The mortal remains of Nyima Tenzin were brought in an army truck, escorted by many vehicles. It was followed by hundreds of youths on motorcycles carrying flags of Bharat and Tibet.

During the funeral people raised slogans of “Bharat Mata ki Jai”, “Tibet Desh ki Jai”, “We salute Indian Army”and “Vikas regiment Zindabad” Nyima Tenzin was also remembered in the slogans. Buddhist chants were accompanied by the serene sound of bells, while the last rites were conducted with full military honours including gun salute.

It must be noted that this is perhaps the first time that military has openly acknowledged the sacrifice of a Tibetan soldier of SFF. It is hoped that the sacrifice of Nyima Tenzin will not go in vain and Bharat will one day not only regain the lost territory, but also help Tibetans realize their dreams.
