Tenzing Norgay Sherpa
Tenzing Norgay Sherpa was a renowned Nepali-Indian mountaineer, best known for being one of the first two individuals, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary, to successfully reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. Born in 1914 in Solukhumbu, Nepal, he became a significant figure in the history of mountaineering. Norgay's achievements not only brought him international fame but also made him a symbol of adventure and tenacity. Despite his numerous accolades, including the Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan awards from India, there have been ongoing discussions and demands for him to be posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor, reflecting the enduring legacy of his contributions to mountaineering and the cultural ties between Nepal and India.
