven and weighing 270 to 300 pounds, much bigger than Gama, who was around five foot seven and 200 pounds. They wrestled to a two-hour draw.
Gama went to every country of Wrestlers and defeated all known wrestlers.
He remained world champion for a long time.
Gama's last match was with J.C Peterson whom he defeated in 45 seconds.
Gama wrestled for many years and always emerged victorious. One of his greatest quality was that he had not only a sense of self respect but was very friendly in nature. Indian wrestling owes its popularity to Gama. He died in Lahore on 22nd May in 1960.
Kamal Ram Harsana
Kamal Ram was an Indian recipient of the Victoria Cross,
The highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy

He was 19 years old, and a Sepoy in the 8th Punjab Regiment, Indian Army during
the Second World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 12 May 1944 at the River Gary, Italy, the company advance was held up by heavy machine-gun fire from four posts on the front and flanks. The capture of the position was essential and Sepoy Kamal Ram volunteered to get round the rear of the right post and silent it. He attacked the first two posts single-handed, killing or taking prisoner the occupants and together with a havildar he then went on and completed the destruction of a third. His outstanding bravery unquestionably saved a difficult situation at a critical period of the battle.

People remember him as a man of integrity and confidence. Bet few knew him as a boy who, upon being singled out in the school assembly for wearing a torn uniform, had the strength to point that though torn and old, it was clean. This prompted the principal to enlist him in the NCC so he would get a free uniform. There were times when he sold newspapers at traffic lights. But through all this, the young boy grew up believing that poverty was not a stigma. He imbibed constantly from life and taught himself to be honest and courageous. He managed to get his two sisters married and educate his younger brother who, unfortunately, passed away at the age of 18. He grew up into a young man who believed that no condition was permanent and one could rise out of poverty by hard work. It was his hard work and beliefs that saw him rise from a doodhwala to a highly popular leader.

Village Chandpur, Patiala, Punjab
Shayar, Lyricists, poet and a very famous personality.
Real name was Abdul Hayee. He was born in Ludhiana, Punjab.(1921)
Sahir created some of the most popular songs ever: Yeh Raat Yeh Chandni Phir Kahaan, sun le dil ki daastan- Jaal (1952); Jaaye to Jaaye Kahaan - Taxi Driver (1954); Teri Duniya Mein Jeene se Behtar Ho Ki Mar Jaayen - House Number 44 (1955); and Jeevan ke Safar Mein RahiMunimji (1955). Tu Hindu Banega na Musalmaan Banega Insaan ki Aulaad Hai, Insaan Banega for Dhool Ka Phool (1959).Allah Tero Naam Ishwar Tero Naam Sabko Sanmati de BhagwanHum Dono, esoteric - Khuda-e-Bartar Teri Zameen Par Zameen ki Khatir Jung Kyon Hai from Taj Mahal, and philosophical - Jahan Mein Aisa Kaun Hai Ki Jisko Gham Mila Nahin again from Hum Dono - from
Although he remained a bachelor his whole life, Sahir had two affairs, one with writer Amrita Pritam and the other with singer Sudha Malhotra respectively. These relationships could not be cemented in marriage because the girls' fathers refused to let them marry someone they thought a Muslim.
His relationship with Amrita Pritam was so passionate, that at one time while attending a press conference Amrita wrote his name hundreds of time on a sheet of paper. The two of them would meet without saying a word; Sahir would puff away at cigarettes, and after he left Amrita would smoke the cigarette butts left by him. After his death, she said she hoped the smoke from her cigarettes would meet him in the other world.
As written in Hum Dono by him:
Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya
Har fikr ko dhuwein me udata chala gaya
Sahir's poetry had a Faizian quality. Like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Sahir too gave Hindustani/Urdu poetry an intellectual element that caught the imagination of the youth of the forties and fifties and sixties. He helped them to discover their spine. Sahir asked questions, was not afraid of calling a spade a bloody spade, and roused people from an independence-induced smugness. He would pick on the self-appointed custodian of religion, the self-serving politician, the exploitative capitalist, the war-mongering big powers. Aren't they familiar? Close to Sahir's heart were the farmer crushed by debt, the young man sent to the border to fight somebody's dirty war, the lass forced to sell her body, the youth frustrated by unemployment, families living in dire poverty... The underdog remains; his bard is gone.
