Balwant Kapoor was a great and honest person as well as an honorable freedom fighter. He will always be remembered for the sacrifices he made throughout his life. He was my grandfather and will always be missed and loved.
we are from thailand , we miss BALWANT KAPOOR JI .
Still thinking about and missing my grandfather. As his youngest granddaughter i was deprived of quality time with him while growing up, he remains in my heart and there is not a day i do not think about him. i wish he could see me now, grown and following in his and my fathers footsteps and to be able to hear him say how proud he is of me. Everything i am today and will be in the future is a result of his teachings and how he inspired me throughout the time we had together. Rest In Peace.
I am sure your grandfather is and has been a great inspirations to many, many people with whom i’m sure he has left a lasting memory. You MUST remember that his thoughts and wishes are always with you. Regards Ragbhir Sandhu IOC UK
