The man who raised his hand for more than 45 years for an unexpected reason

The Indian man has raised one arm for more than 45 years and has no plans to lower it.

Most people have experienced the moment when they have to raise their arms up to the sky for a certain amount of time. But usually just hold it up for a few minutes because then your arm can start to ache. At that time, you have two options, one is to lower the arm and raise the other hand, the other is to use the other hand to support the elbow.

Amar Bharati - the man who has raised his hand for more than 45 years.

However, there is an Indian man who has continuously performed the arm raise for more than 45 years.

One day, a man named Amar Bharati suddenly decided to raise one of his arms and never lower it.

In 1973, Amar Bharati worked at a bank in India, he got married and had three children. Amar Bharati's life went on as normal, as simple as many other men in India.

But suddenly one day, Amar Bharati decided to give up everything to dedicate his whole life to Shiva, a Hindu god. In order to truly serve his religious beliefs, Amar Bharati came up with an idea that was determined to raise his hand and never to lower it.

Raising his hand for many years caused Amar Bharati's arm to atrophy.

Amar Bharati stunned the world after he was photographed with his arms raised in the 1970s.

Amar Bharati said: "I am not asking for much. I always wonder why we have to fight, to compete with each other, to have so much hatred. I want everyone in the world to live in peace. ".

Amar Bharati shared that at first his arm was very painful. After about two years, the pain began to subside and then Amar Bharati lost feeling, the arm he raised up gradually atrophied.

One day, even landing on Amar Bharati would be difficult without careful preparation. He suffered permanent nerve damage and lost circulation.

The inspiration of Amar Bharati's gesture has motivated thousands of people around the world to fight, in their own way, for world peace.

Even more interestingly, this gesture inspired other Indians to become Sadhu (Hindu monks) and raise their hands high for a long time, but no one could surpass Bharati's record. This man continues to raise his hand high and has no intention of putting it down anytime soon.
