Captain Vikram Batra is known for his martyrdom during the Kargil war of 1999. He led one of the toughest mountain warfare operations in the Indian history and eliminated three enemy soldiers in close combat. Often referred to as the 'Sher Shah of Kargil' by his opponents, his company killed at least eight Pakistani intruders. Known for his famous line, after capturing 'Point 5140' during the war, Captain Batra sent a radio message stating words of his victory, 'Yeh Dil Maange More'.
