Yesterday I was visiting the website of the Indian Army and I found the page on Param Vir Chakra very VERY intriguing , inspiring.

The name itself means a lot...Bravest of the brave.



"This world rests on the arms of heroes like a son on those of his sire. He, therefore, that is a hero deserves respect under every circumstance. There is nothing higher in the three worlds than heroism. The hero protects and cherishes all, and things depend upon the hero".

I dont know if anybody remembers the "Param Vir Chakra" old TV serial which used to come on Doordarshan on Sundays. It was awesome and the song of the TV serial was also amazing.

The stories of each of the soldiers are stories of heroism/sacrifice. Some of the last words are really emotional. I also think , it is an example of leadership by example when I read about the encounter of Rifleman SANJAY KUMAR.


Bleeding profusely from the bullet wounds, he continued the charge towards the bunker. Unhesitant, he then picked up the enemy machine gun and crept towards the second enemy bunker. Three enemy soldiers, taken completely by surprise were killed by him on the spot. Inspired by his dare devil act the rest of the platoon, emotionally charged, assaulted the feature and captured Area Flat Top.

Just check out the recepients of the Param Vir Chakra on this webpage.
