Harsh Chhikara
Two villages, one soil
Ladrawan and Jua
He was born in Ladrawan (Bahadurgarh) in Jhajjar district, and the family’s roots are in Jua village in Sonipat district. Both villages call him their own son.
In August 2024 the elders of 16–17 villages in his birthplace Ladrawan blessed him with a turban. In September 2024 Jua held a late-night public meeting on Bhagat Singh’s birth anniversary, and in September 2025, when fields were waterlogged, he toured Jua and Dhanana and gave the two panchayats ₹51,000 to drain the water.
Struggle was the school
After his mother passed away when he was 7, he took the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. He laboured with his father, saw the family land sold, and still never gave up his studies: matriculation from the village government school, senior secondary in Bahadurgarh, then a degree and an LL.B.
From artist to social worker
He first became known as a Haryanvi artist; from December 2016 social media became his instrument of service. Today a family of 53 lakh+ people follows him on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
