(2) A ghost soldier guards the border in Sikkim

Would you believe if we say that the Indo-China border in the state of Sikkim is being guarded by a ghost soldier? Yes, you heard it right. Late sepoy Harbhajan Singh passed away on October 4 1964 while patrolling at Nathu La Pass. After his last rites, he visited his fellow soldier in dreams, saying that his watch on the border isn’t over yet and he would continue to serve the nation even after his death. After a while, the officials granted him special status and he was given a retirement when it was due and made a shrine in his memory. The shrine is now a major tourist attraction of Sikkim.
