Hello Everyone Today i am going to talk
about one of the bravest person on earth 
his name heard everywhere
Capt. Vikram Batra
i am going to tell you his story 
Are you ready to go thou his eventfull life?
Lets begin!
Born in the year 1974 in a the hill station 
of palampur
vikram was a talented and brave child
he always wanted to be in the army 
even thou noone in his family was in the army
he always wanted to be a solider
and he accomplished his goal.
3 May 1999
The Kargil War was called, also known 
as the Kargil conflict, was an armed
conflict fought between
India and Pakistan from May to July 1999 
in the Kargil district 
of Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere along 
the Line of Control
between this war vikram batra's team was
called to capture point 5140
now lets talk about capturing the point 5140
Point 5140, about 1500 metres north of 
Tololing on the same ridgeline, is at an 
altitude of 16,962 feet above sea level 
and overlooks the Tololing nullah. It is
the highest point on the Tololing ridgeline
and the most formidable feature in the
Dras sub-sector.
Drass is a place in kashmir it is the 2nd
coldest place on earth with temp going
up to 60.C!
and surviving this temp. is a great thing to
archive.
but capt. vikram batra fought a war at this temp.
and at a hight of 1500 metres they won!
now after captureing this point the 
army told batra to take a leave and 
said we have appointed another team to
capture the point 4875, but our brave captain
insisted the army to allow their team to capture
4875 after some hesitation
batra was given permission
to capture 4875 as well
and that was written in his fate
to die
late night batras team or may i say shershahs team was geeting ready to climb up a hill to reach 4875
so shershah is batras given code name
so as i was saying batra and his team started climbing with ammunation a radio and weopons aroung midnight they reached 4875 hid behind rocks
and thew grenades at the camps 
the firing started half of the pak army was dead the others hid and started firing too but a team of 8 vs a team of 24 hid behind bunkers was a tough fight!
firing was not stoping
a doctor was with the team and went to rescue a injured army man but he got shoot in the process of doing this batra saw the doctor shoot and ran to save him he was carrying him to a shelter
but batra got shot but batra didnt lose hope he ran straigt to the bunker even thou he got shot and threw a grenade straigt into it multiple bullets were shot at him but at the end pak army was dead
a decreased batra lay on the ground 
his team shouting of victory with tears rolling down their cheeks the victory signal was given and that was the last of him
after batras death he was awared with the paramvir chakra
The Param Vir Chakra is India's highest military decoration
