Sikar : In the Kargil War (Kargil Vijay Diwas), our brave soldiers became alive forever in the minds of people by hoisting the victory flag of India by tearing the chests of the enemies on the inaccessible hills, but how much pain and hardships they had to endure for this. Even the imagination of it is terrifying. Even the word supreme seems small in front of the sacrifice of martyr Banwari Lal Bagadia of Sevd Badi. During the Kargil War, on 15 May 1999, while patrolling with his colleagues at Bajrang Post, they encountered Pakistani soldiers under the leadership of Captain Saurabh Kalia. About 200 Pakistani soldiers stood in front of just seven brave soldiers.
Fingers cut, stabbed with hot iron rods
Fierce firing and shelling started from both sides, in which these brave soldiers of the Jat Regiment kept giving a tough time to the enemies, but when their weapons ran out, Pakistani soldiers surrounded them and captured them. They were treated brutally for 24 days. Apart from cutting off their fingers and toes, piercing them with hot iron rods and gouging out their eyes, their bodies were left in a mutilated condition. Which the Indian Army found on June 9. When the martyr’s body wrapped in the tricolor reached home in tatters, it was very difficult to see that heart-wrenching scene. Martyr Banwari Lal Bagadia had joined the Jat Regiment in 1996. During the Kargil war in 1999, he was posted in Kaksar sector. After the bodies of the soldiers were found, the Kargil war started on a large scale and after the war continued for about 60 days, on 26 July 1999, Indian soldiers won the Kargil war by driving away the Pakistani army.
15 intruders were killed
Born in Haripura village during the Indo-Pak war in 1971, Shyodana Ram had a patriotic spirit in him from birth. Shyodana Ram, who had a great love for the Indian flag since childhood, used to participate in patriotic plays with great enthusiasm and act with emotion. This spirit of patriotism, which grew with age, led him to the post of a soldier in the 17th Jat Regiment at the age of 20. From where, even when he returned home on leave, he would often tell his family and friends that he would do something for the country. Finally, he did something in the Kargil war of 1999. On July 7, despite being an easy target for Pakistani intruders at the Moska hill, the brave soldier, along with his platoon, crossed the inaccessible rocks and killed 15 intruders one after the other. But, just as he was about to hoist the Indian flag at the soldier post, the explosion of an RD bomb of the enemy silenced him forever. His mortal remains reached home wrapped in the tricolour which he loved the most.
