The Kargil War, 1999

Size: 66 items

The Indian Army proved in Kargil that the regimental colours its Jawans carry are still a matter of honour. Most of all, the Jawans have learnt that after all was said and done, honour in battle meant standing one's ground and fighting - even to the last man if necessary. Jai Hind!! Jai Jawan!!
