The Subedar's kidney was donated to the wife of a serving soldier suffering from terminal renal failure and the other was given to the AIIMS. A serving soldier and a retired officer were the recipients of the corneas, he said.
Bravo, Subedar !By: Shobha Deodhar | 14-Jul-2009Reply | ForwardSimply great, now this is incredible indeed. My respectful salute, Subedar Singh. This is a fine example of how to live even after you are dead. If the general public knows where to give your names for such donations of organs as well to receive them, it will be a good gesture.
The heart will go on........By: DeeDee | 09-Jul-2009Reply | ForwardIts stories like this which reconfirm my faith in mankind.These are the people unsung and unheard who will live on .Assuming Arifa is a muslim she will live and love again all because of a Sikh heart. There are no bounderies really ........only the ones we create ourselves.
This makes one feel proud!By: Jayadevan | 07-Jul-2009Reply | ForwardIn the midst of all the other news stories reinforcing our ideas of mankind as brutish and stupid, this comes as a beacon of hope. Goodness will always be found in life just like the lotus in a mire. For instance,in Sri Lanka, in the midst of all this internecine strife, the number of eyes donated is ten times their national requirement. Unfortunately, in India there is an acute shortage of donor eyes, as a result of which thousands of blind persons registered with the eye banks have to wait for years before donor eyes become available. If only our religious heads could take this up as a sub-agenda item, we could forgive them for all the harm they do us by their hate agenda.
