When I saw this old man, I realized that I could not miss a chance to do a photo of him! I gathered all my courage, came up with the most polite request in English, to ask for a photo ... and, to my great joy, he agreed! And then I realized that he don`t not know English! Apparently, he reacted to my too pleading and polite tone of question. So then I specifically found a person who spoke both English and the local Punjabi language. I learned that this old man's name is Chahadar Barbir Singh, and he is: "From army of Akalpur." After that I read, that Akalpur is a far located village of 2,000 inhabitants! However, the small but proud village of Akalpur has its own army of warrior monks, only one member of which you can see in this photo.
