The exemplary warrior Sowar Muhammad Hussain Shaheed took part in every battle of the Indo-Pak war 1971 and finally lost the courage by receiving a burst of machine-gun in the chest.
The fearless warrior was born on 18 June 1949 in Dhok Pir Bakhsh. His real name was Sarwar Muhammad Hussain Janjua. He joined Pak Army as a driver on 3rd September 1966 and after training, he joined 20 Lancers.
During the 1971 war, Sowar Muhammad Hussain took an active part in every battle with the unit. He fought with all his power and spotted the enemy tanks close to a minefield near the village Harar Khurd. He never waited for orders when there was a chance to smash the enemy and he took his own initiative and directed the accurate fire of recoilless rifles, resulting in the destruction of sixteen enemy tanks. This was the greatest of his achievement.
And then finally he received a burst of machine-gun in the chest and embraced martyrdom on the 10th of December 1971. After his death, the name of his village was replaced with his name. He was awarded Nishan-e-Haider.
