  • 1.7 Param Vir Chakra : Our Heroes
    1.7 Param Vir Chakra : Our Heroes You may have heard about legendary heroes of the past and their extraordinary acts of bravery. But even today many brave soldiers of our country sacrifice their own lives for our safety. Their brave deeds are honoured by bestowing military decorations on them. Param Vir Chakra is India’s highest military decoration. It is awarded for the most conspicuous bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, in the presence of the enemy, whether on land, at sea or in the air. The Param Vir Chakra is a very rare honour. So far, it has been awarded only 21 times. Fourteen of these awards were given posthumously. The medal itself is very simple in appearance. It is made of bronze, and is fi tted with swivel mounting and has a plain purple ribbon. On the obverse, it has the Indian national emblem at the centre, surrounded by four replicas of ‘Indra’s Vajra’. On the reverse, the words Param Vir Chakra are engraved in Hindi and English, with two lotus flowers in between. The Param Vir Chakra medal was designed by Savitribai Khanolkar. She was a European lady, who married Vikram Khanolkar, an Indian Army Officer. Savitribai loved India and took Indian citizenship. She spoke Marathi, Sanskrit, Hindi fluently and had studied Indian arts and traditions in depth. Indra’s vajra or thunderbolt is supposed to be a matchless weapon. But what makes the weapon invincible is the supreme sacrifice of the sage Dadhichi. According to legend, thousands of years ago, a demon had stolen all the water in the world.

One such incident happened in 1971 when Indian Army won the war against Pakistan. To celebrate this victory, Vijay Diwas is celebrated all across India on 16 December. The Government of India decided on December 03, 1971, that India would go for war with Pakistan to save Bengali Muslims and Hindus. This war was fought between India and Pakistan for 13 days only. But, the Pakistani army surrendered before the allied forces consisting of Indian Army and Mukti Bahini of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) with 93,000 soldiers. It was the Indian Army‟s one of the biggest victories ever made against Pakistan. As it was the first major victory of independent India, it brought confidence in people along with lots of joy. Many people do not know the reason behind this war. They think why there was a war? The reason was: Before 1971, Bangladesh was known as “East Pakistan” as it was the part of Pakistan. It was believed that people of East Pakistan or Bangladesh(now) were often beaten, exploited, raped and murdered by the Pakistani Army. During the tough time faced by Bangladesh, India supported Bangladesh against Pakistan‟s oppression in „East Pakistan‟.
