The Unyielding Spirit of a Forgotten Patriot In a country where valor is often celebrated through grand gestures and awards ceremonies, one man's unwavering dedication to his nation has been quietly inspiring generations of students.
Dr Santosh Goyal, a 79 year old former instructor at the National Defence Academy (NDA), continues to teach English literature and grammar from a temple in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
