Join me in paying homage to

BRIGADIER RAJINDER SINGH
2 J&K STATE FORCES
MAHA VIR CHAKRA

on his birth anniversary today.
He immortalized fighting paki raiders in 1947 and is the first recipient of any gallantry award in Independent India.

#VeerYatra
With just 100 DOGRA troops, BRIGADIER RAJINDER SINGH defended J&K against 6000 pakis at Uri for four days in 1947.

Had he not been deceived by his own troops, who joined hands with the raiders, there would have been no POK today.

#VeerYatra
BRIGADIER RAJINDER SINGH when immortalized himself, he left behind his wife and five daughters.

#BrigadierRajinderSingh is rightly known as the #saviourofKashmir.

Spark in the eyes of Sudhir Walia was palpable from his childhood only.

While clicking this photo neither parents nor the photographer would have thought that this little boy is going to be the RAMBO of INDIAN ARMY in the coming days.

On this in 1965

SQUADRON LEADER AJJAMADA BOPAYYA DEVAYYA flying the Mystere aircraft was intercepted by a Pakistani supersonic F-104 Star-Fighter and DEVAYYA proved that it’s the flying skills & determination that matters more than the superior aircraft.

#KnowYourHeroes
The paki pilot of F-104 first fired an air-to-air Sidewinder missile, which Squadron Leader Devayya successfully evaded and the missile hit the ground.

#1965War
However, by virtue of its faster acceleration, the F-104 rapidly closed in on the Mystere and fired a burst of its 20 mm multibarrel cannon and succedded in damaging Squadron Leader Devayya's Mystere.
