Lal Chand Yadav, born on February 10, 1923, in Biran village, Bhiwani district, completed primary education amidst the challenging times of colonial rule in India. He joined the 4/1st Ind. Heavy AA regiment in Ambala as a gunner. He was later dispatched to Singapore via Andaman Nicobar during World War II as part of the INA. Despite facing difficult conditions across India's plains and Southeast Asia's jungles, his spirit remained resolute, inspired by Netaji's impassioned speeches.
Labeled a traitor by the British for his INA involvement, Lal Chand initially faced a death sentence, which was later overturned due to public outcry and legal victories. Finally released from Multan Jail in 1946, Lal Chand continued serving his nation.
Recognized on the pride board of his village, Lal Chand passed away on 28 October 2008. His contributions were honored with a pension under PPO number MHA FF9107703 reflecting his unwavering dedication and sacrifice for India's freedom.
