The flag of India

1. CAPTAIN ANUJ NAYYAR

Nayyal fall during the battle of protecting the sacred of his country

Captain Anuj Nayyar, of 17 Jat Regiment of the Indian Army, headed his group to capture a key mountain top called Pimple II.

However, the key was possessed by Pakistani infiltrators in the Kargil War in 1999. Nayyar and his group fought in all out battle like warriors without any aeronautical backing. A rocket explosive specifically hit him, yet he carried on till his last breath to secure the strategic mountain peak as much as he can. He finally died in respectfully honour.

There is a bit of trivia from the actor Saif Ali Khan played Captain Nayyar's role in J. P. Dutta’s movie LOC Kargil.

2. COLONEL NEELAKANTAN JAYACHANDRAN NAIR

Colonel Nair respect and protect his men with all of his will

Colonel Neelakantan Jayachandran Nair of 16 Maratha Light Infantry was deployed in Nagaland in 1993. 

On December 20 of the same year, his convoy was ambushed by Naga rebels. Col N. J. Nair displayed exemplary valour and took on the rebels on his own in order to break the ambush. He sacrificed his life to save his men. 

Finally, for his outstanding courage, the Colonel has been awarded the Ashoka Chakra and Kirti Chakra, the only Indian to have won both the prestigious awards.
