Today marks the martyrdom day of a fearless warrior who made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation. On 21 March 2009, during a counter‑terrorism operation in the dense Hafruda Forest of Kupwara, Jammu & Kashmir, Major Mohit Sharma of the 1st Para (Special Forces) displayed extraordinary courage and leadership. Despite heavy enemy fire and serious injuries, he rescued wounded comrades and neutralised multiple terrorists before laying down his life in the line of duty. For his exceptional bravery, selfless service and supreme sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry decoration #victorydayofbangladesh #sepoy #nationalhero #forgottenheroes #victorycelebration #indianheroes #realhero #independencedayresurgence #foundingpresident #indiasindependence #indiaindependence #independencedayindia #greatindia #realheroes #freedomanniversary
