Captain Vikram Batra, an inspiring figure in Indian military history, was born on 09 September 1974, in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India. He joined the Indian Army and was commissioned into the 13th battalion of the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, renowned for his bravery and leadership during the Kargil War of 1999.
Captain Batra's courageous actions during the war, particularly during the capture of Point 4875, earned him the nickname "Sher Shah" (Lion King). His leadership and valor in the face of heavy enemy fire contributed significantly to India's success in the Kargil conflict.
Tragically, Captain Vikram Batra made the ultimate sacrifice for his country on 07 July 1999, during the Battle of Point 4875. His bravery and selflessness continue to inspire generations of Indians, and he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration, for his extraordinary courage and leadership in battle. Captain Vikram Batra's legacy remains etched in the annals of Indian military history, symbolizing the indomitable spirit and sacrifice of the nation's brave soldiers.
