Read this Mr. PM Narendra Modi, If you have any shame you will act. A 22 year old officer of the second Battalion the Rajputana Rifles, kept his word of defending the Nation, the word he gave while passing out of the Portals of the Chetwood Hall of the Indian Military Academy Dehradun.

"The safety, honor and welfare of my country come first always and every time.
The honor, welfare and comfort of the men I command come next.
My own ease, comfort and safety come last, always and every time.
Jai Hind:

AND HE KEPT HIS WORD, AN ACT OF INTEGRITY MR. PRIME MINISTER TILL THE VERY END BEFORE FALLING PREY TO ENEMY BULLETS AT THE BATTLE OF THE KNOLL AT KARGIL.

DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO KEEP YOUR WORD MR MODI? LIKE THIS 22 YEAR OLD OFFICER CAPTAIN VIJAYANT THAPAR VIR CHAKRA OF THE 2 RAJPUTANA RIFLES ?
NO SIR YOU DON'T AS YOU HAVE AMPLY PROVED.

THIS BRAVE OFFICER MUST BE SQUIRMING IN HIS HEAVENLY ABODE AT THIS UNGRATEFUL NATION AND ITS UNGRATEFUL SPINELESS LEADERS.

His Fathers Tribute.

Son,
The brave way you left this world, at the age of 22 is a measure of how you lived your short life and what you valued. In meeting the stark challenges of capturing Knoll against all odds, during the battle of Three Pimples with heroic coolness and single minded devotion to duty, you have achieved immortal honor. In death you have epitomized the spirit of national pride - an honor which makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Your actions will forever inspire generations of Indians to come. You have left us with pride for being the parents of a worthy son and a lifetime of pain for having lost a child we loved.
-- Col. V.N. Thapar

Sometime before the final assault Capt. Vijyant Thapar VrC (Robin) left this letter at the form up place (FUP) of the attack area, to be handed over to his family in case he failed to return.

Dear Papa, Mama, Birdie and Granny,

1. By the time you get this letter I will be observing you all from the sky enjoying the hospitality of Apsaras.

2. I have no regrets. In fact when I become a human again I shall join the Army and fight for the Nation.

3. If you can please come and see where the Indian Army fought for your tomorrow.

4. As far as my unit is concerned the new chaps should be told about this sacrifice.

5. I hope my photo will be kept in the "A" Company Mandir with Karni Mata.

6. Whatever organ can be taken should be done.

7. Contribute some money to orphanage and continue giving 50/rs to Ruksana per month and meet Yogi Baba.

8. Best of luck to Birdie, never forget this sacrifice of these men. Papa you should feel proud, Mama so should you, meet (name deleted for privacy) (I loved her). Mamaji forgive me for anything wrong I did.

 Ok then it is time for me to join my clan of the Dirty Dozen. My Assault Party has 12 chaps.

Best of luck to you all.
Live life King Size
Yours
Robin

Vijyant moved to Dras with his unit under Col. M.B. Ravindernath, commanding officer, and his company commander Major Padmapani Acharya. 

The battalion was then given the task of capturing Tololing. Earlier attempts to capture Tololing by other units had failed with heavy losses. After the initial assault by Major Mohit Saxena was held up, on the night of 12 June 1999, Capt Vijayant Thapar led his platoon to capture a Pakistani post called Barbad Bunker. 

A photo in the newspapers shows him sitting with soldiers and captured arms that the fleeing enemy left behind. His letter after the battle describes the scene with dead Pakistani soldiers lying all around and his disappointment at not being able to catch two enemy soldiers alive.

After the victory at Tololing (termed as the turning point of the war), Vijyant was tasked to capture Three Pimples, Knoll in Black Rocks Complex, an ugly mountain sandwiched between Tololing and Tiger Hill. 

It was a full moon night and the enemy had good visibility. Moreover, this was an impregnable position to capture. The troops of 6 Northern Light Infantry (Pakistan) had all the advantages. Well entrenched in strongly prepared positions, well stocked and with only one narrow 'knife edge' ridge to cover, with precipitous slopes on both sides, and ravines thousands of feet deep, devoid of cover and almost vertical climbs at an altitude of 15000 ft and temperatures of -15 °C, it was indeed an impossible mission.

However, men of the unit were fired by the success at Tololing and were raging to go. The attack started with a fierce artillery barrage of a hundred guns, with Vijyant's platoon leading. The enemy responded with an equally intense and accurate bombardment on the attacking troops. In this artillery attack, Robin lost some of his men and some more were injured causing the attack to be disrupted. However with his indomitable spirit and tremendous urge to capture Knoll, he got together the remnants of his men and moved through a ravine and rejoined his company. In the melee earlier, Vijyant's platoon had gotten separated from his company. While the exchange of fierce fire was going on, Vijayant reached his company, which had already secured a small foothold on Knoll.

By this time, his company commander Major P. Acharya had been killed. At this news, Vijayant's anger was explosive. He surged ahead along the narrow ridge with his colleague Naik Tilak Singh. Both of them started engaging the enemy merely 15 m away. There were two enemy machine guns firing towards them. After about an hour and a half of fierce exchange of bullets and abuses, Vijyant decided that he had to finish the enemy. In a brief lull in firing he rushed ahead to do so but a burst of fire struck him on his head. He fell in the arms of his comrade Naik Tilak Singh. It was after that the men of his company charged and fully captured Knoll. That night had cost the Indian Army 3 officers killed, 3 severely injured, 10 ORs killed, and 42 wounded. All objectives were captured.

For this act of outstanding bravery and his ultimate sacrifice, Capt. Vijyant Thapar was awarded the Vir Chakra a gallantry award by the President of India, K. R. Naraynan, which was received by his 82-year-old grandmother. 

Shortly before he went into the attack, he wrote a last letter to his parents. This letter epitomizes the soldierly virtues of the Indian Army and shows the values of an inspired Indian. This has motivated a whole generation of Indian soldiers and youth alike. 

He was just 22 years old. Noida, his hometown, gave him a memorable farewell with about a hundred thousand people attending his last rites. The Army dedicated to him the helipad at Dras, which is known as Vijyant Helipad.

Vir Chakra Citation                                   On 28 June 1999 Captain Vijyant Thapar was commanding the Leading platoon of Alfa Company, which was tasked to assault area Knoll in Drass Sector from the north during Operation Vijay While advancing, the platoon was hit by accurate enemy artillery barrage and it suffered heavy casualties. Captain Thapar organized evacuation of the casualties and quickly rallied his shell-shocked platoon for the attack. Personally leading the attack from the Northern face against enemy's Medium Machine Gun fire, which was holding up the Company's assault, he fearlessly charged at the enemy position firing from the hip and throwing grenades. During this act, he was grievously injured in the hand and stomach but continued to advance ordering his men to follow him. Roused by the actions of their young Platoon Commander barely out of the Academy, the platoon charged up the hill against the dominating enemy position. This audacious action unnerved and forced the enemy to abandon a tactically superior position. The officer, however, succumbed to his injuries. Captain Vijyant Thapar, thus, displayed remarkable cool, raw courage and exemplary valor and made the supreme sacrifice while facing the enemy.

Mr Prime Minister it is time you kept your word or hung your head in shame for not keeping your word given to soldiers and veterans of the glorious Indian Defense  Forces, The Indian Army, The Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy. Mr Prime Minister keeping your word is the first and the last tenet of Integrity as we understand it Mr. Prime Minister Narendra Modiji. Mr. Prime Minister, Prime Ministers will come and go, but your crime of not keeping your given word to such a noble Army will be etched in black in the History of India.
