Captain Vikram Batra, often fondly remembered as "Sher Shah" (Lion King), was a brave and heroic officer in the Indian Army who served during the Kargil War in 1999. He was born on September 9, 1974, in Himachal Pradesh, India, and tragically lost his life in the line of duty during the conflict.
Captain Vikram Batra was a part of the 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles regiment and played a pivotal role in the Kargil War, which took place between India and Pakistan in the mountainous region of Kargil and Dras in Jammu and Kashmir. His courage and unwavering commitment to the defense of his country were exemplified in the battles he fought.
One of his most famous moments came during the capture of Point 4875, a critical strategic post at a high altitude. During this operation, Captain Batra reportedly uttered the now-legendary words, "Yeh dil maange more!" (This heart wants more!), signifying his determination and zeal.
Tragically, Captain Vikram Batra lost his life on July 7, 1999, during the capture of Point 4875. His actions and sacrifice were widely recognized, and he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration for gallantry, for his exceptional valor and leadership.
Captain Vikram Batra's life and bravery continue to inspire not only the armed forces but also the entire nation. He is remembered as a true hero who gave his all for the defense of his country, and his legacy lives on as a symbol of courage, dedication, and patriotism.
