Captain Vikram Batra was an epitome of bravery and sacrifice during the Kargil War in 1999. Hailing from Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, he joined the Indian Military Academy with a fervent desire to serve his nation. During the Kargil War, Captain Vikram Batra was deployed in the treacherous terrain of Dras sector, where he displayed unparalleled valor and leadership. On June 19, 1999, during the operation to recapture Point 5140, also known as Point 4875, he led his troops fearlessly despite heavy enemy fire. During the assault, he climbed up a sheer cliff face under the cover of darkness, showing exceptional courage and determination. With the rallying cry “Yeh Dil Maange More,” he inspired his comrades and led them to victory, capturing the strategic peak from Pakistani intruders. However, his heroism didn’t end there. Just days later, on July 7, 1999, during another operation to recapture Point 4875, he once again exhibited extraordinary bravery. Despite facing heavy enemy fire, Captain Vikram Batra rushed forward to rescue an injured officer. In the process, he made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down his life for the country. For his indomitable courage and selfless devotion to duty, Captain Vikram Batra was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honor. His inspiring story continues to serve as a beacon of courage and patriotism for generations to come, reminding us of the extraordinary sacrifices made by our armed forces to protect the nation’s integrity and sovereignty.
