On 1 March 2014 army chief Gen Bikram Singh launched a new comic book Never Give In:_________ .

The graphic war novel is about a Param Veer Chakra awardee remembered for his valor shown in the 1971 war. The young lad destroyed five tanks of the enemy single handedly and died fighting when he still had a fair chance to save himself.

FITB with the name.

Just retired Union Home Secretary RK Singh, joined the BJP and will contest election too on the party ticket in 2014.

On 30 Oct, 1990 as the DM(Samastipur, Bihar) what order did he follow, which might seem very ironic now?

It’s a ficus which has leaves convoluted on it’s lower-side, a unique feature. I know of only three places where you can see this plant. One is in the Lalbagh, Banglore. Second one in Khan-e-Alam Nursery, Taj Mahal, Agra. And the third place is my backyard.

The plant interestingly gets it’s scientific and local name from a mythological figure. Legend is that he used to hid the stolen food in the curves of this plant’s leaves.

Which mythological figure lends his name to this ficus?

About two years ago he made a sensational comment that every Muslim should accept his Hindu ancestry, in an interview for a news channel. Incidentally his son-in-law is a Muslim and his daughter works for the same news channel to which he made the interview.

Who was this academician, politician, activist and economist & also his daughter?

Simplest of them all. ID the movie and the song of which this is a screen shot.
