[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh1, post: 145009, member: 635"] Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Thank you Seeker3k. I have read this story in the newspapers when the Kargil war ended. The basic fact is that the Pakistanis on top of Tiger Hill were a demoralized lot having lost their very important supply line -for food and ammunition- and the land line communication with their bosses in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir all because of the strong blockade by the 8th Sikh Battalion. Had this not been done, the story would have been different. Then there is an element of doubt about the story of how many Pakistani soldiers were there on top of the hill. This doubt was there even after the victory. The actual number of Pakistani bodies which were buried on the slopes of Tiger Hill was much less. All this came out in the newspapers with photos. Moreover, once the highest gallantry award -Param Vir Chakra- was awarded to a living man, (most of the times it has been given to martyrs) the written citation had to sound very impressive. In this case some amount of dubbing and fuzing had to be done to make it look like an impossible task. I have come to know that Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav -whose story you have brought out here- is often ridiculed by his colleagues and fellow soldiers for claiming to have done something against a stupendous odd though the truth is different. This sort of thing often happens in the confusion of a battle -happened during both the 1965 and 1971 wars. For the sake of these lucrative awards, people have made claims which turned out to be false. Some were later Court Martialed for frivolous claims to the contrary. And people from a particular region of south India have been known to run away from the horror of battles. They have called it tactical retreat whereas it was an outright and shameful rout -not once but many times over. It used to be a norm during the planning stage where senior commanders -both during the British times and even after Independence- used to put Sikhs or Rajput or Jat soldiers with ‘them’ so that ‘if they run, we can fill the gap before the enemy is any wiser’. There is no record of any of Tenth Gurus’ Sikhs having run away during the gruesomeness of battles. Instead they have stood the test of time with faith in their dear Guru. No one else carries their religious scripture into battle except the Sikh soldiers. An actual photo is shown as the header of SPN here. Why? It is their steadfastness in faith which is visible in their Symbols. For an Agnostic or a nonbeliever it may sound stupid but the fact remains that it’s the Sikhs alone who stopped the six monthly raids from Afghanistan which caused the destruction of over 3000 beautifully carved Hindu temples. It is only the Sikhs who put a stop to forcible conversions. It was all due to their faith in their visible symbols bestowed upon them by the Great Guru who did not fight for any personal kingdom but gave his everything for the sake of righteousness. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! [/QUOTE]
