"Over" "Sir" "Lieutenant Kaalia, carry out detailed survey with this patrol" "News is that a few rats have crossed over into our territory from the LOC lf you notice any suspicious activity, get in touch with me immediately... and pass me the information" "Not to worry, sir." "We'll crush the rats and push them back across the LOC" "Good." "All the best" "Thank you, sir" "Lieutenant Kaalia, come in." "Over" "Lieutenant Kaalia, come in." "Over" "Lieutenant Kaalia, this is your C.O" "Lieutenant Kaalia, come in." "Over" "Amit, do you here me?" "Amit..."

"Wait for my further order" "And please don't send anymore search parties" "Let me talk to higher command." "And I'll get back to you" "Over and out." " Over" "What happened?" " lt was an ambush, sir lt was so dark, couldn't tell where the enemy was..." "The Mujahidins and the Pakistani troops have crossed the LOC... and intruded several kilometers into our territory" "From this information, it looks like they're all over the place" "The Muskoh valley, the Dras sector and the Batalik sector" "They've taken over the whole Indian territory" "And they have occupied our bunkers too" "The rations our troops had left behind in the bunkers... is what they're feeding off to attack us!" "The problem is that they're watching the National Highway number one... through point 4875, Tololing and Kukarthang... and continuously shelling our convoys" "Situation is very serious." "Connect me to Delhi" "Right, sir" "Sir, the enemy plan is simple." "To cut of Kashmir from Ladak... by hitting national highway number one" "Orders from Delhi are very clear" "The maximum mobilization must take place in the Kargil sector" "Orders are to press maximum number of battalions into service" "And as we know, with the enemy sitting up there at an advantageous position... requiring us to attack them from down below..." "So the ratio will be 6:1" "We'll lose six, They'll lose one" "And Kargil terrain is such, where the ratio will be 10:1" "And that the reason why maximum mobilization is taking place" "Sir, let us cross the LOC and cut off the enemy from behind" "So that we lose less lives" "We'll get into Pakistani territory and cut off all their lines of supply" "No Brigadier." "The orders are very clear" "That we'll be going by the book" "At no point of time, we'll cross the line of control" "These are the clear instruction from Delhi" "And so, let's move 1/11 Gurkha Regiment first" "But the 1/11 Gurkha Regiment has just returned from Siachen, sir" "Can't help it." "They are the best fighters for this area" "Colonel Lalit Rai will take command of the 1/11 GR" "Let me talk to him" "Colonel Lalit." " Sir?" "You are required to proceed to Yaldor Kargil sector immediately" "And take charge of 1/11 Gurkha Regiment." " Yes, sir" "We'll make arrangements to drop you at Yaldor within 24 hours I'll be there, sir" "Jai Hind, sir" "27 Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) 470otherranksatyour command,sir!" "Battalion !" "Don't move!" "Sir!" "3 officers, 27 JCOs and 470 other ranks at your command!" "Okay" "Battalion !" "At ease!" "Praised be Goddess Kali!" "Here come the Gurkhas!" "The Gurkha regiment is known for its bravery!" "My brave friends, battle and bloodshed aren't unknown to us" "We saw Kashmir bathed in blood recently!" "The Gurkha regiment is famous all over the world" "Even Hitler had once said..." ""lf l can have the Gurkha troops..."" ""l can conquer the entire world"" "And, as your Commanding Officer..." "Lalit Rai wants to see you victorious in Kargil!" "Any doubts...?" "None, sir!" "Praised be Goddess Kali!" "Here come the Gurkhas!" "Battalion mount" "Message from the Command, sir" "Colonel Thakur, move your Battalion 18 Grenadiers to Kargil Dras sector immediately" "Stop all operation in Kashmir valley and proceed immediately" "Right, sir" "Run, Suleman !" "Run !" "Let go!" "Let go!" "You've had a narrow escape" "Had you got into it, you'd have been taken too" "Scared, aren't you?" "He was armed to his teeth." "He could've killed you" "And I'm a Maratha... a real man" "We don't get scared." "We give others a scare" "And I'm a Jat from Haryana." "I only hit out" "That's the problem with you" "Pig-headed guys." "You won't ever use your brains" "Hail Maharashtra" "Hail Haryana" "Sachin... stop fighting, guys" "Word is that all the operations in the valley have been called off" "And Battalion is moving forward to Dras sector" "Come on" "Relax" "Soldiers, I have received orders" "The Tololing glacier, which is our territory and on which we have a post... has been captured by the enemy." "From there.... the enemy is keeping a watch on National Highway number one" "They are monitoring every move our convoys are making... and keeping an eagle's eye on their activities lt's very necessary for us to eject the enemy from there" "We've got to launch an attack on them" "They sent a couple of battalions up there" "The 16 Grenadiers are presently engaged in combat over there" "The task is now being entrusted to us... and Head Quarters wants us to accept it" "As if there are only a dozen Jihadis sitting out there!" "The Naga battalion has already got there, sir" "Something is surely fishy, sir." "Nobody's telling us the whole truth lf we are issued orders, we'll definitely launch an offensive, sir" "But the enemy's at such a height, every grenade they hurl at us... will come down at lightning speed, sir." "Besides, we have no information about the enemy, sir" "Are they 8 in number or 800 ?" "Even if there are 8000 troops out there... they've gotten into our house!" "And we'll surely throw them out sir!" "Easier said than done!" "If we're a family, you're like the father among us" "So why are you thrusting us to the path of cowardice?" "And that too, blindfolded!" "When a child walks through a dark alley... he sings and whistles, out of fright" "We'll go out singing too, sir" "The same old song my mother keeps humming" ""So lover boy..."" ""tell me the truth..." "what's going to happen?"" "Sir...wrong grammar sir." "Are you here to win the war or correct my language...?" "Sir, let us have your orders." "The battalion is ready" "Eighteen Brigadiers..." "The mighty heroes!" "The mighty heroes!" "Colonel Baba, listen... move your Battalion 17 Jat to Kargil sector immediately" "Jai Hind, sir." " Jai Hind" "Relax Anuj." "Sit down." "Catch your breath" "Thank you, sir" "Where did you steal the ice?" "What else can one steal here?" "It's either the splendour of nature or the chill of ice" "Never said the true word" "Now tell me..." "what happened in the mission?" "There were four of them, sir." "All Afghan tribals" "Three of them used the cover of women and children to escape... but I nabbed the fourth one" "You must have interrogated him then?" " l did, sir" "But he kept crying and saying just one thing" ""For God's sake, shoot me"" " Why?" "He said that if he lived, people of his militant group would kill him" "But if he died, his wife and kids would be paid 300,000 rupees" "So it was, "Shoot me, for God's sake"" "I asked him who would pay them the money...?" "and he said, the militant group" "Sir, the mujahidins of Afghanistan have got as far as the Pir Punjab, sir" "A lot of movement is being observed in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, sir" "We must inform Brigade headquarter." " That we'll do, Anuj" "The Battalion is moving to Mathai." "Kargil sector" "Kargil?" "Trouble area?" "You'll have a lot of chances to catch terrorists today... and we'll get to squeeze the trigger" "Of course, Anuj." "Let's go" "Jai Hind, sir" "Deepak, you still had some leave to go, didn't you?" "I had leave, all right sir" "But I alone know how I've spent it" "What happened?" "The coffin of a soldier arrived kept arriving in the village every other day" "They were mostly from the Sikh Battalion, sir" "Deepak, our Battalion is headed to where these coffins are coming from lt's to avenge those coffins that I've returned before time, sir" "Deepak sir... the enemy will now lie in coffins" "Let's hope so" "Major Joshi." "Joe." " Yes, sir" "You have been promoted as Lieutenant Colonel" "Thank you, sir." "I hope I deserve it, sir" "You take command of 13 JK Rifles Battalion l go to be the commanding officer of Battalion, sir" "That's right." " Right, sir" "Things here at Kargil are pretty bad" "Now your task, move to Kumri, Kargil sector" "Right, sir." "Thank you, sir" "Jai Hind, sir." " Jai Hind" "Ajay, all the operations in the valley have been cancelled" "The battalion's moving towards the Dras sector" "Where's Vikram Batra?" " He had gone with the patrol party" "We had information that some terrorists were holed up... in a village five kilometers from here." "He had gone after them" "When did he go?" " Four days ago" "Four days...?" "What the hell!" "Did you try to contact him?" " Of course, Vikas... I sent a patrol party." "But by the time they got there, he had already left" "0 And the idiot didn't even try to get in touch with us l hope the patrol party is okay!" "Their security is our responsibility" "Let's get him on the radio" "We've reached base-camp..." "Message over" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings" "Sir, Vikram-saab has arrived!" "Hey Superman...!" "Thank God you're okay" "Where the hell were you?" " Where...?" "Here I am" "Vicky!" "We were all so worried" "Know what?" "Major Vikas is fuming inside" "Where did you slip away?" " lt's the terrorists who slipped away" "The places I looked for them!" "Dimwit!" "People run away from trouble..." "and you go looking for it!" "It's a man's calling to face trouble, not to run away from it" "You are crazy" "What's all the preparation for?" "Where's the battalion going?" "Kargil." "Dras sector." "There's said to be some problem there" "That's nice. I won't have to go hunting for it anymore I'll go and report." " Okay" "Relax" "Enough, enough..." "Thanks a lot" "How are you doing, Ramesh Kumar-ji?" " l'm okay" "Greetings!" "Greetings!" "Sanjay, you've returned early this time?" "Yes, I went to your house too" "Your wife sent some laddoos." "Will give them to you later" "You asked about my mother?" " She's all right" "Welcome, Sanjay..." " How are you?" "So your mother finally put shackles in your feet?" "Oh yes, she found a bride for me this time" "So... what else is happening?" "What else?" "Major Joshi is here too" "The Major has returned?" "You mean, he has returned from the advanced-post in Shahjahanpur?" "I got a feeling from the news on radio that this is serious business" "Sit down." " Sir" "All ready?" " Raring to go, sir" "Good" "Our information is that there's just a handful of jihadis holed up there... so why move the whole battalion?" "Whether this is minor trouble or major, we'll know only when we get there" "Sir, when do we move?" "We have to reach Kumri in 48 hours." " We'll be ready, sir" "Let's move" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings" "Relax" "Sanjay, you returned early from your vacations?" "Yes, sir." "As soon as I got to know that the battalion is marching forward... I came away immediately" "Raghunath..." " Yes, sir?" "Any letter from home?" "How's your mother keeping?" "She's all right, sir" "Soldiers!" "My friends... when I was a child, we used to live in a mansion outside the village" "Whenever we had a guest, we extended our hospitality to him" "Even when someone came uninvited... we still treated him to food and sent him away" "When an animal strayed into our colony... we drove it away with a stick" "But whenever a cheetah or a wolf came preying... we always shot it dead" "Something similar has happened in our house today" "A pack of wolves have got into our house" "You tell me..." "how are they to be treated?" "Kill them!" "That's what we're going to do." "So give me your word" "That we will not return, until we have accomplished our task" "Are you firm in your resolve?" " Yes, we are firm in our resolve!" ""Brother dear, this is an amazing thing to happen"" ""The laddie is playing bridegroom"" ""He leads the bridal procession..."" ""sending a shiver down every spine"" "So bridegroom... you're here?" " You... are the limit!" "This is the first time you're meeting me after your marriage" "So how was it?" " What?" "The marriage!" "What else?" "It was the way it was supposed to be" "Mom found a bride for me and I got married, that's it" "How's the bride?" "Nice" "Beautiful?" "Now, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder..." "So she's beautiful!" "You've brought a picture?" "Yes" "Where is it?" "In my heart" "How about her memories?" " They're in my heart too" "So what have you brought for me, buddy?" "Sweetmeats." " Where is it?" "In the hold-all." "Help yourself" "Very good. I thought you'd say it's all in the tummy!" "Now come to the point" "So soldier Yogendra Singh Yadav..." " Well?" "How did the nuptial night go?" " Forget it..." "Tell me!" "Fantastic!" "You..." "Jerk!" "You were the one who got married and I got almost killed" "How come?" "You're Yogendra Singh Yadav." "So am I" "You belong to the 18 Grenadiers, so do I I got a congratulatory note for the wedding I'm glad it came here to me." "Had it fallen in my wife's hands... she'd have cried, "My husband has got married again !"" "She'd have left for this place with a stick... and poor me would have taken all God gave me!" "You'd have got a nice beating from your wife!" "The nuptials were okay, you know." "In fact, it was all very nice" "But when I woke up early in the morning, I had a terrible nightmare" "What?" "I saw some people trying to snatch the national Tricolour from my hands" "But Yadav-boy..." "I just wouldn't let go of the flag I thrashed them all on my own and drove them away..." "Your dreams are as black as your tongue!" "Your dream has come true" "Not you alone, we're all going together to save the Tricolour" "Do what you will." " What's to be done...?" "What?" "We'll thrash them with this very flag and shove them across the border" "We'll send them back to where they came from!" "We've seen the peacock dance" "We've seen the heaviest of fogs" "And now the drains tell the sea..." "learn to rage!" "We've seen what noise the showers can make!" ""Brother dear, this is an amazing thing to happen"" ""The laddie is playing the bridegroom"" "Shut up, will you...?" "Shut up!" "I hear there's a lot of tension there." " Maybe God has given me an opportunity" "To sacrifice my life in order to protect my friends..." "Don't you dare heap curse on my beloved... that too, before we are married." " Okay, okay... I'll never say such a thing again." "I'll come back and marry you" "You and I will then talk about giving birth to babies... okay?" "Go away!" "Where's the battalion?" " My battalion has left for Kargil I'm told there are signs of an impending war there I'm a soldier, after all" "And only the fortunate soldiers get to see action on the battlefield" "Whenever you talk about battle..." "my heart begins to sink" "Don't you dare, Mrs Yadav..." "you will not shed a single tear I want to carry memories of your smiling face with me" "Smile now..." "Go on... smile..." "Yogesh... you thought you could go away just like that?" "I thought you were asleep I knew you'd be leaving early in the morning... so I couldn't go to sleep all night." "I heard everything" "You got up, went to the bathroom... took a shower, dressed and were about to sneak out like a thief I didn't want to disturb anyone lf Eshita had woken up, she wouldn't have let me leave" "But you'd still have gone away." "To your other family I have just one family." "The soldiers in my battalion... you and Eshita." " And whose support do I have?" "You have a protector." "The one in the temple..." "Lord Krishna" "As if He won't protect your battalion !" "Why not?" "He always chooses a medium to do what He wants to do" "And I think, I'm the one He has chosen" "All right... but do take care of yourself" "Don't worry." "Nothing can happen to me I won't let it either!" "Even if death comes calling..." "I'll confront it" "Really...?" "How?" "Like this!" "Papa... come back soon." "Okay?" "Hey Sanjay..." "why the long face?" "Aunt, my battalion has left Sopore... for Kargil." "I've got to leave too" "No, son." "Your uncle died in the war of '65... and now you...?" "If something happens to you, it'll be the end of this family" "Mine is a huge family, Mother" "The entire Indian army is guarding it lf not now, when again will I go to defend my motherland?" "Give me your blessings." "And see me off with a smile, okay?" "All right, son" "Oh, you...?" "Santo..." "Wait, Santo" "Listen..." "listen... I've heard everything" "And so the coward adorns her eyes with tears already?" "All right, I'm a coward." "Not someone brave like you... to send you to face the gun with a smile" "Nothing will happen to me, silly" "Your love is a shield I'm wearing" "You're trying to humour me...?" " No I promise, I will return lf not for anyone else... it'll be only for you" "Do come. lf something happens to you, the world will call me a witch... who swallowed her fiance" "You're so worried about the world, aren't you?" "My world begins and ends with you" "This time I'm serious." "Serious about you I swear" "Look in my eyes and tell me lf you think I'm lying, you may go away" "What do you plan to do in life?" " Join the army" "Why army?" "Because a soldier lives by chance, loves by choice... and kills by profession" "I'm very impressed, Mr Vikram Batra" "You know, Mitthu?" "An officer has to spend most of his time on the borders" "Will you be able to live with that?" "Don't you think you are moving too fast?" "I want this relationship to be more than a mere friendship I want to give our friendship a name..." "will you be able to live with it?" "Now you look in my eyes and tell me... what do they say?" "Mr Anuj Nayyar." " Excuse me." "Lieutenant Anuj Nayyar I'm sorry." " Yeah !" "You better be sorry" "Never call me mister, okay?" " Hey!" "You're already fighting with me!" "What will happen in the future?" "What?" "If it comes to the worst, we'll have a bad anniversary photograph" "Excuse me." "Are you proposing to me?" "I don't know." "I'm I?" "Well yeah, I suppose I am" "So, yes or no?" "Lieutenant Anuj Nayyar, you are an officer" "Behave like one" "Get down on your knees and ask for the lady's hand" "Yes, ma'am" "Will you marry me, please?" "Yes I will" "Show me where the burn is" "Forget it, Mother. lt's nothing." " Show it to me..." "Good God!" "Want me to apply some cream on it, son?" "Mother, your son's joining the army where huge bombs are going to explode" "Will you come to kiss his hand there?" "When you say such things, I feel very scared, son" "Mother..." "Here comes my support." "Our neighbour!" "My child, I could've made some tea for you, if you had come a bit earlier" "Look at him..." "he has burnt his hand" "Where?" " Lay off!" "Ever so eager to hold my hand." " Show it to her" "No, Mother." "I'll have to wait to take his hand" "What does that mean?" " He knows what I'm talking about" "He won't let me do anything for him" "He makes the tea on his own." "He himself heats the water for a shave" "He sews the buttons on his shirt" "And he uses a brush to string his pajamas" "And if I'm not looking... he will himself sit down and wash his own clothes" "Well?" "Why must you do everything on your own?" "Mother, you did everything for me till I grew up" "Now when I can do it on my own, why must I make you do it?" "General Manoj Pandey, some chores are meant only for women" "Absolutely right!" "Bring home a daughter-in-law lt'll make you happy and my burden will be taken care of too" "Where do you find such daughters-in-law nowadays, mother?" "We do. I've even found someone." " Really?" "I approve of her." " Who's she?" "Mother, don't utter one name please." "That's Hema" "Else, it'll ruin your son's mood I must leave now" "Where to?" "I've kept some lentils on the stove." "I'll wait till the broth is cooked!" "Isn't she nice?" "She's crazy!" ""The boundaries beckon you..." "walk on, O traveler"" ""The borders summon you..."

"Watch your step" "Here you are, Manoj." " Thank you, sir" "What are you thinking about?" "This can't be the work of mere infiltrators, sir" "To blow up an ammunition pile and the TV tower with artillery... the artillery fire's all coming from the Pakistani's, isn't it sir?" "Your guess is right, Manoj" "But you must save your anger and your strength for the enemy I'm only angry with myself, sir" "How did the enemy cross the LOC and get in, in the first place?" "There were a few bunkers lying vacant on the LOC" "Since the owners weren't around, they seemed up for grabs" "That's all right, sir." "Even if the milk isn't covered... the dog must know where to stop" "The motherf!" "@$%" "Get out of these shelling area" "There's shelling on the National Highway, sir!" "Motherf!" "@$%..." "They're using heavy shelling to welcome our forces!" "Yadav, we had information that they and some Mujah... what do you call them...?" " Mujha... screw them!" "The Mujahideen !" "Looks like they want to wreck the National Highway... so they can isolate Ladakh and Kashmir from the rest of the country!" "I was told some rats had got in ls that the sound of the rats?" "Balwan, maybe these rats are going to bother us" "Bombshells... bombshells One after the other!" "Glory to Krishna!" "Glory to Mother India!" "Sir, neither has anyone seen the enemy, nor heard them" "Who they are and in what numbers, no one knows" "All we see is a hail of bullets... and hear the cries of those who are dying" "The injured soldier must've told you something?" "They don't even know whether the ones up there are human or beasts... dogs or wolves!" "Dogs and wolves don't use rocket-launchers and rifles, Anuj" "These men must be the crazy jihadis you have seen in the valley" "The sort of firepower they are using clearly suggests... that the Pakistani forces are giving them full support" "This is a serious situation" "Those firing from up there could be just 4 in number or even four thousand" "We are being thrust into a wreck we know nothing about" "When one is groping in the darkness... if not a torch, one must at least have a candle, sir" "Sharmaji, if you are so fond of asking questions, why did you join the army?" "You ought to have gone to Parliament or another government assembly I'm sorry, sir." " lt's okay" "Get the Bravo company ready, for reiki" "To understand the enemy, we must learn the terrain I need Anuj with me, sir" "Sure, but after three days of acclimatisation" "Now if anyone of you have any questions or doubts... ask me right now." "After this no questions" "Understand?" " Yes, sir" "Sir, we will make contact with the enemy in three days" "We'll identify the enemy." "I promise you" "Good luck" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings" "Sir, my truck has run off the road." "I need help to get it out, sir" "Let's go and see" "C'mon boys, let's move" "Which battalion are they from?" "They're the dead bodies of officers and soldiers... from the Sikh Regiment and the Grenadiers" "We're taking them to Delhi from Srinagar" "Bodies." "Truckloads of them I swear it on the milk my mother fed me... I will avenge every death !" "Right now I'm not thinking of revenge." "I'm thinking of their families... in whose courtyard the bodies of these martyrs will be laid" "Looks like there's a lot of trouble brewing in the Kargil sector, sir" "Let's put the coffins inside" "Our information said it was about a hundred mujahideen lt was wrong" "The enemy strength is estimated to be between 2000 to 3000 troops... which has taken control right from the Muskoh valley to the Batalik sector" "Supported by Pakistan's fifth Northern Light Infantry" "Take some men to the right." " Right away, sir" "Sir, looks like all the villagers have run away because of Pakistani shelling" "All clear, sir!" "Relax." "Sit down, Manoj" "Come." "Sit" "Manoj, we have established control over the village Yaldor" "Why don't we make this our base-camp?" "Brigadier Devendra Singh has issued orders... that a company of our Gurkha Regiment will help the 3 Punjab Battalion... and the 16 Grenadiers." " Very well, sir" "They haven't been able to make any headway towards Kukarthang" "Because of the enemy's power of resistance" "Enemy at Kukarthang is very powerful." "A man in fire power" "Who could be better than you to battle the enemy, Wrestler Pandey...?" "I want you to take a company and proceed towards Kukarthang" "Very well, sir." " ls that okay?" "It will be done" "But I have a request." "Even if don't get any rations... there should be no lack of ammunitions, sir i'll make sure of that I want you to be fully prepared." " Very well, sir i will take a company and proceed towards Jubaar" "Tomorrow we'll move at six hundred hours" "Six hundred hours, it will be, sir" "Relax I've asked you to relax although I know... that any relaxation for us in the coming days is going to be extremely sinful" "We have been entrusted a mission that won't bring relaxation anywhere near us" "Our target will be the Kukarthang Post" "Soldiers of the 3 Punjab and the 16 Grenadiers... have been trying to capture the post at Kukarthang for the past few days" "But such is the fire and confidence of the enemy... that our soldiers haven't been able to move further at all" "We've got to rush to their help I know it's not an easy job" "But looking at the confidence, bravery and history of the Gurkha regiment... it doesn't seem difficult either." "Any doubts?" "None, sir" "We will carry enough ammunition, but do also carry a lot of stretchers" "Which means some of us are not going to return, sir" "Each and every one of us will return." "In whatever state he is" "That's Manoj Pandey's promise to you." "We will not leave behind a single friend" "Any doubts?" " None, sir" "Some lives will still be lost, sir" "Yes, surely" "Maybe you don't know." "Death is a bride... that picks and chooses the most handsome of grooms" "Then I don't stand any chance, sir."
