Contributions made by Sardar Patel at the highest level and Major Bob Khathing at the ground level in bringing Tawang under the rule of India has never been recognized and therefore remained unknown to the people, said Khandu while flagging in the ‘Soul of India’ ride at the Tawang War Memorial on Friday morning.
