Following the Uri attacks, everyone from political parties to burger joints have been quick to drum up support for themselves by cashing in on a feeling of patriotism and nationalism. The latest entrant to the list might be the strangest and most peculiar. But he also brings a message of peace.

Keshab Swain from Bhubaneshwar, Orissa finds mention in the Guinness Book of World Records. Why? He holds a record from breaking 92 green coconuts in one minute with his elbows. He achieved the milestone in 2015, breaking the record he had set in 2012 with 85 coconuts.

A few days ago, Swain broke 108 coconuts with his hands and elbows to pay his respects to the soldiers who perished in the attack. These coconuts were offered to the Hindu god Shiva, along with hymns, supposedly as a way to bring peace around the country.

The video above captures this feat.
