🇮🇳 #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) 🇮🇳

“Either I will come back after hoisting the Tricolour, or I will come back wrapped in it. But I will be back for sure.”
— Captain Vikram Batra
These weren’t just words.
They were courage. Conviction. Duty.
A nation’s soul is shaped by people who speak like this… and then live those words.
Not a day goes by without being inspired by him.
We will remember.
#KargilVijayDiwas 🇮🇳
Reach is being stifled by @X if you are exposing the roaches - massive boost to pro cjp messages across Media and SM
As usual @GoI_MeitY@MIB_India will do nothing about it
BJP had 12 years to bring in Media, Judiciary, Police and Bureaucracy reforms - did precious little and they are paying the price for their lapse now
Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.
I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.
Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."
Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.
What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.
When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.
In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.
So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

Some heroes leave the battlefield, but never the hearts of a grateful nation. 🇮🇳
Remembering the Shershah of Kargil, Capt. Vikram Batra (PVC), on his Punyatithi with profound respect and eternal gratitude.
#OperationSindoor stands as an epochal mission of India that will always remind our enemies of the infallible striking power of our armed forces.
History will remember it as the day of the precise striking power of our armed forces, meticulous intelligence of our agencies, and resolute political will rising together as one to destroy each and every address of terror across the border that dared to cast an evil shadow on our citizens at Pahalgam. This day will continue to bring the dreadful message to our enemies that no matter where they hide, they cannot escape. They are always within our sight and the fierce wrath of our firepower.
On this day, I salute the unparalleled valour of our forces.
