Amir’s journey is marked by an early tragedy that could have shattered the dreams of a young boy. At the tender age of eight, he faced a life-altering accident at his father’s sawmill, resulting in the loss of both his arms.
Reflecting on that fateful day in 1997, Amir recounts, “My jacket got caught in it, and my arms were chopped off.” The incident not only left him physically scarred but also had profound emotional implications.
He attributes his survival to the swift intervention of the Indian Army on that fateful day. “I owe my life to the Indian Army,” he asserts, recognizing the crucial role they played in rushing him to the hospital.
