Captain Vikram Batra Pvc: Immortal Hero Captain Batra is a name that you would unfailingly come across when you visit the hall at Service Selection Centre, Allahabad or one of the residential areas in Jabalpur Cantonment or the combined cadet’s mess at the IMA. Not only should every India know his name but the life and times of this glorious martyr deserve emulation by the successive generations. While the other young men enjoy lives and join the race of minting money when they are in their 20s, Captain Batra aged 24, established an example for the whole of young India by fighting courageously, displaying leadership of the supreme order and sacrificing himself for the nation during the Kargil War of 1999. Along with the posthumous honour of Param Vir Chakra, Captain Batra’s name is used by the Indian Army for various significant buildings and cantonments in his remembrance. In a tribute paid by director J.P Dutta to the deceased soldiers through a cinematic representation of the Kargil war “LOC Kargil” in the year 2003, Abhishek Bachchan played Captain Batra’s role and moved the hearts of audience. Captain Batra is survived by his parents, two elder sisters and a twin brother. The family feels proud of Captain Batra who now is a role model for thousands of Indians who care about their nation before they care about themselves. Best NDA Class (Dignitary)
