We had left of our srory of the of Darbarra Singh at just the introduction, now we shall continue it.
In 1887, he joined the army in platoon number 2, at Kohat in the North-West Frontier Provice of India. He was eighteen at the time. In 1897, within the service of ten years, he rose to the rank of a Havildar. He fought in the battles of Chitral, Bannu, Tonk, Bijore and Mullah Paiwand and won several medas of galantry. He was a brave hunter and dead shot. His smartness could beat the lightning attacks of leopeardsand lions and similairly his courage ould tower above theirs. That was the reason that his English Commanding Officers used to take him with them when they used to go for tiger-hunting. One of his accomplishments of his bravery, made him a legend in the army. His regiment was transferred to Asam. One day, his English Commanding Officer took him with him for huntinga tiger. They reached the tick of the jungle to climb on a tree from which the tiger was to be shot at, down on the ground. The Englishman climed on the tree from which the tiger was to be shot at, down on the ground. The Englishmen climed on the tree when Bhai Kehar Singh was still on the ground, relaxed and unprepared for any attack. All of a sudden a tiger roared like thunder and ran towards Kehar SIngh. The Commanding Officer cried, "Well, Kehar Singh, jaldi ooper charh jao, nahin to sher tum ko mar dega" (Well, Kehar Singh climb on the tree immediately, otherwise the tiger shall kill you). The tiger was too close. Kehar Singh firmly caught hold of his spear and replied back to the officer who was pearching on the tree, " Sahib, ab mujhey sher rukh te nahin charan dega. Main Kehar hoon aur yeh sheer hai, donno ikko baat hia. Main hamesha sheron ko rukh te char ke marta hoon, aaj isey jamin par maroon ga" (Sir, now the tiger will not let me climb on the tree. I'am a Kehar, he is a sher, both are the sam. Always I have been killing the tigers climbing on the tree. Today, I will kill when I'am also on the ground)
