India might be a strange and mystical land for tourists, but for those of us who were raised here and live here, it’s just home. We don’t think of it as being a place where cases defy all scientific explanation and stubbornly refuse to get solved. However, that is exactly what happened with the following cases:

1. Kongka La Pass UFO Base
In a disputed territory (Aksai Chin) between India and China, lies a low ridge pass called Kongka La; due to its location in the Himalayas and it being a disputed area, it is one of the most un-visited parts of the world. By humans that is. Locals of the region from both countries, monks, soldiers and even pilgrims to Mount Kailash have reported seeing strange crafts in the area.

According to some, the site has an underground UFO base that Chinese and Indian authorities are aware of. Despite permits, researchers are not allowed into the area. People have reported seeing triangular crafts that rise straight upwards into the sky. Though disputed, neither country shows any urgency in exploring the area so far.

2. Emperor Asoka’s Secret Society
In 273 BC, Asoka conquered Kalinga and became overwhelmed by the bloodshed he saw, which led to his conversion to Buddhism. In his search for the truth, Asoka is said to have come across knowledge so powerful that if it fell into the wrong hands, it would destroy humanity. To guard this knowledge, he found nine men, each of who was entrusted with one book.

The men (supposedly including Pope Sylvester II) were said to have belonged to different lands and races, so that the information remained spread out across the world. Over the years, this story has faded into myth, but there are some people who believe that those nine men formed the first secret society of the world that that their descendants have used the knowledge in those books to become powerful men.

3. The Kuldhara Mystery
Kuldhara was a village established in 1291 in western Rajasthan by Paliwali Brahmins. It became a very prosperous town and all seemed good. In 1825, however, all the people in Kuldhara and the nearby 83 villages just up and left. India is a land of traditions and the reason why these people abandoned a place where their families had lived for 7 centuries has never been explained.

There was some talk of an evil minister of the kingdom who wanted to marry the daughter of a chief so all the villagers went away…but that seems a little far-fetched. Anyhow, the village still stands, though time is constantly taking a toll on it, in eerie silence, uninhabited since the time it was suddenly abandoned.

4. Jodhpur’s Sonic Boom
December 2012 was a weird time as people were wondering if the world was going to end. It didn’t quite end but sure spooked the hell out of people when unexplained sonic booms were heard across the world. One place a deafening sonic boom was heard was the Indian city of Jodhpur on 18 December, 2012.

It was so loud that terrified people ran out of their homes. People thought it was an explosion in the army area, but the army denied it. Even the air force denied having anything to do with it. Locals tried hard to figure out what caused the loud sound but it has remained unexplained to this day.

5. Baba Harbhajan Singh
This is a tale of going way above and beyond the call of duty. Late Punjab Regiment sepoy, Harbhajan Singh, was stationed at the Nathula Pass on the Sino-Indian border. 1968 saw heavy rainfall and flooding in the region, and Singh was carried away by a fast-flowing stream on 4 October, 1968 while he was escorting a mule caravan. That should have been the end of it but soldiers started seeing Singh in their dreams; he told them where to find his body and to construct a samadhi there.

Soon soldiers from both sides of the border started seeing a lonely soldier on horseback patrolling the area. He appeared in dreams to more soldiers, telling them of how security could be improved and being accurate about it. The samadhi soon gained fame and brings in civilians and soldiers alike. Locals still swear by the ever-vigilant baba who serves his country even after death.
