'''Shangara Singh Mann''' was an officer of the [[Indian National Army]] during [[World War II]]. He served as a captain and company commander during some of the earliest fighting against the [[British Indian Army]] in [[Assam]], for which he was awarded the [[Sardar-e-Jung]], the second-highest [[decorations of Azad Hind|decoration bestowed by Azad Hind]] for valour in combat, and the [[Vir-e-Hind]] medal. [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] himself gave Singh Mann his medals in [[Rangoon]]. He was captured by the British and held in a prison in [[Multan]] from January 1945 to February 1946. Soon after he was released and he returned to his family in the [[Punjab]], his life was disrupted by the [[partition of India]]. In 1959, he settled in [[Vadodara]], Gujarat, where he remained as of 2001. He died at the age of 113.<ref name=TOIShaikh>{{cite news<br />
