Our salute to the heroes who fought their way to glory to vanquish an entrenched enemy on some of the highest battlefields in the world in the harshest of terrain and weather.

As Patton once said:

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other b****** die for his.
George S. Patton

Two songs dedicated to the brave hearts....

Jai Hind!

And Capt Vikram Batra, Param Vir Chakra, not satisfied with capturing an enemy post at Point 5140, which was at an altitude of 17,000 feet, said, "Yeh dil maange more."

Along with fellow Captain Anuj Nayyar, Batra led his men to victory with the recapture of Point 4750 and Point 4875. He attained martyrdom when he tried to rescue an injured officer during an enemy counter attack against Point 4875 in the early morning hours of 7 July 1999. His last words were, "Jai Mata Di."

It's no wonder he was nicknamed Sher Shah ('Lion King') for his courage.
