Lost in the rising border tensions between India and China, a Tibetan origin officer at Indian army has not found the deserving recognition for his sacrifice. However, following reports of the death of Tibetan officer at Vikas Regiment of Special Frontier Forces along the border last Saturday, Indian netizens have started pouring out their solidarity tribute on internet.
Company Leader Nyima Tenzin, 53 lost his life in the tension between Indian and Chinese border forces near Pangong Tso, Ladakh. While official sources have not spoken openly about the incident, two narratives describe first cause of death due to the blast of a land mine while another story describe his death due to a gunshot from Chinese soldiers. Whatsoever, Nyima Tenzin’s martyrdom is being well recognized by the citizens.
One Twitter user has beautifully described the bravery as his sacrifice for India came out of love for Tibet. Thousands of people have come out in solidarity and support of the Martyr Nyima Tenzin. The following is a look at few of the prominent tweets trending on Twitter;

VIKAS battalions. Some of their troops, considered expert mountaineers, were employed in Kargil war on Khalubar (Batalik) and Point 5500 (SSH). Pages 194 & 206 of my book Kargil: From Surprise to Victory refer.
My salute to Nyima Tenzin! https://t.co/6yY3E0hgMw— Ved Malik (@Vedmalik1) September 2, 2020
Wrapped in 2 flags,SFF Commando #NyimaTenzin had the rare honor of supreme sacrifice for 2 motherlands. This Tibetan was defending India past 33yrs. Despite meagre media coverage I hope Gov is paying him all due respect & supporting his family as they do to all our soldiers. pic.twitter.com/HlC4jlwUKe
