Fauja Singh, the world's oldest marathon runner and a global symbol of resilience and quiet strength, has died in Punjab at the age of 114. He passed away on 15 July following a suspected hit-and-run near his home in Beas.
Singh's extraordinary journey took him from the wheat fields of British-ruled Punjab to the finish lines of some of the world's most iconic marathons. His life was chronicled in Turbaned Tornado, the 2011 biography that has become all the more poignant in the wake of his death.
