In total the first edition garnered more than 34 million views and 2 lakh shares.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While stories of the average man\u2019s solidity often go untold, Bajaj V wants to bring it to the limelight. These \u2018Invincible Indians\u2019 are full of solid grit and courage, and have overcome many challengestoserve society. Bajaj V has released four videos of these \u2018Invincible Indians\u2019 that capture their inspiring stories. These \u2018Invincible Indians\u2019 are:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2018Bridgeman\u2019 Girish Bharadwaj <\/strong>has been successful in bridging the gap between people and their dreams in rural areas. Despite lacking in formal training, he has constructed a total of 127 bridges that help connect more than 500 villages and 2 lakh villagers to the nearby towns. All this without charging a fee for his services. He has recently been awarded a Padma Shri for his remarkable endeavours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2018Happy Uncle\u2019 Pravin Tulpule<\/strong> served in the Indian Navy for 17 years, and then one day quit to become a clown. He has brought a ray of hope and happiness into the lives of people, both young and old, by performing more than 4000 shows over 17 years. Till date he has never charged a fee for his shows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>DadaraoBilhore or Pothole Dada<\/strong>, is an epitome of strength and valour who converted a personal tragedy into a lifelong mission. After he lost his sixteen year old son to a bike accident caused by a pothole, he has taken on the task of filling potholes whenever he encounters one. More than 3000 people die due to accidents caused by potholes, and Pothole Dada is doing his bit to save as many lives as he can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2018Guru\u2019 GurmangalDass<\/strong>, decided to address the problem of drug addiction in his native village of Rurka Kalan in Jalandhar in a unique manner. He took the proverb \u2018prevention is better than cure\u2019 literally, and kept youngsters away from drug addiction by engaging in football and other sports. Today more than 4000 youngsters in 40 nearby villages are enrolled in his sports academy and staying away from drugs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Speaking on the initiative, Mr Eric Vas, President<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>Motorcycle Business, Bajaj Auto<\/strong> added, \u201c\u2018Invincible Indians\u2019 is an endeavour by Bajaj V to felicitate those solid men and women who make the country proud with their solid acts of selflessness and courage.
