Till the Kargil war, bodies of our soldiers who were killed in action were not sent home but cremated in the battlefield. But one such instance happened in 1963, when a soldier's remains were sent to his native. Thousands of people gathered in Jodhpur on February 18, 1963. It was not a celebration or an occasion but it was the last journey of a national hero, who we all know as Major Shaitan Singh, PVC, the hero of Chushul. (1/n)
🇮🇳 #HeroesOfKargil: In the final days of the battle for Tiger Hill, a soft-spoken officer from Delhi was handed one of the most perilous objectives in the Mushkoh Valley: clear the Pimple Complex on Point 4875.
Just after receiving his promotion to Captain, he led ‘Charlie’ Company of the 17 Jat Regiment up vertical, ice-bound cliffs at 15,990 feet. When heavy enemy artillery fire injured his Company Commander early in the assault, he stepped up without hesitation.
Leading from the front under relentless machine-gun fire, he crawled between fortified stone sangars, physically taking down three enemy bunkers with hand grenades and rocket launchers while neutralizing nine enemy combatants.
On the night of 6–7 July 1999, only one enemy bunker remained.
With zero regard for his own safety, he charged the last position himself. An enemy RPG rocket struck him at point-blank range, but his ferocious assault had already silenced the stronghold, securing the vital feature overlooking NH 1D and paving the final road to victory at Tiger Hill.
He made the ultimate sacrifice at just 23 years old.
His men raised the Tiranga on the peak he bought with his life.
-- Captain Anuj Nayyar, 17 Jat Regiment, Maha Vir Chakra (Posthumous) 🇮🇳
Salute to the braveheart and his dear ones.
Let’s unearth the true depth of our history, one incredible story at a time. Join the journey to #KnowTheRealBharat
Under Dr. Manmohan Singh’s government (2004-2014) India’s Debt to GDP ratio fell sharply from 84.9% to 67%. A quiet, competent economist PM who actually reduced the burden on the next generation. Then came the "strong leadership" era (2014–2024). The same ratio climbed back up to 82%. From fiscal consolidation to fiscal expansion debt went up, not down. One government reduced India’s debt. The next government increased it again. Numbers don’t lie. Rhetoric does.
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान भ्रष्टाचार और भारत की बर्बाद education system के प्रतीक हैं और हमेशा रहेंगे।
उसी system ने 26 बच्चों की जान ली, और लाखों युवाओं को सड़कों पर उतरने को मजबूर किया।
इस्तीफ़ा भी नैतिकता से नहीं - युवाओं के आक्रोश से डरकर देना पड़ा।
और आज उसी व्यक्ति को संसद में BJP माला पहना रही है। यह कोई सम्मान नहीं - लाखों बच्चों के भविष्य की बर्बादी का जश्न है।
देश का हर छात्र ये देख रहा है। और इसमें शामिल हर चेहरा याद रखेगा।
@theliverdoc Bugger should promise on stamp paper that he and his family will take only gaumutra from now on. No other
medicine.
Choo manaate hai public ko
@DrJoyeeta They turn every fiasco into a victory parade. Like giving Yossarian a medal for going around twice, he mosssed dropping his bombs on his target on his first pass. (Catch 22)
@GuptaPragnya What comparison a few gaalis from a teenage girl against these heinous crimes applaoded and obfuscated by the sanskaari govt of that time
@GuptaPragnya This was not an ordinary rape. The harrowing ordeal of bilkis bano would make Josef Mengele quake and cry.
Anyone who garlanded those dastardly animals, fed them laddoo, or endorsed them in any way is a lowlife animal.
@GuptaPragnya Kausar Bano at Narora Patiya: Initial story was that a local thug Babu Bajrangi ripped her abdomen open with a sword, and twirled her unborn fetus on his sword.
Bajrangi proudly confessed to horrendous crime in a Tehelka sting op.
@GuptaPragnya https://t.co/lUPrEIFBff just in case people don't know. And the release of these wicked rapists was endorsed by the new edukashen monster
@MukteshaV@dooomlet GenZ did great. Whether they knew history or not, they stood up for citizens rights and democracy and accountability of government SERVANTS.
It is the bhaktoos who Made RAJAs of a wicked regime and let them trample and reduce this great nation.
