Are some people born to be heroes? Men who in spite of having all the qualities that would ensure them success in the world, sacrifice it all for others? Every once in while, there have been such men and women in this country's history, men and women who were born to do something extraordinary. Capt. Vikram Batra was clearly one such man - one in a billion!

As a school kid, when a young girl had fallen from his school bus, he had jumped off from the moving bus without any hesitation. Hurt, he had then taken the injured girl to a nearby hospital. "He was daring, helpful, he would go out at midnight if anyone asked for his help," says his father G.L. Batra.

Capt. Vikram was a brilliant student, always scoring very high grades in school and college. He happened to be an exceptional sportsman, excelling in most sports, with table tennis and skating being one of his favourites. He even played nationals in Table Tennis during his school days.
As if these qualities were not enough in one man alone, he happened to possess a magnetic personality, an aura of positivity that everyone fell in love with. "His face always glowed, he was always smiling, and he had a very infectious laughter. A no holds bar laughter," his father tells me, the memories of his son's laughter bringing a smile to his face. "Everyone in the this small town loved him," he says.
During the Kargil invasion of 1999 by Pakistan, (at the time) Lt. Batra, 13 JAK Rifles, and his Delta Company were ordered to recapture peak 5140 on June 19, five weeks after the war began. Nicknamed Sher Sha of Kargil, Lt. Batra showed exceptional courage and intellect to capture the peak. He single-handedly killed three enemy fighters in dangerous close-range combat. Regardless of his injuries, Captain Batra regrouped his men to pave the way for Indian soldiers to advance further in the Kargil war
'Yeh Dil Maange More' is our company's success signal, he said to the camera with a smile. It was the confident smiling visage of this hero that calmed the nation, which made its one billion people believe that everything will be okay.

Meet Lieutenant Neeru Sambyal of the Indian Army.

Lost her husband, Rifleman Ravinder Sambyal, a JAK RIF soldier while he was training.

The iron lady trained herself rigorously once she made up mind to follow her husbands footsteps but as an officer. She cracked Services Selection Board #SSB in her very first attempt and on 8th September 2018 after a year of agony and tough training she has been commissioned as Lieutenant in the Army Ordnance Corps. Her husband’s Battalion 2 JAK RIF, BODYGUARD counseled, motivated, assisted her in every manner possible and ensured her dream was realized.

A shining moment in Indian military history, the Battle of Saragarhi was fought before the Tirah Campaign on 12 Sep 1897 in the NWFP (Now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) between 21 brave soldiers of the 36th Sikhs now 4 Sikh who valiantly fought against 10000 Afghan Tribesmen, till their very last. Saragarhi was a post between Fort Gulistan and Fort Lockhart in the Hindukush Mountains, in NWFP, Pakistan. The Sikhs, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, chose to fight to death, in what is considered by military historians as one of history's greatest last – stands. The post was recaptured two days later by another British Indian contingent. All 21 Indian soldiers were awarded the Indian Order of Merit. Battle of Saragarhi today is the Regimental Battle Honour of the Sikh Regiment.

He is from my school. There is a whole wall dedicated to martyrs who have graduated from the school, Vikram Batra's portrait is right in the middle.

I am really sorry, I mistakenly assumed, since his photo was there in the Martyr's Gallery, that Vikram batra was from my school.

These are the people from my school :

The contribution of Army Public School in every walk of life in the form of progressive and upright citizens is commendable. However, when it comes to the Defence Services , the school's immense contribution cannot be ignored. Time and again , APS has been giving the Indian Defence Services many of its glittering jewels - soldiers who are tough but sensitive , unyielding in their integrity and patriotism.

In the memory of our alumni who have made the supreme sacrifice for the safety , unity and integrity of the country , the APS family dedicated a gallery to the Martyrs, on 26th July 1999. The Martyrs Gallery has photographs of some of the alumni of the school who have laid down their lives in the service of the Nation.

1 Major Vikrant Shastri , SM (1980 Batch ) 11 Mech Infantry, Commissioned in Dec.85. Casualty - 3rd May'95, in Assam

2. Major Abhimanyu Sikka ( 1981 Batch ) Artillery, Commissioned in June '85 Casualty - 2001 in the Kashmir Valley

3. Capt Umang Bhardwaj, SC (1994 Batch ) Shaurya Chakra (Posthumous) 7 JAT (ASC) , Commissioned in Dec 1999 Killed Six Militants in Mendher Sector, Rajouri, J & K Casualty - Nov 2002 in Rajouri , J&K
