    Sorry was busy so couldn't post the answer earlier.

    Answer to puzzle no:
    5112

    Person: Dwarkanath Shantaram Kotnis

    A young doctor sent to help chinese soldiers during the second sino-japanese war. He was respected by the chinese leader Mao Zedong. What's interesting it for all the help that India did to Chinese, the Chinese in return attacked India in 1962 and has been encroaching our land since then.

    Was worrying whether ILites would recognize/remember the person or not. But looks like most of the ILites had very deep knowledge of him.

    Clues:
    Image1: V Shantaram: Dual clue. Dr. Kotnis's middle name was Shantaram. Also V Santaram acted and directed a film called "Dr. Kotnis ki Amar Kahani". The film was scripted by Khwaja Ahmad who scripted many of Raj Kapoor's movies.

    Image2: Mao Zedong. The general whose forces were served medically by Dr. Kotnis

    Image3: Yin Hua: The name of Dr. Kotnis's son with his Chinese wife. Yin meaning India and Hua meaning Chinese.

    Image4: Scene of medical clinic in a battle field.

    Image5: Mount Wutai. One of the places where Dr. Kotnis served during the war.

    Oh the problems of being a younger sister. Her life? Would compare it to eating sandwich with margarine instead of butter. The song that comes to mind is "She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear, she waltzes on the way to chapel and whistles on the stairs; and underneath her wimple she wears curlers in her hair, M..... is not an asset to the abbey!"
