When stories of the valor and bravery of the Indian forces are told, one cannot help but mention General Thimayya. Kodandera Subayya Thimayya, General K S Thimayya, or Timmy, as he was lovingly addressed by his colleagues, was undoubtedly one of the eminent soldiers in the Indian army.With a career spanning 35 years, General Thimayya has had major achievements, including commanding the Infantry brigade in Burma during one of the battles fought in the Second World War.

He was also instrumental in leading a surprise attack on Pakistani raiders during post-independence clashes in 1948
General Thimayya was born on 31 March 1906, in Mercara (now Madikeri) to a family of coffee planters. His father, Subbaya, belonged to an affluent family from the Cheppudira clan. His mother, Sitamma, was a well-known social worker, who also received the prestigious Kaisar-e-Hind Medal for her contributions to public service.

Thimayya had five siblings – Ponappa, Gangu, Dachu, Amavva, and Somayya. He was enrolled in St. Joseph’s College in Conoor at the age of eight along with his brothers.

However, due to the harsh disciplinary ways in the school, his parents readmitted the boys to Bishop Cotton Boys School in Bangalore.

Though he wasn’t a bright student, Thimayya showed a lot of interest in extra-curricular activities like sports. When he joined the school’s Auxiliary Force, he started harboring the dream of joining the armed forces
