In a moment of extraordinary pride and patriotism, Rajveer Singh Naruka (35), a native of Didwana, Rajasthan, has etched his name into the record books by displaying the longest Indian flag at Uhuru Peak (5895 meters) — the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire African continent. This remarkable feat was accomplished on 15th August 2023, marking India’s 76th Independence Day at the roof of Africa.
Braving the thin air and harsh conditions of the summit, Rajveer’s solo achievement stands as a powerful symbol of national pride and personal endurance. Draped in the spirit of India, he unfurled the massive Tricolor at the summit, making it the longest Indian flag ever displayed by an individual at Mount Kilimanjaro.
Speaking after his record-setting climb, Rajveer said, “Carrying the Tricolor to the top of Africa on our Independence Day was a dream come true. This is my tribute to the motherland and a message to the youth — that no peak is too high if you carry your nation in your heart.”
His accomplishment has inspired countless Indians, particularly in his home state of Rajasthan, where celebrations erupted upon news of his success. Social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages and images of Rajveer proudly displaying the Indian flag against the backdrop of Africa’s highest summit.
This historic achievement not only highlights Rajveer’s mountaineering skill but also his deep sense of patriotism and commitment to showcasing India’s presence on global platforms.
As India celebrated 76 years of independence, Rajveer Singh Naruka’s feat has added a shining chapter to the country’s growing legacy of adventure and national pride.
