In an extreme bid to bring humanity together, Amar Bharati has been walking around with his hand raised for decades, it has been so long that his arm has become atrophied
Amar Bharati left the world stunned after he was pictured with his arm raised strongly holding a stance with his fist in the 1970s.
He was a married man with three children, who worked in a bank, but in 1973 he decided to ditch his modest life in the name of world peace.
He decided to dedicate himself to a Hindu deity called Shiva, and in a bid to show his devotion he came up with the idea to lift his arm and to keep it positioned that way.
"I don’t ask for much. Why do we fight between us, why is there so much hate and enmity between us? I want all Indians to live in peace," he previously told History of Yesterday.
Bharati spent the first two years of his quest in pain but after that, it slowly started to ease as he eventually lost all sense of feeling in his arm, reports Lad Bible.
