OPERATION VIJAY (Kargil War 1999)
“Either I will come back after hoisting the
tri colour or I will come wrapped in it, but
I will come back for sure.”
Captain Vikram Batra

D
uring the Kargil war, Captain Vikram Batra of 13 Jammu & Kashmir Rifles and his Delta Company
were tasked to recapture one of the most arduous and crucial peaks, Point 5140. At a height of 17000
feet, he and his men planned to approach the hill from the rear, so as to take the enemies by surprise.
They ascended the rocky cliff but as they neared the top, the Pakistani intruders pinned them on the face
of the cliff with machine gun fire. Undeterred by this, Captain Batra and five of his men climbed up and on
reaching the top hurled two grenades at the machine gun positions. He single handedly killed three soldiers
in close combat and despite being badly injured during the exchange, he regrouped his men and continued
the mission. After a long battle, many enemy soldiers were killed and his unit won a decisive victory. His
courage inspired his men to charge the enemy positions and on 20 June 1999, they captured Point 5140.
‘Chanakya …it’s Shershah reporting!! We’ve captured the post! Yeh Dil Maange More!’
Captain Vikram Batra told his Commanding Officer after securing Point 5140 (Tiger Hill).
On 07 July 1999, in another operation in the area of Point 4875, his company was tasked to clear a narrow
feature with sharp cuttings on either side and heavily fortified enemy defences that covered the only approach
to it. For speedy operation, Captain Batra assaulted the enemy position along a narrow ridge and engaged
the enemy in a fierce hand–to-hand fight killing five enemy soldiers at point blank range. Despite sustaining
grave injuries, he crawled towards the enemy and hurled grenades clearing the position with utter disregard
to his personal safety. Leading from the front, he rallied his men and pressed on the attack and achieved a
near impossible military task in the face of heavy enemy fire. The officer, while doing so, sustained bullet
injuries and ultimately succumbed to his injuries. Inspired by his daredevil act, his troops fell upon the enemy
with vengeance, annihilated them and captured Point 4875.
Captain Vikram Batra, thus, displayed the most conspicuous bravery and leadership of the highest order
in the face of the enemy and made the supreme sacrifice in the highest traditions of the Indian Army. He was
awarded the country’s highest Gallantry Award, Param Vir Chakra (Posthumously).
His saga of bravery is truly inspirational and he continues to be called ‘Sher Shah’, a title that will remain
legendary in the history of Indian Army. Today, he is an inspiring ico to millions.
