Kulwant Singh (general)

Major General Kulwant Singh[a], UYSM (born 10 September 1939), is an Indian former military officer.

He is the son of Sewa Singh, who was a Major with the Indian Army during the Second World War and was awarded the MBE.

He holds a postgraduate diploma in Human Resource Development from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in New Delhi.

Singh also commanded two active combat formations: a division deployed along Indo-China border, and a Brigade deployed on the Line of Control (LoC) against Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir (both in snow bound high altitude areas).

[citation needed] Singh was made the Defense Minister of Global Country of World Peace founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The press conference had to be stopped mid-way because of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan on the same day.

During his career, Singh was awarded the Uttam Yudh Seva Medal (1988),[10] the second highest decoration of senior officers, during IPKF operations in Sri Lanka, for outstanding performance in a war situation.
